Abruzzo is a region with excellent wine production, and it is here that the company Centorame led by Lamberto Vannucci, who represents the third generation, is headquartered in Casoli, also known for its characteristic murals, in the province of Teramo, in the lower Vomano River Valley, about 8 kilometres from the Adriatic Sea, at an altitude of 180 metres above sea level. The company was founded in 1987 by Vannucci's father, but in 2002 it was possible to start the process of innovation, which led to the enhancement of the vines and production in the cellar. In fact, the vineyards are located on about thirteen of the company's 19 hectares, which are then subdivided into different cultures: olive groves, cherry orchards, with a part dedicated to mixed cultivation and a part dedicated to a photovoltaic system that can guarantee enough clean energy to meet the company's needs.

Abruzzo is a region with an excellent wine production, and it is here that the company Centorame led by Lamberto Vannucci, who represents the third generation, is based in Casoli, also known for its characteristic murals, in the province of Teramo, in the lower valley of the Vomano River, about 8 kilometres from the Adriatic Sea, at an altitude of 180 metres above sea level.

In fact, the vineyards are located on about thirteen of the company's 19 hectares, which are then subdivided into different cultures: olive groves, cherry orchards, with a part dedicated to mixed cultivation and a part dedicated to the photovoltaic system that can guarantee enough clean energy to meet the company's needs.
The grapes used are the native varieties of Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino and Passerina, which are perfectly suited to the hills of Casoli, consisting of clayey, compact soils with excellent exposure and a temperate microclimate. The combination of the remarkable production techniques and the perfect combination with the winemaking tradition of Abruzzo has enabled this company to produce a range of quality wines that respect the environment and biodiversity.
