Strappelli

The roots of this plant, here in Abruzzo, become La Genziana: a liqueur that is a panacea for digestion. The union between our passion and the desire to pay homage to the territory, has led us to create the Gentian of Cantina Strappelli .

It is obtained from a careful selection of fine pomace of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a vine much appreciated for its extraordinary characteristics. It is a well-structured Grappa with a full and enveloping taste.

strappelli extra virgin olive oil, is obtained from multi-varietal olives harvested by hand and organically grown on the hills of Torano Nuovo. The olives are pressed within 24 hours of harvesting with a modern and hygienic extraction method: centrifuge at very low extraction temperature. It has a yellow color with greenish reflections, a decidedly fruity flavor of ripe olives, a veiled appearance as it has not been filtered.

Our Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo comes from the traditional R7 clone of Montepulciano. The name of the wine is linked to its color: it derives in fact from the "cerasumà" which means cherry. This is obtained through a medium-long process of cryopreservation, during which the contact between the must and the skins gives the wine the bright cherry color.

The Cerasuolo Colle Trà also comes from the R7 clone of Montepulciano. Its “Superiore” denomination depends on its yield per hectare which is lower than that of the basic Cerasuolo. The right ripening of the grapes combined with an adequate selection make this label a unique wine of its kind.

Rose Spumante Brut is a Charmat method also known as “Martinotti”. It has a drinkable, lively character capable at the same time of retaining its elegance

Our Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Strappelli comes from a Trebbiano clone from an ancient vineyard of about 50 years. Compared to the more common Trebbiano clones, it differs for its smaller cluster. It is harvested after the first half of September, undergoes fermentation in steel vats to be finally transferred to the bottle.

Our Pecorino Soprano Strappelli comes from a rather young vine of about 20 years. It is the earliest of the white vines; its harvest during the first week of September opens the dances of the grape harvest. The name Soprano was born to associate the strong voice of the Soprano with the strong character of Pecorino.

Our Passerina Colle Trà comes from an ancient “spargolo” cluster clone, the so-called “trebbiano scienciato”. Compared to the compactness of the traditional grape, the spargolo has a more elongated shape and is less subject to rot that can occur with humidity. The passerina must undergoes a spontaneous fermentation process, triggered only by indigenous yeasts, the same for all the wines of the Colle Trà line.

Malvasia Colle Trà comes from a long Malvasia clone, native to the Vibratian territory with tight and elongated clusters. Due to its turgid and at the same time fragile grapes, it is more easily subject to rot, therefore it is not always possible to vinify it every year.

Nubile Pecorino Colli Aprutini is produced only in very particular years, when the right soil and climatic conditions are met. The 2015 vintage, in fact, is only the second ever made! It is harvested when summer is coming to an end and the bunches are swollen with must with high sugar levels. For this reason the alcohol content of this particular wine is the highest of the whole production

Passerina Spumante Brut is a Charmat method also known as “Martinotti”. Passerina has a notable hint of minerality on the palate.
