Tenuta De Sterlich Colli Aprutini Pecorino 2021

In 1798, Marquis Rinaldo De Sterlich, ancestor of Diego De Sterlich, whose estate today keeps his memory alive, acquired the fruit of a huge liquidation of the patrimony of the Acquaviva Dukes, ordered by the Kingdom of Naples. This imposing plot of land – including the current territory of Mosciano Sant’Angelo, Selva dei Colli and Piane Tordino – at Marquis Rinaldo’s behest was destined for the cultivation of vineyards. Hills now devoted to viticulture, as harsh as they are generous, extending as far as the eye can see and persistently retaining their memory. After more than two centuries since that noble acquisition, in 2017 we took over the historic vineyard from an old Teramo family, and went back to producing the great autochthonous Abruzzo wines. The mystery and creative identity of these places has today been handed down by the estate: our personal idea of winemaking is realized through the vision of an ideal bridge between land, cultural heritage, memory and wine. It is on this canvas, a fabric of intangible relationships and contaminations, that we have grafted the urgency of enhancing the regional agricultural heritage and the desire to make the most authentic fruit of the Abruzzo region international, an expression of the territory and its people.
