Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Tonì" elegantly expresses all the richness, warmth and intensity of the land of Abruzzo. After a maturation of 12 months in barrique and at least 24 in the bottle it proves to be a champion of power and balance, combining the primary hints of ripe fruit and spices with evolved nuances of humus and sweet spices and with a marked but well integrated woody note

This new version of Pecorino is the result of a double selection: in the choice of the vineyards and in the harvest of the best grapes. The color is intense yellow and the nose exuberant aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit and bitter orange. The acid note blunted by its alcohol content makes it particularly long-lived. Excellent with aged cheeses, fried foods and red meats.

The Cataldino is a Montepulciano vinified entirely in white, in complete absence of skins and fermented with indigenous yeasts. This wine is the result of the draining and the first pressing (0.2 Bar). The result is a powder pink color. Of great gastronomic versatility. The company is fighting to be able to use the name "rosa" instead of "rosato".

Montepulciano "Malandrino" is a unique and historic wine for Cataldi Madonna because it managed to mark a profound turning point compared to a past in which aging in wood was an almost obligatory technique. This is how this incredible Montepulciano was born, uncontaminated by wood , which acquires its expressive power and its great personality exclusively thanks to the old company cement tanks carefully preserved and recovered. The history of Montepulciano has its roots in the Abruzzo region and the wine produced in this region was particularly praised by both the Romans and the Greeks. Cataldi Madonna wanted to rediscover the ancient charm of this ancient red and reproduce it in a modern key with a careful look at the past.

Straw yellow, the nose expresses a beautiful olfactory profile, all played on fresh notes of fruit and freshly picked flowers. In the mouth it has sprint and elongation, it is balanced and defined by a good acidity and a minerality that peeps out at the end of the tasting. Very clean, with excellent persistence.
Excellent as an aperitif, Trebbiano goes well with fish-based first courses. Spaghetti with seafood.
About us
The wine business started in 1920 with Baron Luigi Cataldi Madonna, four generations ago. But it was his son Antonio who bottled for the first time in 1975. In 1990, his grandson Luigi took over, continuing the family project of characterising the products and enhancing the territory. Until the early 1990s, the company Cataldi Madonna practically presided alone over the entire Ofena wine-growing area. Today, the company consists of 30 hectares (planted exclusively with native and traditional vines such as Montepulciano, Pecorino and Trebbiano), all located in the municipality of Ofena between 320 and 440 metres above sea level. In the vineyard, the aim is to protect the varietal expressiveness of the grapes, especially through the management of the foliage. In the cellar, the aim is to preserve in the wine the grit, flavour and freshness present in our grapes.
Our spirit
The search for harmony characterises the company in every aspect of its work, both externally, promoting the relaunch of viticulture in mountainous Abruzzo, and internally, with a close-knit, multi-functional team: Pierluigi Menichetti, administrative and commercial manager; Elisabetta Andreassi, accounting clerk; Valerio Carota, cellarman and assistant tractor driver; Silver Bislimi and Fabrizio Delfino, tractor drivers and assistant cellar drivers. These are joined by agronomist/enologist Lorenzo Landi (since 2003) and Giulia Cataldi Madonna, the current owner.
