Visit to the Cellar
and Cultural Tasting
The visit begins with a real immersion in the vineyard.
Walking through the vineyards, guests discover why Loreto Aprutino is considered a terroir of excellence all over the world: what it is characterized by and what distinguishes it.
We show the difference between the two cultivation systems: the Abruzzo pergola and the espalier.
The tour continues in the three cellars: steel, wood and concrete, terracotta, where it is possible to understand the different company’s wines and the production philosophy.
During the visit, the guest listens to the story of the Ciavolich family, originally from Bulgaria, which arrived in Abruzzo in 1500 and in 1853 began the production of wine in Miglianico, in the ancient cellar which can still be visited today. In 1960 the production moved to Loreto Aprutino, in the lands inherited from the noblewoman Ernestina Vicini, wife of Giuseppe Ciavolich. Here today, Chiara Ciavolich, from tents of the 60s and younger rows, produces wines from native vines that respect the territory.
In the Bottiglieria you can then taste 4 selected labels combined with Niko Romito’s bread based on Solina and Saragolla flours, to be tasted together with the oil of our production produced by Monocultivar Dritta of Loreto Aprutino and tastings of local and Abruzzo dairy excellences accompanied by our extra jam from Montepulciano.
Duration of the visit about 2 hours.
On Mondays at 17.00
