The story
The Vignamadre label is part of the Di Carlo family's winemaking operations, a producer with historical roots in the area. In recent years the family has relaunched the brand, focusing on vineyard innovation and on promoting native varieties from Abruzzo through ranges such as Nobu 1830 and other organic labels.
Production philosophy
The winery states a strong commitment to organic viticulture and sustainable practices: employing natural techniques for plant protection, conducting biodynamic and energetic trials in the vineyard, using amphorae for some fermentations, and designing the facility according to principles of bio-architecture. Some labels are marketed as biovegan or with low‑intervention winemaking practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Production is based in Abruzzo, with vineyards in the municipalities of Caldari and Ortona. The wines reference local appellations such as Terre di Chieti, and the company reports calcareous soils and notable altitudes for some vines.
