3 Bottles of Passerina IGT Wine - Santone Vini

Santone Vini are the result of a story of passion, dedication, and tradition closely tied to Tito Gabriele Santone. This man, deeply rooted in farming, has worked in the vineyards of Abruzzo since a young age, cultivating a passion for wine that led him to establish Santone Vini in 2013. This journey has involved sacrifices but has also led to continuous successes and improvements.

Tito Santone's perseverance has led to the discovery of the most promising vineyard lands through investments in seemingly challenging areas.

Santone Vini dedicates meticulous attention to producing high-quality wines, starting from the cultivation of the vineyards, skillfully blending tradition and technological innovation.

In the present day, the preservation of family tradition is an essential element in the evolution of Santone Vini's story, with Tito's three sons actively involved in managing the company. With an extensive expanse of over 180 hectares of vineyards stretching between the Gran Sasso and the Adriatic Sea, Santone primarily focuses on cultivating Montepulciano d'Abruzzo but also takes great care in nurturing other varieties. The grapes are processed at the Notaresco cellar, where five distinct labels are produced, including three Abruzzo DOCs: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, as well as two IGTs, Pecorino and Passerina. These wines embody the essence of authentic Italian taste, shaped by the passion, dedication, and family tradition that form the beating heart of Santone Vini.
