Fattoria Fibbiano is a family-run farm. The whole family has lived and worked here since 1997. Giuseppe, the father, deals with the general management of the estate and takes care of the vineyards and countryside. Matteo, the eldest of the two sons, is in charge of marketing the wines and his brother, Nicola, is the winemaker who oversees the entire wine-making process.  rich in history and traditions.

The Vineyeards
20 hectares of vineyards. Most of them are south-facing. 2.5 hectares have been planted in a north-facing direction with the aim of producing sweeter grapes in dry periods, which in recent years have become more frequent. All the red grape varieties are positioned on top of the hill while the white grape varieties have been planted on the valley floor.
The soil originates from the sea and is rich in fossil shells from the Pliocene epoch, and medium-textured corals.

The farm has always grown autochthonous grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Sangiovese Forte, Sangiovese Polveroso, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino for red wines, and Vermentino and Colombana for white wines.

The Cantoni family regard the environment as an important part of our heritage, to be protected, not as a resource to be exploited. The quality of a product is inextricably linked to the way we care for the land. The land surrounding the farm is only treated using organic fertilisers and human intervention is kept to a minimum. From the point of view of energy consumption, the agritourism is completely self-sufficient with a 30-KW photovoltaic plant, a solar plant for the production of fresh water, and central heating which uses the wood obtained from pruning the river banks and from clearing the woodland.
Fattoria Fibbiano is a certified organic farm

Sanforte: An Indigenous Tuscan Grape Reborn

Sanforte from Borgo Prunatelli, a legacy born after the storm

Twenty‑four years after the tornado of 6th of August 2002, the hills of the Val di Sieve still carry the memory of the day nature reshaped their future. What began as devastation became the unexpected beginning of one of Tuscany’s most remarkable grape rediscoveries. Hidden among damaged terraces near the hamlet of Prunatelli, a single ancient vine survived the storm — a discovery that would lead to the revival of Sanforte, now organically cultivated at Borgo Prunatelli under the care of the Grati family. The story of this native grape returns to the spotlight: a tale of resilience, heritage, and the quiet strength of a vine that refused to disappear.

San Zopito’s day

San Zopito’ day:  the Festa di San Zopito is the traditional annual celebration in Loreto Aprutino (province of Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy) in honor of San Zopito Martire, the town’s patron saint. It is one of the most deeply felt religious and cultural festivals in the local calendar, blending devotion, legend, folklore, community and popular festivity.

The story:

On a warm Sunday, May 22 of the year 1711, a slow procession came winding through the Abruzzo hills. It was on its way from the bishop’s palace in Penne towards the small town of Loreto Aprutino.

They were bringing two recently acquired relics to the local church.

The relics consisted in a box with an arm and the skull of a rather obscure saint, San Zopito. He had died a martyr, or so the story goes, around the year 300 AD in Rome, and his remains had been buried in the Vatican deposits, until in 1711 Pope Clemens XI donated them to the clergy of Loreto Aprutino.

While the believers and their treasure were happily on their way, they passed some fields where a farmer was busy ploughing with two oxen.

At that moment one of the 2 animals moved away from the farmer, ignoring his calls and approaching the procession, then it bowed soberly and spontaneously as a sign of reverence.

Since then, every year, an ox carries the relics on Whitsuntide Monday through Loreto Aprutino.

The celebration:

The Festa di San Zopito is nowadays a colourful 2-day festival celebrating this oxen moment. One the most beautiful rural one Abruzzo where the locals will attend church services, participate in religious processions, enjoy live music and street food.

The trained ox, nicknamed the ‘White Knight’ wears a scarlet cloak with images of the Saints, and relics, kneels and gives praise in specific areas of the town as he is a tramite (vehicle of the divine).

A local primary schoolgirl, dressed like an angel, stands on its back representing San Zopito.

Did you know that….

Torre Raone‘s Montepulciano d’Abruzzo  San Zopito,  celebrates the spirit of the town’s patron saint.

Drawing its name from the beloved figure at the heart of Loreto Aprutino’s most cherished festival, this wine reflects not just the character of the land, but the living culture and devotion of its people.

Rich, expressive, and deeply rooted in local identity,
San Zopito is more than a wine — it’s a tribute in every sip to tradition, community, and the enduring soul of Abruzzo.

Pinot Grigio Ramato MÄÄ , Weissburgunder Riserva and news frokm the vineyards.

Pinot Grigio Ramato “Mää”

With the Pinot Grigio Ramato “Mää,” Weingut Klaus Lentsch consciously embarks on a new path. The idea stems from a desire to reinterpret Pinot Grigio, giving it greater expression, depth, and personality.

  • Process: The grapes macerate on the skins for six to eight days, taking on a signature copper hue while developing intense aromas and a more mineral structure.

  • Aging: Approximately 15% of the wine matures in wood for one year before being blended with the young wine.

  • Profile: The result is a powerful yet balanced wine that shows its best qualities, particularly in spring and summer.

The label also breaks sharply from tradition: it was created with the help of Artificial Intelligence and, presumably, a healthy dose of imagination—an element that underscores the wine’s creative character and the winery’s philosophy of blending tradition with new ideas.
