In the wide and varied range of labels of the Conti Zecca winery, the wines made with native single grape varieties stand out for importance and interest. The company is investing considerable energy in this direction.
This wine takes its name from an underground hiding place, where the locals found shelter during dangerous situations. The entire farm took on the name of Rifugio, which today is a particularly suitable area for the cultivation of fine Primitivo grapes.
Every year the "Nero" of the Conti Zecca winery reaches the "finals" in the judgments of the most renowned wine guides, obtaining scores that, if they do not exceed 90 cents, are punctually very close. This year too is no exception. It is a wine that follows a long aging: it ages 18 months in French wooden barriques, one year in large oak barrels and six months in bottle.
The Aglianico Salento PGI "Terra" from the Conti Zecca winery is a ruby red wine. Notes of wild berries, tobacco and vanilla emerge on the nose. The flavor is enveloping and harmonious with soft tannins. Before being bottled, it is aged in barriques and oak barrels.
Red wine with a ruby red color with violet reflections; scent of undergrowth with red fruits and wild berries; dry, balanced, full-bodied palate. Nice acidity and soft tannins, persistent. Ideal pairing with roast meats and fresh cheeses.
In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red color, very concentrated. The vegetal notes discreetly face the nose, where it is then enveloped by an iridescent fan, between fruity and spicy. When tasted it has a good structure, with a warm and enveloping sip. Wonderful with cannelloni with sheep's sauce.

Also known as Traminer Aromatico, Gewürztraminer was already known in the thirteenth century for its aromatic qualities and its ability to drink, and is today, without a doubt, the most famous and well-known South Tyrolean wine in the world. In all likelihood its origins are to be found in Termeno (Tramin), from which the name "Traminer" derives.
Rich in sodium, albite is a typical mineral of the Alps, in particular of Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont and Alto Adige, where it finds the ideal subsoil for its development, proving to be a faithful ally for the vine. This Sauvignon is proof of this, presenting itself as the perfect synthesis between territory, climate and grape variety, thanks to its typicality which, in combination with albite, gives life to an authentic, complex and characterful label, capable of perfectly combining, to the gentleness of citrus and floral tones, an important structure and a strong minerality.
We have abolished substances such as Albumin (from eggs) and Casein (from milk) which are commonly used for wine clarification processes.

Excellent wine. Intense ruby red color, full, elegant bouquet with hints of cherry, soft and voluminous flavor. In the ancient tradition of the Montefalco area, after having selected the grapes for the production of Montefalco Sagrantino, all the other red varieties were picked for the composition of a fresher and easy-to-match wine. Scacciadiavoli is inspired by this tradition and perfects it by adding that touch that makes this wine even more lovable.
This sweet wine has a unique style. The red color is impenetrable, the scent evokes blackberries, dried fruit and cinnamon, the taste is of a singular balance. In fact, the dense texture of tannins imprisons acidity and sweetness and everything is confused, creating a gustatory sensation of harmonious fullness. It is thanks to the drying of Sagrantino grapes on racks that such a concentration is obtained. Originally Sagrantino grapes were used only for the making of this sweet wine, drunk on the occasion of religious ceremonies in the villages of the area.
The grapes have a strong anthocyanin charge, good acidity and a good sugar content. The vine has this name because the Tuscan wool merchants recognized a resemblance to their grapes and thought it was a mutation of Sangiovese.
It is the only DOC in Abruzzo dedicated exclusively to white wine, perhaps the best among the Trebbiani.

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.

Only what is unique is unforgettable!
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.
No completely explicit sign is fascinating. Seduction is the space between what is shown and what is left to be imagined and slowly savored, sip after sip. It is a Red… garnet like the emotion drawn on the cheeks, distinctly fruity, with hints of spices and licorice. It helps those who want to seduce, seduces those who think they know how to do it.
