“THEWine is bottled poetry.”
ROBERT LOUIS BALFOUR STEVENSON
The reality of 100% Made in Abruzzo is the province par excellence, the Teramo one, nestled between the Dolomite Gran Sasso, the green English hills and the Adriatic Sea. That air that nourishes entire vineyards with sun and breath.
The miracle of Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Cerasuolo merges into the centenary tradition of ancient families and modern businesses that revolve around cellars and food and wine products.
In conclusion “Happiness, like a fine wine, must be savored sip by sip.”
