Good wine is made in the vineyard
Villamagna is a small medieval village in the center of Abruzzo: in the geographical heart of the nation and, more important, of grape growing and wine making in the region. The town’s calling to vine growing, (and, in general, to agriculture), is attested by its own name (in Latin “big farm”) and is of very ancient origin. It appears for the first time in a papal decree by Nicholas II of 1059.
Viticulture benefits from an exceptional geographical position, halfway between the coasts of the Adriatic Sea and the slopes of mount Majella, which generates severe temperature excursions between day and night. But the truly distinctive feature of this territory is the extreme diversity in soil composition, which includes clay (wines with complex aromas and longevity), lime, and marl (structured and persistent wines, with rich and deep color).
