Cococciola is an ancient Abruzzo vine characterized by good production and a nice acidity. Our Cococciola was born from a hectare of awning vineyard planted in the 80s in Loreto Aprutino. Its large greenish clusters are harvested by hand and immediately taken to the cellar where they are pressed in a soft press, fermentation is started in stainless steel at a controlled temperature and finally the wine is bottled in December. The Cococciola must is green in color, this indicates a wine with a marked acidity and freshness. It is fragrant, dry and drinkable and explodes on the nose and palate with hints of freshly picked fruit such as frozen apple or snuff peach.

From the Loreto rows we collect the Passerina grapes, an Abruzzo white grape variety rediscovered and much appreciated for some years. Harvesting by hand, soft pressing, cold decanting and aging in stainless steel, release the pure essence of this Passerina that recalls the sea breeze at sunset. The delicate herbaceous notes are the prelude to a fresh, fragrant, savory drink on the palate. Each sip gives hints of yellow pulp fruit such as peach and pear with citrus influences of grapefruit and aromatic herbs, the finish is mineral with hints of almond.

Our Cococciola comes from 1 hectare of Abruzzo pergola-trained vineyard planted in 1985 on the Loreto Aprutino estate. Its large greenish-colored clusters are harvested by hand and immediately taken to the cellar to be crushed-destemmed and gently pressed. The fermentation of the must takes place inside stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with the help of selected yeasts, and finally the wine is aged for about 4 months before bottling.

The Passerina grapes come from the young rows planted in our Loreto Aprutino estate in 2011. The grapes are harvested by hand, then the grapes are pressed, softly pressed and the must obtained is cold decanted.

The Pecorino grapes come from 1 hectare of vineyard raised in the Abruzzo pergola system planted in our Pianella estate around the year 2000 and from 1 hectare of "espalier" trained vineyard in the Loreto Aprutino estate, planted in 2011. The grapes are harvested by hand in the very early hours of the morning and are immediately transported to the cellar in small boxes. Afterwards the grapes are pressed, softly pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, a small part of the mass is decanted into French tonneaux from 2009 for a brief refinement of 3 months. At the end of February the wines are brought together and bottled to continue aging in the bottle for about 2 months.

The hand-picked grapes from the Pianella and / or Loreto Aprutino vineyards are placed in small boxes and transported to the cellar. The crushing and pressing is carried out with the aid of a small crusher-destemmer and an ancient press. The must obtained is transferred partly in terracotta amphorae and partly in used French oak tonneaux. To start the fermentation, the “pied de cuve” of indigenous yeasts previously obtained from the same grapes is added. Fermentation normally takes place in 7/10 days and the wine obtained is decanted and aged on its noble lees in 15hl Slavonian oak barrels and in terracotta amphorae. The refinement lasts about 2 years, after which the wine is decanted and bottled without filtration.

Authenticity and ease go hand in hand in love, but can they happily bind together in a wine? What is the recipe for greatness? Adapt to trends or reject them? Is madness doing what others do or creating a personal taste by selecting native vines? For my way of being, always restless and never satiated with questions, the answer is fluctuating. For this I have decided to propose some of my best productions within this selection. The wines of Vinosophia rediscover the ancient native grape varieties, interpreting them in the most authentic way in search of the fatal attraction, seduction and memory. The wines of Vinofollia adapt the great international vines without distorting their essence. Am I insane, am I wise? Get an idea by enjoying my vinosophical ideas. Alluring because in search of emotions. Surprising because bored with predictability. Fogged by global trends. Satisfied with my way of making an international wine "homegrown". In this Pinot Grigio with floral scents, strongly mineral, senselessly citrusy, there is the lucid madness of my thought.
