Description
In our estate, this is Montepulciano's first expression for each vintage and the first indicator of its quality. The extremely careful selection in the vineyard and on the sorting table gives the wine good body and maturity, enriched by fresh flavours given by a low temperature fermentation, giving further evidence of Montepulciano's flexibility.

Our family-run company was set up 1999 when we decided to take over the vineyard cultivated for many years by our Father Rocco. Convinced of the impossibility of separating the concept of quality of wine from that of its genuineness, we immediately converted the vineyard to the biological method and our first bottle was produced in 2000. The first production unit, located on the ground floor of the old farmhouse was later joined by a barrel cellar for maturing the wines and a new production cellar. At the same time our range of products expanded with the study of significant variations on Montepulciano theme, followed by new Pecorino and Trebbiano vineyards.
We cultivate 21 hectares in Loreto Aprutino, between 250 and 300 meters above sea level, 25 kilometers from the Adriatic, on the first spurs of clayey-calcareous hills that close the valley of the Tavo torrent, rising towards the 3,000 metres of the Gran Sasso d'Italia, the highest peak in the Apennines. This particular position means that the vines are constantly affected during the day by the air temperate from the sea, and at night, especially in the last month of ripening, by the cold that descends from the mountain, which is already covered in snow in September.
The Abruzzi pergola represents the type of planting of the oldest vineyards, while high-density espalier is used for the most recent plantings. Agronomic practices vary according to the type of planting, the characteristics of the vine, and the individual parcel of land, always aiming to achieve a natural vegetative-productive balance, aimed at obtaining limited quantities.
Harvesting is carried out exclusively with successive passes of scalar picking, selecting each time on each plant only the perfectly healthy and ripe bunches, leaving the others to gain greater concentration until the next harvest. Cultivation is carried out using organic methods, certified in accordance with European laws.
Torre dei Beati Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Mazzamurello 2017 was awarded the Tast e Vin by AIS and is one of the 22 best regional wines in Italy. Read more
