The story
Founded by the Spinelli family in the 1970s, the winery has grown from local production to a modern operation with international distribution. The company's journey, as described on its official website, mentions stages of development in production and internationalization, with the involvement of subsequent generations of the family.
Production philosophy
The winery places strong emphasis on its local roots: wine is born from the land. It combines tradition with technological innovation and oenological research to enhance the characteristics of native grape varieties and produce wines that reflect the character of the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards and production are located in the area between the Frentane Hills and the Val di Sangro, an area between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic Sea, characterized by a breezy Mediterranean climate and clay-limestone soils that promote structure and aromaticity.
Awards and recognition
In recent years the winery has received several accolades, including medals at AWC Vienna 2023 and recognition in Gambero Rosso's Guida Vini d'Italia. The ZIONE line has also won awards such as the WOW! Gold for Trebbiano.
