Cantine Mazzarosa
The Mazzarosa Devincenzi winery was born during the creation of the Italian Kingdom. The cellar was designed and built by Senator Giuseppe Devincenzi in the second half of the 19th Century, it is one of the oldest buildings of the Region of Abruzzo, and therefore it is a historical and cultural reference point for the entire Region. The farm and winery comprehends an area of 540 hectares, 37 of which are vine plantation. From this area come the grapes of the typical Abruzzo vine varieties, the Montepulciano, the Trebbiano and the Pecorino, and international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are located on the hills at a height of 150 meters above sea level, in a particularly favorable area: the sea is only a few kilometers distant, the south exposure to the sun is perfect all throughout the day, the soil drains the water in excess very well and the mountain Gran Sasso sits on the background to all of this, making the terroir unique and perfectly suitable to the cultivation of the grapes.
Each phase of the production is followed and taken care with accuracy and attention, beginning from the cultivation of the vineyard: we take great care of the soil and practice the technique of guided farming, realized following the principles of “integrated agriculture”, which implies treatments on plants only when needed instead of on a schedule, preferring products allowed on organic cultivation and introducing to the winery only grapes with no residual of chemicals. All of this gives birth to a healthy and natural product in the vineyard, that maintains its properties in the cellar. The winemaking, done with the traditional method, is followed in each stage by our expert team: the must’s fermentation is natural and the best production is selected each year for the bottling or the ageing. Finally, the least possible amount of sulphites is added to the product, thus obtaining a “live” wine: Thanks to the fact that it isn’t chemically stabilized, it remains rich in ferments and therefore natural and highly digestible.
