Three generations of the Petrini family have made wine in Spoltore, Abruzzo, with increasing seriousness about organic production, carbon neutrality, and non-intervention in the grape's natural character. Their five wines — from the sea-breeze Pecorino Portami al Mare to the Montepulciano Rosaria, Le Mie Abitudini, the rosé Senza Alibi, and the sparkling Ideale — are shaped by the strong Adriatic breezes that define this coastal Abruzzo terroir. Certified organic. Carbon neutral. Available through UniqueWines.
The estate of Azienda Vinicola Petrini in Spoltore — nestled between the provinces of Pescara and Chieti — is fully carbon neutral and organic, with certifications that speak of a strong investment, as third-generation winemakers, in the future of healthy and wealthy wine production. Their constant goal is to avoid any alteration of the grape's natural structure and characteristics, starting from a most careful selection of prime materials and obtaining a production process that interferes as little as possible with the wine's natural identity.
The ICEA certification institute ensures that Petrini grapes are at the top of the organic gamma within the Italian wine sector — a certification of their whole agricultural and productive system. The estate handpicks and selects each and every grape, obtaining wines of unique taste and persistence. Elegant in their making, typical of an estate that sits in the strong sea breeze zone between Pescara and Chieti, the wines carry a distinctive marine mineral character that defines Abruzzo's coastal viticulture.
PORTAMI AL MARE (Bring Me by the Sea) is a 100% Pecorino white — an excellence of the Abruzzo region combining elegance and structure from an intensely rich grape shaped by the strong sea breeze. The estate strongly invests in oenological studies and research, and the character and goodness of their wines reflect that commitment to paramount quality.
ROSARIA is a 100% Montepulciano red of significant olfactory impact — ruby red with intense colour, fruity scents of unique complexity, with flowers and spices in the background. Flavours at tasting are persistent and elegant, with a very solid structured body.
LE MIE ABITUDINI (My Habits) is a 100% Montepulciano expressing the excellent harmony and full-bodied persistence of tannins of the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in purity. Good alcohol matching soft tannins creates a wine of distinct and rich personality that identifies all wine productions of the area.
SENZA ALIBI (No Alibi) is a 100% Montepulciano rosé of strong personality and gentle character — delicate yet persistent aromatic expression and a velvet impression at tasting. At the top of the rosé charts in terms of organoleptic richness, best served chilled.
IDEALE (No Alibi Sparkling) is a fine and elegant Brut sparkling white from Pecorino, Chardonnay, and Montepulciano — offering citrus scents with the typical aromatic notes of bread and sweets, vivacious and rich in sapidity, with good structure and persistent elegant taste and backtaste. Petrini is available through UniqueWines.
