Il 13 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Doc RISERVA

The Az. Agr. Buzzarone is more than a winery, it is the realisation 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, and this is how the 13 Montepulciano dâAbruzzo Doc RISERVA Montepulciano dâAbruzzo Doc RISERVA was born. We are in the Fraz. Castelferrato, in the province of Chieti. The soils of our hills are mostly medium-textured clay and rich in nutrients. Here it can truly be said that nature has been extremely generous. On one side, the proximity to Monte Majella brings significant temperature variations. On the other, the nearby water basin helps to soften the air. Finally, the sea breeze from the Adriatic contributes to the savouriness and minerality that characterise our wines. We cultivate our land following organic farming philosophy. We follow nature's own rhythm without forcing anything. We keep our fields covered with grass, thereby also preventing soil erosion. Sustainability is important to us, and we only use naturally derived products. In everything we do we prioritise quality over quantity. In the cellar: the philosophy remains the same here too: we pursue non-invasive practices. Vinification follows traditional artisan production methods enhanced by modern winemaking knowledge. The wine is then aged using only the batonnage practice, a technique 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 the winegrower. Our wines, native to Abruzzo, are vinified as single varietals. They are only worked in steel, for the fullest expression of variety and territory.
