Origin and history of the vine

The valley that gave birth to the vine is Peligna, with written evidence as early as the mid-1700s, since the last post-war period its cultivation has extended to the entire coastal hilly area and today it is the main vine of the Abruzzo region. It is a plant capable of growing both on inland mountainous areas and on the hills, up to the coastal areas.

Growing area
Orsogna 440m a.s.l. – 16 km from the Adriatic Sea and 16 km from the Maiella.

In the vineyard
Cultivated in huts (tendone or Abruzzo pergola), the form of farming that most of all restores its natural vegetative development to the vine. In the hut, on a horizontal roof of wires, the vines grow harmoniously and naturally and the leaves catch the wind and the sun. Form of cultivation that cannot be mechanized and therefore linked to the dexterity and experience of the winemaker. The cultivation of the vine in the huts will resist as long as the small peasant property survives.

In the basement
100% biodynamic Demeter grapes.

Vinification
Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers every year and relies on the strength and health of the territory and the vineyard to obtain grapes rich in yeasts which are essential for fermentation in the cellar. The spontaneous fermentation of wines is the fundamental condition for giving life to a wine capable of restoring the authentic flavors of a territory.
