  • Start up year: 2006

Our story begins with an intuition and continues thanks to the desire to never be satisfied. From the vision of Don Antonio Ulisse to the present day, the tenacious spirit of the company remains unchanged: a young winery that makes innovation its main driving force. Since 2006, we have been exploring the infinite possibilities that Abruzzo viticulture has to offer, combining a passion for the historical grape varieties of these lands with the need to evolve and experiment.

Our values are the glue that holds us together. We carry on our idea of wine day after day, working as a true team. We are a family business because together, with care and respect, we give daily shape to the dream of those who founded that family. It is a complex system, which we carry forward with pride and a collaborative spirit, with a single goal in mind: to continue to be active players in the oenological renaissance of the region we love, Abruzzo.
