Here, at \u003cstrong\u003e400 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, we find Luca and Alfonso. Luca was inspired to work with wine after spending a vintage with fellow Winemakers Club producer \u003cstrong\u003eFrancesco Guccione\u003c\/strong\u003e in Sicily. He partnered with Alfonso, who has been farming in the region for many years and brings with him a great knowledge of the \u003cstrong\u003eterroir, local varieties and regional wine styles\u003c\/strong\u003e. The project was started from scratch, sourcing a large portion of their vines from cuttings taken from \u003cstrong\u003eEmidio Pepe’s old vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eTrebbiano and Montepulciano\u003c\/strong\u003e were planted initially with \u003cstrong\u003ePecorino\u003c\/strong\u003e following more recently. In and around the vineyards, they also have \u003cstrong\u003eolive groves, ancient grains and apiaries\u003c\/strong\u003e, aiming to maintain a balance of biodiversity while producing their own \u003cstrong\u003epasta and honey\u003c\/strong\u003e. 2020 and 2021 saw the construction of a new winery for Luca and Alfonso. As a result, there is now room for a few \u003cstrong\u003etonneaux\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003econcrete tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e planned for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"caprera-pecorino-dabruzzo-2024","title":"Caprera Pecorino d'Abruzzo 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(96, 7, 18);\"\u003eSome wines listed online are held separately from our bar stock.
