something

We are a small family-run artisanal winery located in Abruzzo, Italy, between the Adriatic Sea and Gran Sasso mountain. After cultivating the family vineyards for over 40 years, we decided to make our own natural wines, as an authentic expression of our territory, from native grapes (first of all Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo). In the vineyard we only use copper and sulfur according to organic farming. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations from indigenous yeasts and the absence of oenological sophistication are our certainties. We leave the wines free to express themselves to restore the flavors of our hills.
