Founded in 2011, the Chieti Teramo DOP wine region has focused on biodynamic viticulture, gaining many fans around the world. The Demeter recognition of the young winery has only been available since 2014.

It depends on the time

Pietramore has 2,000 - 3,000 vines per hectare. Most of them are around 40 years old. The harvest is done by hand.

The relationship between the plants and the territory is of great importance at Pietramore. Here the wine is given the time it needs in all phases of its cultivation. Classic vines of the region are pressed - for example Peccorino, Passerina and Trebbiano for the white wines, Montepulciano and Cerasuolo for the red ones.

Currently 150,000 bottles are filled on the winery. The aim of the quality work is to make each bottle a unique product that is in harmony with the respective soil, climate and year. This creates the unmistakable pleasure of regional winegrowing in Abruzzo.

Special features of the wine-growing region

The region between the Adriatic Sea and the Maiella Mountains is characterized by a distinctive climate characterized by warm and cool air currents is embossed. The soil quality in the Teramo region is characterized by a clear dominance of limestone. In Chieti, on the other hand, clay is predominant.

In addition, the vines, which grow on gentle hills at an altitude of 300 - 450 m, are aged without wood, which gives part of the very special taste. The nearby sea also contributes to the distinctive aromas of the wine with its breezes.

The vineyards were leased until 2011. Immediately after the return, they were converted to the Demeter guidelines.
