Passion for wines at Villa Prandone
The Villa Prandone winery was founded in the 1960s by Marino and his father, Amilcare. The third generation is currently at the helm. The de Angelis brothers were born in the vineyards and were born into winemaking. They grew up with a love and passion for the land and its wines. They own a total of approximately 50 hectares of vineyards, focusing on indigenous grapes such as Pecorino, Passerina, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese. The hilly landscape enjoys the easterly Adriatic breeze, creating a climate very favorable for grape cultivation. The Pecorino grapes also benefit from the pleasant temperature fluctuations and can ripen optimally.
The grapes are carefully and selectively harvested, with the quality of the grapes being assessed immediately. After harvest, the grapes are taken directly to the winery, where they are gently pressed and briefly macerated on the skins. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and barriques. After several months, the wine is bottled and matured in the bottle for another 2 to 4 months.
