'Abbondanza’ is a term used in Abruzzo as a celebration, greeting, or even a way to wish someone good luck. In that spirit, Abbondanza wines are made for a good time, right outside the dreamy seaside town of Pescana. Salty ocean air and warm weather provide the perfect setting for some of the most delightfully easy-drinking wines you’ll ever meet. In terms of sustainability, these folks are the real deal - grapes are cultivated without any irrigation, pesticides or herbicides and they utilize 100% renewable wind energy.

The vineyards are located in the hills of Loreto Aprutino, a beautiful hamlet of uncontained nature neslted between the Gran Sasso (national park of Abruzzo) and the pristine Adriatic Sea and seaside town of Pescara. The vineyard elevation is 250 and 350 meters above sea level. They are made up of mostly clay soils with a large presence of limestone and sand. The area is quite wild, with unspoiled and uncontained nature brimming with vines, forests, fields of ancient grains, and groves of olive trees. Here Montepulciano thrives, benefitting from the vineyards’ prime location between the cooling slopes of massif Gran Sasso and the gentle coastal breeze of the Adriatic. Loreto Aprutino is THE terroir for Montepulciano, boasting the home of the iconic wines of Valentini. The limestone presence in the soil, the gentle slopes at high elevation, and the influence of the Adriatic 20km away create wines of beautiful density, spice and fleshy black fruit.
