Gaetano Carboni is the man behind this incredible estate in Abruzzo, which dates back to 1521. His family’s cellar in Loreto Aprutino lies just across the road from the famous Valentini estate. In the same vein, Gaetano continues a long tradition of making wines naturally and with respect for the land. His vineyards between the Gran Sasso and the Adriatic sea are planted to both Montepulciano and Trebbiano. Gaetano’s holdings cover 14 hectares, all of which are farmed organically (certification was received in 2006). He harvests by hand and transports the grapes in small crates to his cellar. A light handed approach and respect of traditions result in wines with a great purity and balance. 

This Montepulciano is aromatic and deeply layered, with purple fruit, smoke, iron and a touch of wild herbs.
