Estate
With over 200 years of history Podere Castorani spreads across 75 acres of lush countryside in the province of Pescara, Italy, between Majella National Park and the Adriatic Sea. The estate’s principal grape varieties are Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in red and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo in white. The partners regularly test new grape varieties in a perpetual search for the fullest expression of the terroir. At Podere Castorani, their pursuit of excellence can only be satisfied through respect for traditional expertise.
Vinification
The Organic grapes for this wine are hand harvested in the second half of September and then gently pressed. After an initial cold maceration, the fermentation takes place at low temperatures. Aged “sur lies” for 4 months in stainless steel tanks.
