informations about producer

Cantina Colonnella, a wine cooperative from the town of Colonnella, in the province of Teramo, in the region of Abruzzo. It was established in 1971. Today, the estate has more than 300 hectares of vineyards and produces 35 000 hectoliters of wine. The vineyards of cooperative members spread out over picturesque and sunny hills of Val Vibrata in the northern part of the region. The town of Colonnella is characterized by the smallest amount of rains in the whole province. Moreover, thanks to a perfect location of vineyards and good microclimate, the vines grown here give ripe grapes transformed carefully into wine. The cooperative makes traditional local wines, mainly from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape. The best zone of this red wine, liked and popular all over the world, is located in the surroundings of Teramo. The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane appellation was granted DOCG in 2003. The range of our producer comprises an excellent Riserva, exactly from the DOCG zone.

Other wines are white varieties: Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, Pecorino, native Passerina, and a rosé, Cerasuolo, very good wine of Montepulciano. Like every well-established cooperative invests big sums in technical facilities and maintains an appropriate balance between tradition and innovation. Hospitality and warmth of Cantina staff, of course, speak well for all cooperative members. It is probably thanks to a place where they work and live, a charming, sunny corner of Southern Italy amid olive groves, situated between the sea and the mountains.
