Faraone

It is the simple "Red" wine of our territory; we are close to the Marches and therefore it is natural to have here in addition to Montepulciano also Sangiovese which is the most typical red grape of the province of Ascoli with which we border.

Red of the Pharaoh cathedral. Overripe Montepulciano harvested in November, when possible, aged in oak barrels and blended with different vintages, therefore always around 17 degrees and with a slight residual sugar.

Cerasuolo is the traditional house wine of the Abruzzo people; the everyday wine obtained from Montepulciano grapes fermented with the skins for a short time in order to extract little color and few tannins; it is the wine that in the common diction is called "red" that is "red cerasuolo" or color of the "cerasa - cherry".

In recent years we have taken care of our olive grove again, which has about 350 olive trees, located next to our company. Since the 2019 harvest, 450 500ml bottles have been produced. The oil obtained is cold extracted, only by mechanical means.

The Passerina grape is the native Trebbiano variety of our province. It was traditionally grown in the areas closest to the sea and has the typical characteristic of the Trebbianos of being able to make large productions; naturally, with non-intensive breeding and adequate pruning, production is limited and very interesting wines are obtained.

The Pecorino grape is a white grape that was traditionally grown on the inland hills of our province, suited to a cooler climate and in clayey soils. Production had almost been abandoned due to poor production yields.

Nino Bianco is the wine dedicated to Giovanni Faraone, the last of 3 brothers, therefore Giovannino, for friends Nino. His passion for white wines and for experimenting led him in 2000 to plant half a hectare of Falanghina. Not exactly a native of our region, but a very interesting grape common in central/southern Italy. The idea was precisely that of being able to play with our other two native grapes, Passerina and Pecorino, to make a white wine that broke the mold and the rules, combining the power of Pecorino, the acidity of Passerina and the minerality of Falanghina .

After years of trials, in 1983 we asked for and obtained authorization to produce sparkling wine; we were the first in our region to the extent that we received from the competent authorities for Abruzzo and Molise the acronym VSN1/TE (Natural Sparkling Wines n° 1/ Teramo).

With the new Collepietro farm and above all with vines of a few years, we didn't think we could produce long-aging sparkling wines.

Produced with Montepulciano grapes harvested in mid-October, it underwent more than 15 days of maceration in steel vats. It was then left to mature for 5 years in large 30 hl wooden barrels. It was bottled in the spring of 2018. One of the best vintages, its validity is estimated for over twenty years.

It is produced with Montepulciano grapes, fermented at a controlled temperature in steel vats. After fermentation it underwent refinement in large wooden barrels for a period of 24 months and was then bottled. It is wine for 15/20 year olds.

It was in 1971 that we registered in the DOC register the rows of white grapes we had with the denomination of Trebbiano, grapes that we actually called "Uva Passera"; then we discovered that the official denomination was "Passerina", in any case from the Trebbiani family as confirmed by ampelographs and today also by DNA analyses. The grapes were pressed, cold macerated, fermented at low temperatures. Bottled in March 2017.
