The story
Founded by Vincenzo Spinelli in the 1970s, the company grew with the transition to the second generation and progressively expanded its facilities and sales channels. Over time it has combined tradition with modern technologies to become one of the recognized names in the Abruzzo wine scene, remaining family-run and strengthening its presence in international markets.
Production philosophy
A vision centered on the relationship with the territory: wines that reflect the character of Abruzzo, produced with careful attention to the quality of the raw materials and a balance between traditional knowledge and modern winemaking practices.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located in the Val di Sangro and the Colline Frentane, between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic coast; a Mediterranean climate and clayey, calcareous soils with a marked diurnal temperature range that promote balanced ripening.
