Description

This boutique, modern winery is located in the hills of the Marche region, on the border with Abruzzo. The idea behind the structure was a building that fully respected the surrounding environment, surrounded by greenery but within easy reach of the city. Vineyards of Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Pecorino and Passerina grapes alternate with olive oil and arable land lying on hillsides exposed to the sea winds that blow up the valley of the Tronto River.

The property is on three levels:
• Lower ground floor (310 m²): accessible via an external staircase houses the winemaking room, where grapes are processed and wines are aged, a warehouse, barrique cellar, vinegar cellar, storage room, machine room, laboratory, office and an ante-bathroom leading to the locker room and bathroom for employees. An outdoor shed used for unloading grapes completes the floor.
• Ground floor (220 m²): accessible by an internal elevator, it includes the entrance hall, an office, the sales room, a large tasting room, and two toilets connected by an ante-bathroom that is also directly accessible from the tasting room. Accompanying the floor are a modern kitchen, a storage room, a pantry, and two loggias.
• Second floor (115 m²): connected to the ground floor by an internal staircase is still in builder's finish; rooms intended for hospitality are to be built on this floor. This level has a spacious terrace from which to admire a breathtaking panorama.
