Winery Tour and Tasting in Abruzzo

In the narrow territory of the village, which has always been devoted to viticulture and more generally to cultivation, one of the world's smallest Appellations of Controlled Origin has been created: the Villamagna Doc. Our philosophy stems from tradition, which has handed down to us the cultivation of roses in vineyards as a practice used since ancient times. The rose, an extremely sensitive plant, placed at the beginning of the rows, controls the health of the vine and helps the winemaker to monitor and protect the vineyard, detecting any pathologies and facilitating rapid intervention. The typicality of our production lies in the craftsmanship of each step. In fact, each bottle is individually numbered and prepared by hand until the dried rose is placed. You will visit the vineyards and olive groves and then return to the winery to the tasting of 3 Labels accompanied of the tasting of our oil with homemade bread

Abruzzo wine tasting & winery visit

I'm a native of Teramo, one of the most important wine areas in Abruzzo. I'm a wine & food lover and I'm increasing my culture and knowledge attending a 3y Sommelier course at the Italian Sommelier Federation (FIS). On all the FIS events, I'm able to invite my guest to join exclusive tastings, as well as having personal connections with most of the wineries in Abruzzo, allowing me to have a better treatment for our guests. As well as being an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region, I found Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my colleague & friend Alberto, we run together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and the same passion for Abruzzo and our wines. 1 of 5* reviews Marino was really knowledgeable, super friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a nice time. We can't recommend him highly enough.
