Trio of Abruzzo 3 Bottles (Cerasuolo DOC, Organic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, Merlot IGT) Wine - Santone Vini

The Santone Vini are the result of a story of passion, dedication, and tradition, closely linked to Tito Gabriele Santone. This man with deep agricultural roots has been working in the vineyards of Abruzzo since he was young, 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 determination allowed him to discover the most promising vineyard lands, investing in seemingly challenging areas.

Santone Vini is committed to producing wine with a focus on quality from the vineyard itself, combining tradition and technological innovation.

Today, family continuity is an essential part of the Santone Vini story, with Tito's three sons actively involved in the company. With over 180 hectares of vineyards located between the Gran Sasso and the Adriatic Sea, Santone primarily cultivates Montepulciano d'Abruzzo but also pays attention to other varieties. The grapes are processed at the Notaresco facility, where five labels of great character are produced, including three Abruzzo DOCs: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, as well as two IGTs, Pecorino and Passerina. These wines represent the essence of Italian taste, thanks to the passion, commitment, and family continuity that characterize Santone Vini.
