Collefrisio
Collefrisio is a young, forward thinking winery located in the Chieti province of Abruzzo where the temperature is warm during the day and cool in the evening. This area is traditionally well known for the Montepulciano grapes which thrive in this climate. Third generation winemakers Amedeo De Luca and Antonio Patricelli joined forces in 2004 to fulfill a passion for the land and the vines of their forefathers. They acquired an existing hilltop estate and set about creating a winery that embraces modernity while also honouring the long tradition of winemaking in the extraordinary terrain of Abruzzo. Three estates share a 50 hectare vineyard and the grapes are organically grown, not to make organic wine, but to provide a gentle and non-invasive care to the integrity of the grapes. The soil, the climate and the vines play their role fully connected one to the other and supporting the growth of grape varieties, mainly Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, as well Pecorino, Trebbiano, Gewürztraminer and Falanghina.
