ABRUZZO
Valle Reale is located in the green heart of Abruzzo and marks the geographical boundary of the Gran Sasso Mountain, Monti della Laga National Park and the Majella National Park. The microclimate here has mountainous traits and is connoted by an element capable of making a crucial impact on the cultivation of the grapes: thanks to the considerable temperature changes between day and night during both in summer and winter months, this land produces extremely high quality grapes and conserve their fragrance and freshness during the very slow ripening phase.The vineyards are subdivided into parcels in two different adjacent towns: Popoli and Capestrano, both organic and biodynamic certified. Each parcels are marked by a specific Cru and identified by names linked to the history of these places. Valle Reale conducts all the vinifications with a spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeats, trying not to contaminate the natural process of transforming the grapes into wine, leaving to the environment the task of establishing the organoleptic profile of their wines. Each bottle represents a year of hard work, worries and decisions made to face the adversities of the year, with the aim of reaching, only when possible, the maturity necessary to produce a great wine. When it is not posisbile to obtain, the wine is not produced in that vintage. We believe that the Valle Reale can be a different expression of Montepulciano and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo.

The grapes of Valle Reale Montepulciano d’Abruzzo comes from both our vineyards in Popoli and in Capestrano. These two areas have different climatic profiles, since the valley of Ofena – Capestrano is particularly warm during summers in comparison to Popoli. In both pedoclimatic conditions, the Montepulciano matures really slowly and maintains the good acidity and perfumes of small red fruits. The spontaneous fermentation applied to different selections of grapes has allowed us to obtain the uniqueness of our wines, something that only a mountain area is able to express.

Rosé wine
Demeter certified
Biodinamic
The Sant'Eusanio vineyard is undoubtedly the most representative part of the terroir of altitude in Valle Reale. In the vintage 2011 we decided that our Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo cru was ready to born. Despite the small amount of grapes available ,we make two separate vinifications: the first in the tradition of an important Cerasuolo and the second in the subversive austerity of the Montepulciano Sant'Eusanio. In this verrsion called cersuolo d'abruzzo “giorno” which means “day”, the grapes are harvested in the late morning and vinified in rosé with a 3 hour aceration in contact with the skins. Alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously and without thermal control, making yeasts in the wood treasure.

The Valle Reale Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a vintage wine, the result of the careful selection of the vinifications of dfferent parcel. The grapes of the Valle Reale Trebbiano d’Abruzzo comes from both our vineyards in Popoli and Capestrano.The constant ventilation and the lightness of the soils guarantees the healthiness of both areas. The wide temperature ranges characterizing the entire maturation period determine complexity of perfumes and high acidity levels. We have selected the yeasts from 5 different points of our vineyards, and vinified a portion of the grapes without pressing and destemming or temperature controlling. This wine is therefore the result of a mix of 5 different vinifications.

The Vigneto di Popoli Trebbiano is small parcel planted in 2007 from the Trebbiano of the Capestrano vineyard. The vegetation, and so the yeasts, is the typical one of the Maiella mountain area, which is still pure and clean thanks to the laws protecting the healthiness of the water source flowing right under the vineyard. Vigneto di Popoli seems to be the “Trebbiano of the cold”. For some aspects, this wine appears to be exceptional for its high acidity levels, citrus hints, minerality, freshness, and sapidity and is certainly the most representative white of the company because it fully describes the environment where the grape are ripen.
