A Return To The Origins
We wanted to give new value to the ancient "Whole Bunch" winemaking technique, the traditional method of making wine before the destemmers took over in the 1980s.
A return to the origins, an unconventional process that makes the most of what nature is able to offer, creating a wine rich in aromas and flavors that best express our land, the Abruzzo region.
