The Ciavolich family originally moved to the area of Pescara, in southern Abruzzo, in the 1500s as wool merchants with agricultural holdings, and the cantina for wine operations was constructed in 1853. Grapes are picked by hand and are gently pressed, with fermentation occurring in steel vat and old oak and bottling without filtration.

A stunning, complex Montepulciano with a beguiling mix of red and black berry fruits, spicy wood and savoury, earthy undertones. Medium to full on the palate with generous fruit, fine grained tannins and a long and sumptuous finish.
