- Company details
Tenuta Arabona is a 100% organic, family-run winery located in the province of Pescara, specifically in the municipality of Manoppello. This privileged position, halfway between the Adriatic Sea and the Majella massif, lies in an area particularly suited for grape growing, thanks to its deep and fertile clay-limestone soils. Our vineyards are situated at an altitude of 100 to 180 meters above sea level.
Although the winery was built in 2006 by Maria Antonietta De Acetis and her husband Domenico Radica, the company's roots go back to the 1960s, when Domenico's parents were already cultivating these lands. After completing his studies in agriculture in the 1980s, Domenico began to transform the family business, expanding it and initiating a thorough restructuring. In 1988, the entire vineyard was converted to environmentally friendly farming methods, and in 1991, the estate became one of the first in Abruzzo to obtain organic certification.
Today, the family-run estate covers 24 hectares of vineyards and 1 hectare of olive groves, cultivated with passion and respect for tradition. We primarily grow typical Abruzzo grape varieties such as Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino, and Passerina. Montepulciano accounts for about half of our production.
The vineyards, all facing south/southeast, are trained using the double curtain system. Our potential production is approximately 250,000 bottles.
The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand, and we operate on a "zero-kilometer" basis, as the winery is located right in the middle of our vineyards, and the grapes are processed immediately after being picked. This allows us to preserve their integrity and quality and to directly oversee every stage of the winemaking process, all the way to bottling.
Tenuta Arabona's goal is to continue preserving the authentic and natural flavors of the grapes and to offer our customers a unique and original wine that fully conveys the passion, care, and love of its owners. As part of this vision, we constantly strive to implement sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact, such as using solar panels for energy and recycling process water for irrigation.
