This wine is straw yellow in colour with a clean, intense perfume of fresh yellow plums and medlar, along with floral aromas of orange blossom. Nicely balanced on the palate, it is lively, with peachy fruit and a citrus twist on the finish.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from selected sites around the town of Roseto degli Abruzzi, a cooler area at the foothills of the Apennines yet still close to the Adriatic coast. This combination allows the fruit to develop excellent aromatic complexity. The vineyards face west and south-west and are planted on calcareous clay soils. The vines are trained on the pergola system.

Upon arrival to the winery, the grapes were gently crushed and destemmed. The wine was then pressed prior to fermentation which took place in stainless steel tanks at 12°C in order to preserve the character of the fruit. The wine was then fined and filtered prior to bottling.

The Gran Sasso wines are part of the Fantini group, which was founded in 1994 by Valentino Sciotti with the aim of producing top-quality wine from Abruzzo. The project is named after the highest mountain of the Apennines that protects the regions vines from westerly weather systems. Combined with breezes from the nearby Adriatic Sea and soils ranging from clay marl, sand and limestone on the slopes, to gravel and alluvial stones on the plains, this singular microclimate is key to achieving remarkable quality fruit. The Gran Sasso wines are made by winemakers Rino Santeusanio and Francesco De Santis, with input from acclaimed consultant Alberto Antonini. Together, they create wines with a freshness and vivacity that sets them apart from many in this area.
