From 6 hectares of beautiful hillside vineyards, with an average age of 10 years, extended over the sunny Bucchianico hills, in the province of Chieti. Medium calcareous clay soils at an altitude of about 280 meters above sea level. The remarkable thermal excursions determine optimal conditions to give rise to high quality grapes.
