Montepulciano d’Abruzzo “Riserva A Marianna” D.O.C
I appreciate the nickname “A Marianna” given to the Riserva of the Riserva. Indeed, the “traditional” Montepulciano from the estate is already a Riserva. For “A Marianna,” the wine rests in the cellar for an additional five years compared to the four already dedicated to its younger sibling. The result is a simply stratospheric wine, endowed with incredible power and complexity. A true rarity.

Praesidium
Arriving in Prezza, one wonders if in this small village lost in the mountains of Abruzzo, there could be a cellar. Indeed, the village of Prezza, with its very narrow streets and truly difficult access, seems to indicate that the GPS has misled us and that Preasidium must be elsewhere. However, Antonia and Ottaviano will signal that you have indeed arrived. Preasidium is the only cellar in Prezza, which in Latin is called Preasidium (hence the name of the cellar).
The adventure began in 1988 with Enzo and Lucia, Antonia and Ottaviano’s parents, with the aim of producing wines reflecting the very particular terroir of this part of Abruzzo. The watchwords at Preasidium are typicality and patience. Indeed, the reds do not come out before a minimum rest of 4 years, and all the wines are produced with the utmost respect for the terroir and the wine, without any additives, except for a micro-micro-dose of sulfur at bottling.
