Those who know Contesa know that it is not a winery like all the others, it is the direct testimony of the indissoluble bond that ties the life of our family to the vines that an extraordinarily generous land has given us. An exciting story, in which the stubborn refusal of compromises has also led us to difficult choices and painful separations, but has given us infinite gratifications thanks to the wisdom of men and women who generation after generation have stubbornly guarded the idea of a winemaking culture made of integrity, coherence and pride in one's roots.
Nestled along the fertile and lush lands of a territory that has always been suited to viticulture like Collecorvino, our 50 hectares of vineyards among the Pescara hills are an invaluable heritage that the land has given us so that we could take care of them with all the dedication, balance and wisdom we are capable of. We have always been winemakers and oenologists, so for us they represent something that goes far beyond the technical aspects, but we understand the importance of describing their excellent characteristics: south-east exposure with considerable temperature range between day and night, ideal seasonality, soils at 250 meters above sea level with a predominantly clayey composition with a small percentage of limestone, integrated production that favors balance and protection of the land over plant protection products.
