Our family roots trace back to Abruzzo in central Italy. The  Abruzzese were described as having their heads in the clouds  and their feet in the ocean, due to the region being close to both  mountain and coast. Today, we still have our feet firmly planted  and our heads full of dreams.

It was made using a variety  of fermentation techniques  including natural, whole bunch and  cold maceration.  This wine will continue to develop over the next  5-10 years.
