"La canaglia"

Pecorino d'Abruzzo Superiore

The Pecorino Superiore “la canaglia”, is a full body white with high minerality and freshness.

Long lasting citrus notes of grapefruit, sage and white flowers. It will surprise your mouth with a pleasant flavor of almond. This vineyard is spiteful because, despite our attention, has a very low yield, as it didn’t want to put much effort to produce more grapes.

But at every harvest, we forgive it as it gives us a characteristic, crispy and mouthfilling wine.

You will never give up with it!

This is why this is “la canaglia”, “the rascal” of Fontefico.

Pecorino d'Abruzzo Superiore

“La foia” is a special edition of our Pecorino Superiore.

The colour is a shining gold. Chestnut honey and chamomile, white pepper and pot-pourri.

It fills your mouth with its incredible warm volume and a flavor of vanilla cream and dry apricot.

This is an audacious wine, without prejudices, that seduces your palate and your soul.

It’s like a desire that catches you and does not leave you until your thirst is over.

It is the passion for the emotions. Being overwhelmed by “la foia” means giving yourself different sensations.

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Superiore

The Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Superiore "portarispetto" is one of the most authentic expressions of this ancient grape variety. It offers delicate green and herbaceous notes, like the green sweet pepper. Smooth but still very mineral, with a clean tang and a salty sharpness.

Many growers just want this grape variety to be high-yield for a wine as simple as possible. However, if you grow its clusters with love and respect, as we do the Trebbiano becomes just amazing and can tell a lot about our Territory, with a special charm. Hence, bring respect to Trebbiano d’Abruzzo... “portarispetto”!

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore

The “fossimatto” Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore, with its unique color, will catch your eyes first and then will kidnap your mouth with currants and raspberries notes.

It releases a fresh and crispy aftertaste and a pleasant feeling of licorice’s root. It is produced with the same grapes and from the same vines of our red “Cocca di casa”. Hence “fossimatto” Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Superiore is not a common rosè, it is unique of its kind, with stunning colour and powerful taste. To those who ask why we do not follow the trends of an usual light rosé without any character, we just answer:

Fossi matto! (not a chance!). This is “fossimatto” of Fontefico.

Montepulciano D'Abruzzo

The "cocca di casa" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is a smooth red with pleasant tannins.

Lightly balsamic with berries and cherries scent.

Licorice and a light spice in aftertaste make it very drinkable! The Montepulciano is the main grape variety of our Region, the bunches we love the most, the wine that, in all honesty, we drink with the greater pleasure and in all circumstances.

Montepulciano is our privileged grape, the one we cuddle the most.

This wine is our “cocca di casa”, our “princess of the house”.

Montepulciano D'Abruzzo Reserve

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva “titinge” is a smooth and powerful red with a pleasant tannic strength.

It opens on the nose with balsamic notes of eucalyptus.

Later it releases red berries and berries. Chocolate and spices on the aftertaste. It stands out for its remarkable balance between power and drinkability. This Reserve comes from the oldest Fontefico’s vines, planted in the 1970.

Titinge is the fruit of the our passion for the pure wine.

It’s strong but gentle, just as they say about people from Abruzzo. Because of its exceptional colour intensity, bestowed by the Cru of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Il Pàstino, the name “titinge” is a play of words to say “it does dye you”.

Aglianico Terre di Chieti

Costetoste opens your nose with intense balsamic notes of anise and rosmary. Prunes and black sour cherries mingle with pepper and anice. Full body, brackish with a high acidity and a final aftertaste of cocoa beans.

The “costetoste” is the only Aglianico made in Abruzzo, from our vineyard Le Coste: a steep and difficult soil, totally exposed to the South, with extreme agronomic conditions. Hence, extreme this wine is!

With violent tannins, it is a muscled and uncompromising red. Costetoste means just this, hard and tough. And you’ll love it.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

It’s proven: not all the turkeys gobble. However the way that humans hear the gobbling depends upon the language that they speak and the culture that they live in.

In USA the sound is "gobble gobble", while in Italy is "glou glou" which is an expression used for easy drinking wines as well.

Let us introduce you Monty, the estate’s turkey mascot.

“Monty” is for whom want to explore the lighter side of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo: is a thirst quencher fruit forward wine raised in stainless steel tanks with low intervention in the cellar and unfiltered.

Drink it and do glou glou glou, just like Monty.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our olive trees are 70 years old, with a yield of about 4 kg of extra virgin olive oil per tree.

The resulting oil is characterized by a very low acidity and a delicately fruity flavour, with light floral tones and a herbaceous taste. The finish is soft, slightly bitter. Perfect for raw fish, seafood in general, vegetables and white meats.
