How the wine is made
Grown in certified organic vineyards nestled in the hills of Abruzzo at an elevation of nearly 300 meters, where cooling breezes from the Adriatic Sea preserve bright natural acidity. The low-yielding vines are hand-harvested in early September to guarantee optimal freshness and grape sorting quality. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with short skin contact, followed by aging on its fine lees in thermo-conditioned stainless steel and concrete tanks to build rich texture and complexity without any oak influence.

Guided by a commitment to minimal-intervention winemaking and absolute respect for the Abruzzo landscape, they focus on preserving native Italian varieties. We love them because they craft energetic, estate-bottled organic wines that showcase true Italian terroir while staying accessibly priced and utterly delicious.
