Valle Reale
Words of Giulia Migliorati
It started in 1999, founded by our owner Leonardo Pizzolo. He came here from Verona, so he’s from the north of Italy, and he came down here to found his own winery from an ancient vineyard that his family had already owned for a few years. He had this vineyard and he wanted to start his own business. So, he did this first vineyard in the year 2000, and by always following a path of quality and respect for terroir and organic and biodynamic viticulture and wild yeast. So, of course, during these years we see a development in the winery and in the quality of our products and in our philosophy. But, always in the respect of quality and terroir, which is for sure our main focus, forever.
We only work with native grapes; Trebbiano for white wine and Montepulciano for red and rosé wine. And since the year 2007, only with spontaneous fermentation. So, all our wines are fermented with wild yeast. So we produce a lot of single vineyard wines, and only from one parcel, then we harvest the parcel all together, and from that parcel we produce only one wine, that carries the name of the parcel. For example, the name of the parcel is named after a location, the name of that place, and the wine will have the same name.

Valle Reale Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022
The organic Montepulciano grapes that produce this wine are sourced from two separate vineyards: Popoli and Capestrano. Bright ruby-red in color, this youthful red offers explosive aromas of blueberries, cherries, licorice, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with plentiful acidity and a pleasant finish.
