Il Divus was born in 1987 and proudly tells of the place it comes from, the oldest vineyards of the estate. After being selected and hand-picked, the grapes are taken to the cellar where they are crushed and destemmed. Afterwards, the must ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature and then delestage and pumping over are carried out. The wine obtained is decanted into large barrels and barriques of various passages where it ages for about a year. Finally, after resting in the bottle we can taste a fresh, tannic, soft, full-bodied, mature wine that improves over time.
In the high pastures of the Maiella, the mother mountain of Abruzzo, it can happen to come across tholos, particular pseudo-dome structures made by piling up dry stones. They are rural shelters, linked to the pastoral world, but actually have a noble and remote origin. In fact, examples of tholos can be found in various areas of the Mediterranean: from the Mycenaean civilisation to Etruscan tombs, from Roman buildings to Sardinian nuraghi, to the trulli of Puglia, also belonging to the same category of ancient and often sacred constructions.
This name, so ancient, so noble, so ancestrally linked to the land and the genius of man, seemed perfect for our most prestigious wine. Carefully selected Montepulciano dAbruzzo grapes generate this complex and powerful cru, aged for 18 months in new barriques and 12 in the bottle, with great structure, elegance, balance and long persistence. The red deccellenza in our line of premium wines, which already express in their name their close bond with the land and traditions of Abruzzo.
Each family in Abruzzo has its own tatone. Confidential and affectionate appellation for the grandfather, the tatone actually represents a fundamental figure in the traditional family structure, to which age and maturity confer authority, prestige and wisdom. Our Tatone is like this too: a mature and complex Montepulciano dAbruzzo, to which 24 months aging in large Slavonian oak barrels and 3 months in the bottle gives balance and elegance, with aromas of fruit and spices supported by an excellent structure and accompanied by a long persistence. A complex and at the same time authentic wine, like all tatoni tenaciously linked to its traditions and its land: this land of Abruzzo that we cultivate with love and respect, of which we work the grapes with the wisdom of generations of winemakers, using technologies more advanced to protect and enhance its qualities. Our Land of Aligi.
Each wine has its own story, and that of Zite is one of the most beautiful to tell. Born from Pecorino grapes, one of the most typical Abruzzo vines, traditionally linked to transhumance. From time immemorial its rows have been lapped by the flocks in their incessant going. But Pecorino is also a wine with a thousand facets, to which a special role is reserved in Abruzzo rites and customs. Perfumed, fine, with excellent structure and persistence, also perfect as an aperitif, it has always been the wine for weddings. It's up to Pecorino to brighten up the great day of celebration, the one in which the zite crown their dream of love. Here, in fact, the zite: in Abruzzo dialect, the beautiful girls to be married, the brides. This Terra dAligi wine is dedicated to them, the white deccellence in our line of high-level wines, produced with selected grapes, refined with the best times and techniques in relation to their characteristics, which already express in the name their close link with the land and traditions of Abruzzo.
Cerasuolo is the wine that was once offered to guests to welcome them and to demonstrate how good they had been during the harvest. The grapes are those of the youngest rows of the estate, are harvested by hand and crushed-destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for about 8 hours and then vinified in white. It is then left to ferment at a controlled temperature in stainless steel where it remains until January / February, when it is bottled. Splendid pink reflections and light fruity and floral aromas typical of the variety are confirmed on the palate. Fresh, fruity and savory, it always invites the next sip.
The Pecorino grapes come from 1 hectare of vineyard raised in the Abruzzo pergola system planted in our Pianella estate around the year 2000 and from 1 hectare of "espalier" trained vineyard in the Loreto Aprutino estate, planted in 2011. The grapes are harvested by hand in the very early hours of the morning and are immediately transported to the cellar in small boxes. Afterwards the grapes are pressed, softly pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, a small part of the mass is decanted into French tonneaux from 2009 for a brief refinement of 3 months. At the end of February the wines are brought together and bottled to continue aging in the bottle for about 2 months.
Montepulciano grapes are strictly hand-picked. After the first crushing-destemming process, the skins remained in contact with the must for 12/24 hours in small concrete wine vessels until the spontaneous alcoholic fermentation began. A fraction of fermenting must was then taken from the bottom of the wine vessel, through a classic “bleeding” operation, which was subsequently transferred to terracotta amphorae where it continued to carry out spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. The refinement continued on the noble lees in amphora until bottling in the first days of spring.
The desire to try our hand at the production of artisanal wines with historical and indigenous varieties is one of the reasons that led us to produce this Trebbiano. The grapes from the oldest vineyard we have on the farm are harvested by hand in September, and then they are pressed and pressed in order to obtain the must to be used for vinification. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously by indigenous yeasts through the preparation of a "pied de cuve", created by selecting the ripest grapes before their harvest. Since 2018 Trebbiano Fosso Cancelli is vinified and aged partly in terracotta amphorae and partly in Slavonian oak barrels.
Il Fosso Cancelli was born in 2007 from the strong desire to create a wine of great craftsmanship and tradition. This wine reflects the ancient soul of our company and goes to photograph a well-defined historical period that has made the history of our Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, fermentation in cement. The name recalls the ditch that delimits the vineyards where the Montepulciano grapes are selected and harvested. These are the oldest vineyards of the Loreto Aprutino estate and are shown on the label to underline the great link with the territory. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are pressed in our ancient press and the must is transferred to concrete tanks. Fermentation occurs spontaneously by indigenous yeasts without temperature control. At the end of the fermentation proceeds with the racking and the new wine obtained is left to rest for 1 year in the cement tanks where it fermented. The wine is then bottled and aged for at least 3 years.
