Abruzzo, Italy
Cantina Spinelli currently produces DOC and IGT Abruzzo wines, 65% of which are exported. We keep tradition alive in our love and respect of our land and its products. For the rest, the company now uses advanced growing, production and ageing techniques. The vinification process takes place according to all the rules that guide the production of quality wines, which are continuously improved with the help of skilled oenologists throughout Italy. Local grape varieties – such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Pecorino, Passerina, Cococciola – are our pride. Our whole history is linked to the enhancement of traditional regional wines. The company uses underground rooms for wine storage and finishing, where natural temperature ranges between 18 and 22°c. A new room was created in 1999 and is used for refining and ageing wines (mainly red wines) in Slavonian oak barrels. The growing appreciation we receive from our customers is most certainly the best confirmation we could get for the quality of our work. We are also proud of the numerous awards that our wines won in the past few years at the most important international competitions in the industry. We are also proud that our work has helped the wines and the flavours of our region gain ground from Europe to America, Asia and Oceania. It is just our way of being: never far from our land, always close to the world.

"It excels both in its softly grapey balance of taste and in its clarity and turgid, unoxidated olfactory profile. And the dense pulp makes it a superior wine."

"What a delightful surprise for the price. You can expect bright citrus and green apple with subtle florals, all in harmony. The palate is clean, fresh, and full of inviting lemon and almond. This versatile, food-friendly wine, at a bargain price, pairs well with shellfish, creamy pastas, and various seafood salads. Grab as much as you can if you find this wine in the private market. Cantina Spinelli is a family winery established in 1973 in Abruzzo by Vincenzo Spinelli. His sons, Carlo and Adriano, joined him a decade later, and the family has become one of the leading wine producers in Abruzzo. They boast a large, ultra-modern proprietary winery, including a state-of-the-art barrel cellar for aging wines, all of which reflect the quality of this everyday pinot grigio. The estate is situated in the Chieti region, in the Val di Sangro and Frentane hills of Abruzzo, nestled between the Maiella mountain and the Adriatic Sea. The climate is Mediterranean, warm and breezy, with significant temperature swings from day to night. A crisp, refreshing Pinot Grigio from the hills of Chieti." - Anthony Gismondi

"Consistant and round on the palate as well as on the nose, an enveloping, dense wine, oenologically clean given the clarity and fragrance of its sunny aromas."

"Consistency: 29 - Balance: 32 - Integrity: 32. A wine of a truly impressive softness and winemaking. The taste is well-balanced, due to the combination of deep and crisp hints of the acidity and persuasively rounded by the hints of the ripe grape pulp. A perfume and an oxidative integrity that enhance its varietal hint of pear and melon pulp. A great wine."
