Situated in the heart of Abruzzo, Ortona is home to a number of Italy’s iconic wines and it boasts some of the oldest vineyard soils in the world. Here is where the holding Grossi is situated. Since 2010 Andrea Grossi, the owner of the company, began this journey by purchasing the products of Abruzzo, where uncontaminated nature allows grapes and vineyards to grow naturally.
In the heart of Abruzzo there is a land of exclusive production, absolutely the greenest hills in Italy, where vineyards reign: Ortona. This is where the history of Grossi brand wines was born. Since 2010 Andrea Grossi, now owner of the company based in Tagliacozzo, has undertaken this journey by purchasing the best Abruzzo wines, undisputed figures of Made in Italy. The care of the vineyards is absolute, from green pruning to careful interventions on the land to guarantee maximum quality. Thanks to our careful selections and modern technologies, the grapes become wine according to the knowledge of science and tradition. The oenologist continuously supervises all winemaking processes, carrying out meticulous quality controls. The agronomist makes all his knowledge available to give the bunches life and structure.
The Vineyards.
The harvest is a difficult operation to plan, especially when the ripening times are different in the various vineyards for reasons related to the different altitudes, exposures and types of soil. The producer observes the progress of ripening by sampling the grapes. Knowing the evolution of the phenolic substances of the various vines helps us to manage their potential in the best way during winemaking. The grape harvest period goes from the end of September to mid-October.
Barrique.
The typical 225-liter French oak barrels, allows the wine to concemtrate its flavour and aroma compounds whilst oxygen is allowed to pass through the barrel and act as a softening agent upon the wine’s tannins, refining and changing slowly all its organoleptic structure, reaching the peak of pleasure.
The Steel.
The grapes of each vineyard are vinified separately in steel tanks with long maceration characterized by contact with the must at controlled temperatures. Vinification is an extremely important phase, giving color, tannins and aromas. The cleaning of the equipment avoids alterations of the product and helps us to guarantee the maximum hygienic and qualitative safety.
The Winemakers.
The winemaker takes care of the entire production process, from the planting of the vine to the ripening of the grapes, choosing the harvesting period and supervising the vinification phases up to the filling in, all in order to guarantee, albeit at different levels, the increasing quality of the product.
