SOIL the soils are of medium mixture tending to calcareous and have retained their natural fertility thanks to the poor exploitation of the soil by man.

IN THE VINEYARD marabelle vineyard is an element of great agronomic and naturalistic value. The sheeps provide the natural and smart control of native spontaneous flora and the natural fertilization bringing the animal spirit in the vineyard. Machining is minimized. from the location of the vineyards on one side of the mountain it is easy to understand that from a phytosanitary point of view the plants require little intervention and they are related only to the use of copper and sulfur.

GRAPE ORIGIN vine of uncertain origins, whose grape are considered delicious by the sheep, From which perhaps the name originates. It was particularly widespread throughout the Abruzzo Region before the appereance of phylloxera. it was gradually abandoned to make room for more productive varieties such as Trebbiano.

IN THE CELLAR the fermentation is spontaneous without the use of selected yeasts, it takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. The wine is then aged in the bottle for about 6 months. The result is a fresh and fruity wine, expression of both the vine and its terroir.
