Viticulture at High Altitudes

Located at an impressive 800 meters above sea level, Cantina Castelsimoni spans approximately 2 hectares within the stunning Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park in L'Aquila. This unique elevation allows for the cultivation of exceptional grape varieties, including Pinot Noir, Aromatic Traminer, Rhine Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. The winery prioritizes natural processes, using only sulfur and copper in the vineyard, avoiding irrigation and synthetic fertilizers, and employing indigenous yeasts in the cellar without filtration.

Castelsimoni’s Philosophy

At the core of Castelsimoni's philosophy is a deep respect for the environment and natural cycles. The winery refrains from using invasive chemicals in the vineyard and avoids selected yeasts, filtration, and synthetic products in the cellar. This commitment helps preserve the unique characteristics of the region, allowing the wines to reflect the true essence of Abruzzo.

This region is home to numerous national parks and nature reserves, contributing to its rich biodiversity.

Extremely friendly and helpful owners. Having met at an event in the province of Crema, we went to visit them at WineForuli and in the cellar the following day. Fabulous vineyard location.

Excellent wines from heroic agriculture, as they are mountain wines. They make a spectacular rosé, nothing to do with the usual rosés without character, in fact this one is called Rosé Characters. Also absolutely worth trying is their grandiose Pinot Noir and their aromatic Traminer

I bought this wine at the Treviglio fair and only now have I had the opportunity to taste it, or rather drink it with great pleasure, satisfaction... And very good, fragrant...
