About Winery and Wines

Our roots are so deep, that it is hard to say since when we produce wine. For centuries, surely. Long ago in the past, we produced the wine for home consumption, a big house, with many generations and families that lived together. Today we produce 3 million and a half of bottles a year, but the love for the vine never changed. A real passion that has been cultivated and matured during generations and in the end brought to one result. It will be Vincenzo Spinelli the first one to face the challenge, in other words, the commercial enterprise: “We have the land and the vine: if we can make the good wine for us, why can’t we make it also for the others?”. In the beginning of the seventies the consumption still has a common character. It is sold in the wholesale, but for Vincenzo the quality is always in his mind. He will have to wait about ten years, when the sons Carlo and Adriano will work full time in the company to give a crucial impulse to his project. The production capacity increases and, with great care, they start to control all the production stages, starting from the selection of the grapes, to the vinification and to the bottling. The quality is, now, the rallying cry. Therefore, the commercial strategies change and are refined, and so is the development of the sales network. In the past century, the last big leap happens with an expansion of the company in 1992, that represents the crowning achievement of a work. With the new and wide production rooms and with advanced machines and equipment, Vincenzo Spinelli finally completes the project, for which he spent a life for: a company able to combine high quality with high production volume.

Our wines don’t rise for one season, they don’t follow the trend, nor look for effects. They are pure wines like us and our land, that take from modern oenological techniques everything that is needed to bring out their natural characteristics. They are the result of a tradition that is continuously improved and especially of our rural custom of being patient: because everything, also the grapes and the wine, have to mature in time and in the right way. Starting from the Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, which is the main wine of our land, to the Pecorino, whose distinct character has its roots in the antique pastoral world, passing from the various Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Merlot, Canbernet and also others, they all equally express our way of being and of understanding the land, its products and the seasons. In one word, our life.
