Masciarelli Tenute Agricole

The Masciarelli Agricultural Estates were established in 1981 by the entrepreneurial intuition of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbolic figure on the Italian wine scene who is also credited with the establishment of modern Abruzzi wine production. The beating heart of the winery is San Martino sulla Marrucina, in the province of Chieti, and it has its own vineyards and olive groves in the four provinces of Abruzzo. 7 product lines make up the wine production: Villa Gemma, Iskra, Marina Cvetic, Castello di Semivicoli, Gianni Masciarelli, Linea Classica and La Botte di Gianni. After lengthy conservative restoration work, the Masciarelli company inaugurated Castello di Semivicoli, a 17th-century baronial palace that is now a relais de charme amidst the vineyards and the driving force behind wine tourism in the area. The Gianni Masciarelli line, desired by Marina Cvetic as a tribute to her professional and life companion, sees the light from the three vineyards of Remartello, Passo Cordone and Cocciapazza near Loreto Aprutino (Pescara), with lively, fruity wines designed for the restaurant industry, which best express the soul of Abruzzo. The company's second wine cellar is also located here, where the grapes are processed at 0 km, maintaining very high quality standards.
