The producer

The Di Berardino winery was born from an intuition of the owner, Fausto Di Berardino, with the intent to promote the wines through the beauty of the Abruzzo region, as well as the culture and traditions of the place, with modern and innovative methods. The vineyards, all owned by the company, cover a total of eight acres, on the hills of the Valle di Fonte Vecchia near the village Villa Caldari in the province of Chieti. These are sunny lands, once crossed by shepherds with their flocks headed to the south in search of greener pastures. All soils have converted recently from traditional agricultural lands to organic fields, thus receiving the certification from ICEA, entity that controls the production of organic soils of the area. After a careful selection of grapes, the fruits are harvested by hand without the aid of machinery.
