About Winery and Wines

It all began in 1968 when Costantino Rozzi (the founder of the winery) decided to produce and promote Piceno wines and bought the first vineyards. His first bottles of CDO Rosso Piceno Superiore date back to 1970. CDO Rosso Piceno Superiore can only be produced in 13 municipalities of the province of Ascoli Piceno, in a hilly area overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

The VILLA PIGNA winery is located in one of these towns, Offida. The winery has a large underground area where the wines mature in quality wooden barrels at a constant natural temperature, and on the ground floor where the wines are aged in concrete vats that allow them to breathe naturally, then transferred to steel tanks before being bottled. The winery is surrounded by 30 hectares of land, including 8 hectares of organic vineyards.

The vines are trained using both the Guyot pruning system and the spurred cordon system. The wide range of soils, altitudes and exposures allows the grapes to be harvested at different times of the year, to make precise and technical decisions about the blend. Since 2003 the wines of VILLA PIGNA have been under the direction of Riccardo Cotarella, a renowned oenologist who has shared with the company the growing popularity of its wines and the local area. Today, after several changes in the family, Villa Pigna is managed by Costantino's daughter, Anna Maria, and his grandson, Giorgio. After two decades of excellence at both national and international levels, the winery is now dedicated exclusively to the production of Rosso Piceno Superiore. This choice may seem controversial, given the company's origins, but it is based on the deep roots that the company has always had with the territory and on the new management's passion for the most emblematic denomination that Rozzano wine could best represent.
