Collefrisio Pinot Grigio Terre di Chieti IGT

Collefrisio is a winery managed by two young representatives of the third generation of winemakers. 35 hectares of land, divided into three vineyards, are located amidst picturesque landscapes on the hills of the Abruzzo region. The company's philosophy is based on the principle of "organic viticulture," and the love for the land and ideal climatic conditions — sea breezes and proximity to the mountains — allow for the creation of truly beautiful wines with a warm, expressive character. The Collefrisio estate consists of three vineyards. The first — Tenuta Valle del Moro, with a total area of 12 hectares, is located in the Moro Valley. Here, on well-drained stony and limestone soils, Montepulciano and Trebbiano grapes are grown. There is also a magnificent estate, the company's new wine cellars, and a terrace overlooking the valley that stretches from the Majella mountain range to the coast. The second vineyard — Tenuta Morrecine — also has an area of 12 hectares on rocky soil between the hills of Ortona and Tollo, with a view of the sea, where the same grape varieties are grown. The third vineyard — Tenuta Giuliano Teatino, with a total area of 11 hectares, grows on the slopes of the Majella mountain range, closer to the Venna river valley. On soils consisting of red clay, Montepulciano and Pecorino grapes are cultivated. Adhering to organic farming, the company does not use chemical products. The harvest begins only when the berries are fully ripe. Cold maceration, strict temperature control during fermentation, and prolonged aging in cellars allow for excellent results, delighting connoisseurs of elegant drinks with well-balanced, rich, and energetic white and red wines. Collefrisio takes great care and responsibility towards the culture of winemaking, the cultivated grapes, and the production process, skillfully combining high standards of quality with large production volumes. Special attention is paid to the winery's cellars, which are completely built underground, beneath the uprooted vineyard. This allows for low temperatures, and to maintain the balance of temperature and humidity, some sections of the cellars are additionally equipped with air conditioning. A special research laboratory, magnificent wine cellars, and a well-established logistics and shipping system worldwide are the main components of the company's success and recognition among demanding consumers and wine experts. For true gourmets and wine lovers, a magnificent tasting room is open, where guests are always warmly welcomed.
