3 Bottles of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Wine - Santone Vini

Santone Vini: a Passion Passed Down Through Generations!

In the heart of the enchanting vineyards of Abruzzo, there lies a tale of passion, dedication, and tradition. A tale known as Santone Vini, a brand that carries the legacy of Tito Gabriele Santone, a man deeply rooted in the agricultural soil.

From a young age, Tito toiled amidst the grapevines, nurturing a passion for wine that led him to realize a dream in 2013: the founding of Santone Vini. It has been a journey filled with challenges and sacrifices, but also marked by remarkable successes and advancements.

Tito's unwavering perseverance led him to discover the most promising lands for vine cultivation, investing in seemingly daunting locations and placing bets on the hidden potential of the region.

Yet what truly sets Santone Vini apart is their constant commitment to producing high-quality wines, an art that begins with the care of the vines and skillfully blends tradition with technological innovation.

Today, the family's tradition is an indispensable element in the company's evolution, with Tito's three sons actively involved in management. Over 180 hectares of vineyards, nestled between the majestic Gran Sasso and the enchanting Adriatic Sea, serve as the stage for their passion. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is their primary cultivation, but they also devote equal care and dedication to other grape varieties.

The magic happens in the cellars of Notaresco, where five distinct wine labels take shape, including three prestigious Abruzzo DOCs: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, along with two IGTs, Pecorino and Passerina. These wines represent the very essence of Italian flavor, shaped by passion, attention to detail, and the family tradition that beats in the heart of Santone Vini.
