Description

This wine reflects the ancient soul of our winery and pictures a well defined historical moment (1960s-1970s-1980s) that made the history of our Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, the fermentation in concrete. The name recalls the ditch that marks the vines from which the grapes of Montepulciano are harvested. They are the most ancient vines of Loreto Aprutino estate which are underlined on the label to mark the strict bond with the territory.
