The WineryDe Antoniis
Between the winery and our home, all winemaking operations take place.TraditionThe Winery
From the harvest, which is done at full ripeness and strictly hand-picked to preserve the integrity of the grapes. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, and subjected to fermentation with long maceration of the skins. This is followed by malolactic conversion and aging in French oak barriques and tonneaux. Our repertoire consists of X wines that together tell the story of the territory and our corporate philosophy, nature and its cyclicity. To these, we add a selection of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, hand-picked and cold-pressed in a mill a few kilometers from our winery.
Faithful to the Land
For over two centuries, our family has been dedicated to the cultivation of vines and olives; even today, centuries-old plants, true monuments of nature, testify to this ancient cultivation activity in a territory where the happy combination of the natural quality of the land and the patient and intelligent intervention of humans has manifested to the highest degree. In 2001, Adele De Antoniis and her husband Giuseppe Mattei, with renewed passion, began an intense effort to arrange the olive grove and replant the vineyard, which led to the creation of the new winery with an attached sales point.
The De Antoniis estate extends over gentle rolling hills between Bellante and Sant’Omero, a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, in a favorable panoramic position that offers a grand view, from the Gemelli Mountains and the Laga Mountains to the Gran Sasso d’Italia range.
My wines avoid all manipulative temptations, preserving their typicity and strongly conveying the uniqueness of my land. Adele De Antoniis
Farmer by passion
Going through the fields and attending to the smallest details requires time and sacrifice. De Antoniis aims to return to the land the value it deserves through daily hard work and care in the vineyards and olive groves. The winery has become our home. The wine expresses the feeling, the love, transferring from the winemakers to our table, from the grape to the bottle. “Wines for Love” is our mission, accompanying the passion for work, attachment to nature, and respect for the seasons. This is why the harvest brings joy and desire, that incomparable pleasure of pouring and savoring a glass of wine.
