The vineyard is the heart of everything

It makes us damn and rejoice, but it is in there that we spend most of our time.

We try to accommodate her, to bring out her personality, without unnecessary stress.

The vineyard is the heart of everything
Andrea Felici

For generations we have been taking care of our vineyards with all the love in the world

We try to make real wines, which tell about our splendid land and also a little bit of us, of our passion and stubbornness that led us to make many sacrifices and some sacrifices in order to go forward to try to always get the best out of ours. ten hectares of vineyards.
It seems that we are finally succeeding. Critics speak well of us and our wines are present in many important restaurants.
But the road is still long, we know. And for this reason we continue to take a small step forward every year, because it is Verdicchio, the largest white grape in the world, which imposes it on us.

The vineyard is the heart of everything.

We harvest strictly by hand, in small boxes, and we vinify within a few hours.
We only produce two wines: the Cantico della Figura is a Cru and comes from the vineyard of the same name, while the Cuvée Andrea Felici is the blend of the different vineyards of the company.
High quality wines with characteristics of longevity, typicality and personality, which bring the consumer to sensory attention and reflection, repaying him not only with pleasure, but also with emotion.
Splendid wines to drink immediately, but equally extraordinary if opened after a few years, when the evolutionary path has reached its peak.

Verdicchio, the King of Whites, Red disguised as White

His origins are lost over the centuries, but then converge in the only land where he always manages to give his best.

It is a strong, vigorous vine with a rather late ripening, a lover of well-exposed hilly positions and clayey-calcareous soils.

It has an excellent ability to synthesize sugar and a good maintenance of acidity, even in very hot years, thanks to the progress of maturation, which is always slow and progressive. It is recognizable as few, with its green tones and at times almost brackish aromas, with powerful mineral notes and its almond base, with a rare ability to sustain long aging in the bottle with great results.

Verdicchio knows how to give its best only in the Marche region, between the Adriatic and the Apennines, in valleys that are sometimes narrow, sometimes sweet, always traversed by air currents, at even considerable heights above the sea, with extraordinary temperature ranges.

The territory of Apiro represents its maximum expression, on a hill at the foot of Monte San Vicino (1479 m), at an altitude of 516 m / slm, with just over 1500 souls.
The panorama is magnificent, with a green valley with very sloping banks, covered with splendid patches of wood and vineyards, chiseled by the high peaks of the Gran Sasso and Maiella that stand out towards the horizon, to the south, and from the summit of Monte Catria , in the north.The climate is warm and temperate with significant rainfall throughout the year.

The average temperature is about 13 degrees and the average annual rainfall is 860 ml. with continuous air currents all year round and powerful summer and autumn thermal excursions.
