VILLA BARCAROLI

Perched just outside the village of Controguerra in northern Abruzzo, Villa Barcaroli is a biodynamic jewel in the Ciù Ciù Tenimenti Bartolomei family of estates. Surrounded by rolling hills, limestone-rich soils, and Adriatic breezes, the winery produces wines that are soulful, vibrant, and deeply connected to the land.

The heart of Villa Barcaroli is Montepulciano d’Abruzzo—one of Italy’s most expressive red grapes. At this estate, the variety shines in its purest form: hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented with native yeasts, and vinified without synthetic additives or animal-based products. The result is a bold, ruby-hued wine that balances juicy red fruit and spice with natural freshness and finesse.

Certified Demeter biodynamic, Villa Barcaroli is committed to full-circle sustainability—from organic composting and lunar-influenced vineyard work to gravity-fed cellaring and minimal intervention. Nature leads every step, and the winemaking simply follows.

The Montepulciano here is fermented and aged in stainless steel, preserving its energy and highlighting the character of the Teramo hills: generous fruit, savory undertones, and a supple structure. It’s the kind of wine that speaks clearly of place—rugged but refined, powerful yet unforced.

With roots that run deep—both in the soil and the local culture—Villa Barcaroli is a rare blend of tradition and progress. From the vines planted in living soils to the hands that farm them with care, everything points toward one goal: to craft wines that are as honest and alive as the land they come from.

Villa Barcaroli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo isn’t just a bottle of wine. It’s a taste of Abruzzo’s past, present, and sustainable future—rich, clean, and ready to share.
