Mala Vitae

Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOCG Colline Teramane

A wine born high in the hills, where the Colline Teramane open to the breath of the Adriatic Sea and the stillness of the Gran Sasso massif.
The old pergolas, bent by time but never tamed, offer clusters as dark as deep thoughts.
Mala Vitae is not a name of condemnation, but of defiance: the redemption of an ancient form, the pergola abruzzese, elevated into an instrument of precision.
An intense red, direct in its gaze, telling the rugged beauty of a true land, without masks.
A wine that takes no shortcuts - only truth, in time and in the glass.

Tenuta Fosso
del Gallo

An estate set within a terroir ideally suited to quality viticulture. The hillside vineyards, at elevations between 150 and 250 m above sea level, benefit from Adriatic breezes and the cool winds of the Gran Sasso massif, encouraging the grapes to ripen slowly and harmoniously.

Superstitions

We are in the heart of the Aterno Valley, linked to the heights of the Gran Sasso massif by the Gorges of Popoli (also known as the Gorges of Tramonti), renowned for the powerful winds that sweep through the valley, creating pronounced temperature shifts that are invaluable to the grapes' aromatic quality.
