Fontefico

It is an organic farm that exclusively cultivates native vines and produces wines on the Gulf of Vasto. In this corner in the extreme south of Abruzzo, the Pecorino, Trebbiano and Montepulciano vines are permeated by the salty and constant wind of the Adriatic Sea, which characterizes the Fontefico wines for their great sapidity and minerality. Each wine comes from a single and specific vineyard, so each of them has its own identity. Pecorino Superiore is "the rogue", because the vineyard is mischievous and does not let itself be tamed, but is then forgiven with a superlative wine.
