Pescara Hills

Among the colors of the Abruzzese hills and the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, this wine is born with great freshness and refined fragrances.

Color: Bright and very dense ruby red, almost impenetrable and of good consistency. Smell: Direct nose, with almost "sweet" notes, excellent fruity presence of cherry, strawberry, plum, a floral note of small wild flowers and the contribution of various sweet spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste: The sip shows an expansive alcoholic participation that excels, encouraging the tannins that manifest themselves giving structure, while remaining silky and soft. The initial sensation is sweet and over time it fades into dryness, in a habitat of warmth and softness, where the olfactory scents are confirmed with a persistent sweet sensation in alcohol, followed by a delicate sapidity and a light mineral trail. Harvest: The uncontaminated Oasis of Rosarubra , immersed between the sea and the mountains of Abruzzo and bordered by suggestive secular trees, is privileged by a magnificent temperature range favored by an altitude which varies from three hundred to five hundred meters above sea level. This is a territory controlled entirely by nature, in which any interference by man is prevented. A refined and extraordinary symbiotic agriculture that respects the microbiology of the soil and plants, as well as supporting self-production and the use of indigenous mycorrhizae that enrich the microorganisms present in the soil, strengthening the healthy development of the vineyards and preserving the genetics of our terroir . It is in this medium-textured soil that the Guyot training of this precious and unobtainable line dwells, from which a pure wine obtained with 100% Merlot grapes is born, which in addition to enjoying a splendid exposure is characterized by a very high planting density that exceeds 5,000 plants per hectare with minimum yields of around 1.6 kg per vine. Furthermore, during a manual October harvest, only the best grapes of the vine are selected, the precious fruit of the aforementioned and advanced biodynamic, organic, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, which guarantees total respect for the environment and its ecosystem, as well as offering us the maximum expression of the authentic typicality of the territory in which they were born. Vinification: Vinification in steel in thermo-conditioned vats followed by malolactic fermentation and subsequent maturation of at least 12 months in 300-litre Slavonian oak barrels, at the end of which we will proceed with bottling in total absence of oxygen, for a final period of refinement. How to match our Merlot wine: An uncommon, refined, long-lived wine, the Merlot of "Vigne Lomanegra" is always a pleasure to keep in the cellar, because over the years it will surprise us positively. But for those who don't want to wait so long and would like to taste it right away, we suggest bringing the wine to a maximum temperature of 16-18 degrees, pouring it into a nice, roomy goblet with a wide rim, always uncorking it a little before serving, so to allow him to open up well and express himself at his best. Perfect on any occasion, it can be enjoyed alone or in company, preferably combined with structured and tasty dishes: aperitifs, appetizers, vegetarian dishes, red meats and medium and long-aged cheeses. Let's imagine rustic polenta croutons, ricotta and spinach ravioli with tomatoes, baked pork knuckle, stewed stew, or medium-aged pecorino with walnuts.

Obtained from Chardonnay grapes grown on the hills of Pescara, where Acànto, a perennial herbaceous plant with white flowers, germinates. The low-temperature macerated grapes subsequently ferment in small-carat steel and wood containers.

From Pecorino grapes, a native Abruzzo vine, this wine is obtained, warm and well balanced.

It originates from small bunches of Chardonnay, harvested manually in a vineyard that over the years has reached the right balance to produce grapes of great concentration. It is fermented in small oak barrels where it remains for a long period, so as to enrich its complex aging.

Chardonnay "international grape" in the Abruzzo region manages to acquire strength and robustness that harmonize perfectly with the elegance inherent in its nature, giving life to a unique product that fully expresses the peculiar characteristics of our "terroir".

From the desire to continue to rediscover the link with one's roots, this wine is born which takes its name from an ancient measure: "sessantapassi", which corresponds to the width in Neapolitan steps of the tratturo that crosses our vineyards. A very delicate wine with a pale straw yellow color with greenish reflections, fruity aromas with very subtle floral notes, a decidedly dry, fresh and lively flavor. It goes well with soups, white meats, appetizers and fish-based dishes, also excellent as an aperitif.

Authenticity and ease go hand in hand in love, but can they happily bind together in a wine? What is the recipe for greatness? Adapt to trends or reject them? Is madness doing what others do or creating a personal taste by selecting native vines? For my way of being, always restless and never satiated with questions, the answer is fluctuating. For this I have decided to propose some of my best productions within this selection. The wines of Vinosophia rediscover the ancient native grape varieties, interpreting them in the most authentic way in search of the fatal attraction, seduction and memory. The wines of Vinofollia adapt the great international vines without distorting their essence. Am I insane, am I wise? Get an idea by enjoying my vinosophical ideas. Alluring because in search of emotions. Surprising because bored with predictability. Fogged by global trends. Satisfied with my way of making an international wine "homegrown". In this Pinot Grigio with floral scents, strongly mineral, senselessly citrusy, there is the lucid madness of my thought.
