The Territory
The wine originates in the hills of Chieti, where calcareous-clay and sandy soils meet a breezy climate influenced by the Adriatic Sea and the Maiella massif.
These conditions favor complete ripening while maintaining balance and juiciness, while the minerality of the soil contributes to depth and the characteristic savory finish.
The Chiore Line
The name “Chiore,” from the ancient Abruzzese dialect, means “clear” and “bright” and evokes a path guided by light.
The project is inspired by the tratturi, the ancient paths traveled between mountain and sea, where earth and sky seem to speak the same language. Each bottle represents this connection with the Abruzzese landscape and its history.
