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 using a tent-style system (awning or Abruzzo pergola), the training system that best restores the vine's natural growth. In the tents, on a horizontal wire roof, the vines grow harmoniously and naturally, their leaves basking in the wind and sun.

A non-mechanized cultivation method and therefore dependent on the manual skills and experience of the winemaker.

Vine cultivation in huts will continue as long as small peasant properties survive.

In the cellar
100% Demeter biodynamic grapes.

Winemaking

Spontaneous fermentation is the essential condition for creating a wine capable of capturing the authentic flavors of a region.
