The Abruzzo winemaking region is in the centre of the Italian "boot". The Apennines run along its western border which include Corno Grande, the highest point on mainland Italy. The mountains temper the climate, blocking many storms that come in from the west.

Abruzzo is dominated by cooperatives. About 80% of all wine from Abruzzo is made by co-ops located in hotter areas like Chieti.

A small, delicately pale white grape which is indigenous to Italy, Pecorino is happy from higher mountain altitudes all the way down to hillside slopes to the coast. It thrives in Italy’s Abruzzo region.

The beauty of Pecorino is its versatility: unoaked, or with a kiss of oak, it shows stone-fruit sweetness, florals and delicate herbal notes, with lively bracing acidity and minerality.

Cantina Orsogna was created in 1964. It is the largest producer of organic and biodynamic wines in the south of Italy. It has been certified biodynamic since 2005 and has been organic producers for more than 30 years.
