Feudo Antico

Feudo Antico was created in Tullum on a small plot of land in the heart of Abruzzo – Italy’s smallest DOP and the first designation of its kind in the region.

Starting with the 2013 vintage, all wines are certified by Magis – the most advanced project for the sustainability of wine production in Italy. Currently, the 15ha are cultivated using only native varieties and with limited yields to ensure that quality is maintained. This approach is continued in the winery, where vinification includes no wood whatsoever and is restricted to amphora, concrete and glass, guaranteeing the purity of the fruit and its flavours.

Viticulture

In 2013, during the preparation of the soil for the first replanting of Pecorino, the ruins of a Roman villa rustica came to light. Since then, Feudo Antico has remained committed to protecting and reviving the area. They have identified the land intended for vineyards by carefully considering its climatic location and the best production prospects, combined with carefully selected grape varieties with a particular focus on Pecorina and Passerina, as well as in Montepulciano vineyards in the Tullum area.

Winemaking

Only organic or low environmental impact winemaking techniques are used. Wines are vinified in stainless steel and matured in glass-concrete containers and bottled in the cellar. Only wild fermentation is used for the organic wines, with minimal processing and no filtering. Grape crushing, soft pressing of the crushed grapes and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
