Origin and history of the vine
Malvasia is a grape variety with a unique history. Its name derives from a contraction of the name of the Greek city of "Monemvasia" located in the Peloponnese which means "one door". Between 1500 and 1700, thanks to the Venetians, who spread it throughout the Mediterranean, it became the most important wine in Europe.


Cultivation area
Orsogna 440m above sea level – 16 km from the Adriatic Sea and 16 km from the Maiella.

In the vineyard
Cultivated in huts (Abruzzo awning or pergola), the training method that most of all restores the vine to its natural vegetative development. In the huts, on a horizontal wire roof, the vine grows harmoniously and naturally and the leaves take in the wind and sun. Form of cultivation that cannot be mechanized and therefore linked to the manual skills and experience of the winemaker. The cultivation of vines in the huts will continue as long as the small peasant property survives.

In the basement

Winemaking
Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers every year and relies on the strength and health of the territory and the vineyard to obtain grapes rich in yeasts essential for fermentation in the cellar. The spontaneous fermentation of wines is the fundamental condition for creating a wine capable of restoring the authentic flavors of a territory.
