The Ciavolichs were wool merchants from Bulgaria who built the family’s first cellar in 1853, one of the oldest wine making structures in Abruzzo. Chiara Chiavolich, the current generation owner, comes from a family of strong women. She strives to keep agricultural, wine and historical heritage intact in order to pass it on to future generations through sustainability. Ciavolich wines are made with both contemporary and ancient vinification techniques, respectful of the original variety and territory producing wines that are straightforward, clean and with deep spirit.
The Aries is made with 100% Pecorino. These grapes come from one hectare of pergola abruzzese planted in 2000 on the Ciavolich’s Pianella estate and from one hectare of cordon-double guyot in Loreto Aprutino planted in 2011. The grapes are hand harvested at dawn and carried directly to the winery in small baskets where they are then pressed softly and fermented in stainless under controlled temperature. Once fermentation ends, a small part of the wine is moved into 2009 French oak tonneaux for three months. Then the wines are reunited and bottled and continue aging for about two months.

This wine is made with 100% Montepulciano – hand harvested in October, destemmed and crushed, then fermented in stainless under controlled temperature. Aged in stainless for almost a year then six months in the bottle.
These Montepulciano vineyards are located in Pianella, next to a small natural lake. The proximity to the lake allows the roots of the vines to stay humid even during the dry season. This freshness is found in the wine as it is aged in stainless to preserve this natural characteristic.

Ghëddo is committed to sustainable farming with no use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, they cultivate only three hectares in 3 different vineyards which allows for meticulous work in the vineyard and extreme cleanliness in the cellar producing wines that faithfully express the vintage in all its aspects.
This wine is made with 100% Barbera.
FROM THE VINTNER:
“Our Barbera comes from a friend’s vineyards in Monforte d’Alba who shares our philosophy and lets us care for the grapes throughout the growing season. Barbera needs hot and semi-dry summers to perform well and good canopy cleaning to avoid problems while ripening. As the grapes begin to ripen, excess clusters are cut. The grapes are then hand harvested early October in cases of 20 kg each. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed without crushing and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 15-25 days. We focus on extracting the few tannins that Barbera has without losing color and aromatics. Following malolactic fermentation the wine ages for 4 months in oak cask and 8 months in concrete. It is then bottled between October and January.”

This wine is made with 100% Nebbiolo.
FROM THE VINTNER:
” We selected the top part of Berri vineyard in La Morra to produce our Barolo. A south-west exposed slope with limestone and silt Miocene soil. The vigour of the plants is limited by the presence of water that is never in excess. Hot summer days are mitigated by fresh streams that comes from the Alps and wind that blows in La Morra’s western face. This vineyard is the last to bud and the last to ripen. The canopy in managed with extreme care, thinning the plant to 6-7 bunches each. Harvest is normally around the 20th of October choosing only the best bunches. The fruit is typical of “La Morra” character: elegant nose and fine tannins in the mouth. The grapes are destemmed and transferred into the tank. The maceration is a challenging moment in which we try to pull out good tannins, aromatics and color without over-extracting. Soft pump overs are employed many times per day. After fermentation a delicate skin contact occurs with the submerged cap. The malolactic fermentation normally happens in November and then the wine is aged in big oak casks for 24 months. In the casks, micro-oxygenation is carried by the pores of the wood. This helps the tannins polymerize that results in rounding out the wine. We try to transfer the wine as little as possible to avoid unnecessary stress and bottle after at least 24 months of aging.“
