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

Among the captivating vineyards of Abruzzo lies a compelling tale of passion, dedication, and tradition. This story bears the name Santone Vini, a brand that safeguards the legacy of Tito Gabriele Santone, a man whose connection to the farming land runs as deep as the very roots of the vines.

From a young age, Tito tirelessly worked amidst the grapevines, nurturing a passion for wine that led him to realize a dream in 2013: the founding of Santone Vini. This journey was marked by challenges and sacrifices, but also by extraordinary successes and progress.

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

But what truly makes Santone Vini unique is their unwavering commitment to producing wines of the highest quality, an art that begins with the care of the vines and skillfully blends tradition with technological innovation.

Today, the family tradition stands as an indispensable pillar in the company's evolution, with Tito's three sons actively involved in management. Over 180 hectares of vineyards, embraced 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 do not neglect other grape varieties, dedicating equal attention and dedication to each.

The magic unfolds in the cellar of Notaresco, where five wine labels with character take shape, including three prestigious Abruzzo DOCs: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, along with two IGTs, Pecorino and Passerina. These wines embody the authentic Italian taste, shaped by passion, attention to detail, and the family tradition that beats in the pulsating heart of Santone Vini.
