Vere Novo

A unique Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

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.

The Whole Bunch Process

Our vineyards flourish on a steep hillside 100 to 150 meters above sea level, embraced by the Vomano River and just a short distance from the Adriatic Sea.

This prime south and southeast exposure ensures abundant sunlight, promoting exceptional grape ripening. The river reflects sunlight and moderates temperatures, while gentle sea breezes bring a fresh touch of flavor during the day.

At night, cool, dry winds descend from the Gran Sasso mountains, creating temperature variations that enhance the aromatic complexity of our grapes. This unique interplay of elements shapes a terroir perfect for cultivating extraordinary wines.

Hand picking and selection of the best Montepulciano grapes in the vineyard

Fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks with the inclusion of about 30% whole bunches with gentle pumping over and délestage, with a temperature around 26-28°C.

Retention on lees and maturation in stainless steel for about 18 months before bottling
