Miracoli
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
The
Estate
The co-operative Madonna dei Miracoli of Casalbordino is
located at the foot of Galante’s Hill, a few meters from the
golden beaches of Casal Brdino Lido. It was founded in 1960,
thanks to the commitment of 42 small wine growers who shared
the same aim to develop the production of the well-known local
hills, where the vine has been carefully grown, with patience
and devotion, since ancient times. The winery was named in
honor of the Madonna who appeared in Casalbordino’s
countryside in 1527. Today the co-op counts 650 members.
The
Vineyard
They
farm about 1,400 hectares (3,458 acres) of vines.
Many different grape varieties are grown in the area:
Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, Sangiovese,
Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Vermentino. There,
moderating sea breezes from the Adriatic heighten the bouquet
of this naturally prolific and robust grapes. The soil is
calcareous and stony which is excellent for drainage.
