From travel around the world to natural wines: Jacopo Fiore and the Abruzzo avant-garde

The company is located in Controguerra, on the Teramane Hills, a border town between Abruzzo and Marche, 300 meters above sea level, a few kilometers as the crow flies from the Adriatic coast, but with the Gran Sasso and the Gemelli Mountains well in seen behind him. The influence of the sea and the rigidity of the mountain currents create the ideal climate for the ripening of the typical grapes of their region: Trebbiano, Malvasia, Passerina and Pecorino, as well as obviously the undisputed king of Abruzzo, Montepulciano. The vineyards grow on clayey-limestone soil, the company has been organically managed since the early 1980s, when the main activity was the cultivation of ancient cereals and olive groves. The Agriturismo was also born in 1994, in 2000 the cellar was built

and the first bottles began to be produced, in addition to the purchase of an oil mill and a small mill to directly transform all the agricultural production independently. Since 2014, Jacopo, now thirty years old, returns home and concentrates on cultivating the vineyard and refining cellar practices, with the aim of improving its general quality through an increasingly natural approach. Today all wines are spontaneously fermented, they are not filtered or clarified, only a slight addition of sulphites at bottling. The search for purity and elegance, as well as the freshness of the fruit and drink in the basic line, depth and structure for the most important line, distinguish Jacopo’s research.
