Is an organic boutique winery in Abruzzo, overlooking the Gulf of Vasto, in the southernmost part of the breathtaking Trabocchi Coast’s landscape. Growing exclusively native grape varieties, such as Pecorino, Trebbiano and Montepulciano, 15 hectare of vineyards caressed by fresh and saline winds of the Adriatic Sea, making mineral and savory wines, with an uncommon structure and longevity. Each wine comes from a single vineyard, with unique and unrepeatable characteristics. Each vineyard therefore has its own identity which is found on the label of each wine.
