Terroir

Abruzzo

The terroir of this part of Abruzzo, often referred to as the winery between the national parks, is distinct from the broader regional landscape, as it is shaped by the proximity to the Gran Sasso and Majella mountains. This area experiences a cooler, more temperate climate compared to the warmer coastal plains of Abruzzo, with strong diurnal temperature variation that helps preserve acidity and aromatics in the grapes. The vineyards, situated at high altitudes, benefit from the fresh mountain air, which slows the ripening process and results in wines with elegance, freshness, and pronounced minerality.

The soils here are a mix of limestone, clay, and alluvial deposits, providing excellent drainage and adding structure to the wines. This terroir is particularly well-suited for Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, which takes on a more refined and lifted character, with vibrant acidity and complex herbal and floral notes. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo from this area expresses crispness and minerality, with bright citrus and white flower aromas. The overall combination of mountain influence, cool temperatures, and mineral-rich soils makes this a unique pocket of Abruzzo, producing wines with great purity, balance, and a strong sense of place.

Region

Campania

Campania's terroir is defined by its diverse landscape, ranging from the volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius to the coastal plains along the Tyrrhenian Sea. The region benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild winters, allowing for a long growing season. The volcanic origins of the land provide rich, mineral-laden soils, especially in areas like Taurasi and Campi Flegrei, which impart unique depth and complexity to the wines. The diurnal temperature variations between day and night help preserve the grapes’ acidity while promoting aromatic development. Campania is home to some of Italy’s most historic grape varieties, such as Aglianico, which thrives in the volcanic soils of Taurasi, and Fiano and Greco di Tufo, which produce elegant white wines with vibrant acidity and floral notes. The region’s terroir allows for wines that are complex, structured, and full of minerality, with a distinctive sense of place that reflects both its volcanic origins and its coastal proximity.
