Abruzzo, Teramo hills, Italy
A brother and sister who took over the business in 2000. They each took on the tasks they found best suited to their respective characters. Elena is more versatile and likes to deal with new challenges, so she preferred to work in sales, taking her around the world, where the company exports 80% of its
products. At the winery, she also works with a young, dynamic team, overseeing every step of the production cycle. Alessandro needs to have everything at his fingertips so he spends most of his time at his desk, where he mainly manages administrative aspects. He’s always in the front line, troubleshooting, and the first port of call for winery staff.
Cerasuolo is certainly Abruzzo’s most iconic traditional wine, a family beverage that farmers took to the fields with them as refreshment on summer days. For us, it is the wine that provides proof of how the year’s harvest of Montepulciano grapes has fared. We select only the best clusters to guarantee the wine’s structure and fresh, pleasing aromatic notes. Grapes are all hand picked.
Destemming, cold maceration for 24 hours. First-pressing collected in a tank. Low-temperature settling. Fermentation in steel tanks at low temperatures (12-13 °C) for about 30-40 days. This technique safeguards the aromatic potential during fermentation. Maturation for 3 months in stainless steel.
A deep cherry pink hue sets the scene for strawberry and pomegranate notes. The perfect balance of softness, acidity and minerality weaves a good tangy underpinning. Raspberry is to the fore in the finale.
