The Farm
After having a good look around Chieti and its places of interest, at the beginning of the old road leading to Guardiagrele, you come to Nanni Elmo’s farm, a luxuriant green paradise where you leave the cares of the city behind you. The 30 hectares of vineyard, stretching away down the gentle slopes as far as the eye can see, enjoy an excellent exposure to sunlight. The soil is calcareous, and the land lie at around 300 meters above sea level, so that the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and Montepulciano grapes acquire unique caracteristics wich allow them to yeld deliciously memorable wines. All the stages of production are carefully looked after, from harvesting to fermenting, decanting and bottling. The proprietors, whose family have been wine-producers for three generations, started to bottle the best of their product - around 3400 hectolitres per year - in the early eighties. They now produce, amongst other products, the Torre de’ Bianchi and Nanni Calvino lines as well as the classic DOCs from Abruzzo: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Cerasuolo. The wines are today on tables of most european restaurants.
