Fattoria Teatina
Since the early sixties, the De Lutiis family has produced high-quality wines in the sunny hills of Abruzzo. Fattoria Teatina’s vines, growing in clay-rich soil, yield excellent grapes high in freshness and tannins. Pierluigi learned the "tendone" system, ensuring perfect ripening. Handcrafted processes and organic practices preserve the vineyard's health, creating unique and aromatic wines.
