Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 'Fosso Cancelli' by Ciavolich was created in 2007 from the strong desire to create a wine of great craftsmanship and tradition.

Aged at least 3 years in bottle. It is powerful, full of character and extremely balanced, intense in color, red with slight garnet reflections, aromas of black cherry, undergrowth and resin and hints of jam and licorice.

Ciavolich is a family-run business that has been cultivating vineyards in Abruzzo for generations. The family’s history is very ancient. Wool merchants of Bulgarian origin, the Ciavolichs arrived in Italy during the 16th century and settled in the town of Miglianico. The first winery was created in 1853, to vinify the grapes from their own land. Over the generations, the estate has expanded especially in the wonderful area of Loreto Aprutino. Today the estate is managed by Chiara, who carries on the family tradition with passion and expertise. The core of the company has moved to Loreto Aprutino, in Contrada Salmacina, in one of the areas of Abruzzo most suited to viticulture, in a hilly area at 250 meters above sea level, a few kilometers from the Gran Sasso massif and the Calderone glacier, as well as from the Adriatic coast. The climate is mild and sunny, very bright and always windy, with significant temperature variations between day and night temperatures. The soils are clayey and silty in nature, with the presence of sand, very suitable for high-quality viticulture. In these favorable conditions, the vines bring to maturity perfectly healthy bunches, with very rich and intense aromas. The vines historically present in the area are grown between the rows, in particular Pecorino, Trebbiano and Montepulciano.
