A temple of vineyards

The Atessa Municipality, situated on the southern edge of Abruzzo, is where we live and have been making wine for centuries. It is an area nestled between the Frentane hills and the Sangro River, which has always been dedicated to cultivating grapes, one of the most important cultivations in Italy thanks to exceptional terrior: a clay-limestone mixture and unique micro-climate, the result of its vicinity to the sea on one side and the peaks of Maiella on the other.

A strong and gentle land

Proudly encompassing its rustic values and traditions, Abruzzo is now starting to reveal its treasures to the world. Not only its wine. The Adriatic Sea, just a few kilometers away, with the enchanted “Costa dei Trabocchi”: a stretch of coastline renowned for its natural beauty and variegated environment, which takes its name from Italian stilt fishing machines. The winds blowing from the sea gives some of the coastal wine varieties, like Pecorino, Passerina and Cococciola, their typical full-bodied flavor.
And mountains just a short distance away, with their temperature fluctuations, also give our wines their aroma. The mountainous areas are characterized by pristine natural areas of the Maiella National Park and the Roccaraso Ski Resort.

In the most authentic Italy

There is a deep intermingling of popular history and sacred culture, which comes to life daily, for example in the Miracolo Eucaristico Church in nearby Lanciano, a pilgrimage destination for thousands of people annually. There are also traces of ancient history: the Juvanum archeological site from the Roman era, in Montenerodomo, and on the megalithic walls of Pallano. Many typical Abruzzo wines come from Roman origins.

In the end, our beloved Abruzzo wine is symbolic of what we all love most about Italy: history, traditions, food and environment, all faithful to their roots and never betrayed by modernity.
