ANCESTRALE Cococciola

L'Az. Agr. Buzzarone is more than a winery, it is the realization of a dream that since 2015 has been carried forward with great courage, building on the grandfather's legacy with the aim of enhancing the character of the territory, this is how the ANCESTRALE Cococciola ANCESTRALE Cococciola was born. We are in Fraz. Castelferrato, in the province of Chieti. The soils of our hills are mostly medium-textured clay and rich in nutrients. Here it can be said that nature has been extremely generous. On one side, the proximity to Monte Majella brings significant temperature swings. On the other, the body of water helps to soften the air. Finally, the sea breeze from the Adriatic contributes to the savouriness and minerality that define the character of our wines. To cultivate our land we follow organic farming philosophy. We follow nature's own pace without forcing anything. We keep our fields covered with grass, thus also preventing soil erosion. Sustainability is important to us, and we only use products of natural origin. In every action we take, we prioritize quality over quantity. In the cellar: the philosophy is the same here too: we pursue non-invasive practices. Vinification follows traditional artisanal production methods enhanced by modern winemaking knowledge. The wine is then refined using only the bâtonnage technique. A practice that enriches its complexity, extends its longevity, and highlights its natural organoleptic characteristics. We carry on the family tradition that has always embraced the art of winemaking. Our wines, native to Abruzzo, vinified as single varietals. They are aged only in steel, for maximum varietal and territorial expression.
