The Castle of Semivicoli, in the province of Chieti
There is a great deal of poetry in Masciarelli’s story. The winery, among the most well-known and granted Italian business, requires no intro. Nevertheless, it deserves keeping in mind the romantic beginning concept when in the 1980s, defying the apprehension of lots of, the young Gianni Masciarelli from the province of Chieti chose to bank on Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, concentrating on quality production of a worldwide level. This technique and the valorisation of the normal functions of the area cause the development in simply a couple of years of the truth that all red wine fans understand today.
The cellar, with the “stellar vault”
The overall enthusiasm for quality, which likewise ends up being visual, is something that can be felt even today when roaming around the cellar where the barrels are placed under ceilings that remember the vault of stars. A research study that ends up being sophistication without conceit. The Semivicoli Castle, a 17th century baronial palace now the business’s red wine resort, for instance, is a location that shines with charm. A view that welcomes the Gran Sasso, the Majella and from the hills turns to the sea. The great remodelling boosts a modern location however with an ancient taste.
If the Masciarellis were fantastic innovators in white wines, today there is an upkeep of the design that we might specify as timeless that exceeds styles, which does not ridicule pulp and pleasure where frequently just the skeleton is looked for.
All this does not omit a concrete pragmatism that takes a look at the world carefully and wishes to comprehend, experiment and enjoy it. Where one might conceal behind the outcomes attained, there is interest and a look that goes from the area, valorising it and explaining it, to the global, explore languages and blending designs. Gianni’s Choice circulation, concentrated on the choice, import and circulation in Italy of high-end white wines from the most fascinating wine making locations of Europe, is no coincidence.
Openness to various languages which at Castello di Semivicoli implies, for instance, contamination with the interventions of modern artists, with live music, with yoga amongst the vineyards. Red wine ends up being a language that accompanies other languages, likewise breaking away from the canons and handling a brand-new pop light. And those who follow us understand just how much this subject is extremely dear and genuine to us.

It is not unexpected then that the white wines are the ones we understand. We who have an unhealthy enthusiasm for Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, which we think about among the best expressions of contemporaneity in red wine, select one above all that aims to the future while keeping its roots in the area. The Rental Property Gemma, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo vinified in white, has a stunning complete color, tasty experiences of cherry, notes of rose and citrus fruits, freshness and great deals of taste for a flexible beverage, practically 360 degrees, summery and carefree without ever being banal. The structure of the reds integrated with the drinkability of the whites, pop like the language of the cellar!
