All of the vineyards of Buccicatino Vini Bio are located on the hilly terrain of Abruzzo, blessed with sunshine and moist breezes of the Adriatic Sea. Umberto Buccicatino reinvigorated the family vineyards in 1993 by modernising the cellar and using organic techniques to produce critically acclaimed wines. The grapes are harvested by hand with the utmost care to ensure consistency in quality and the authentic taste of Abruzzo’s traditional wines.

“During one of my trips to Central Italy, I remember how, under a porch caressed by the soft sea breeze, Umberto explained to me how he was reinvigorating the vineyards and modernising the cellar, whilst all the time not losing sight of his obsession: his wines had to taste of the land and sea of Abruzzo!”
