Feudo Antico was born in 2004 giving life to an experimental project of archaeoenology in the territory of Tollo (Chieti). The intent is to revitalize indigenous crops and protect a fragile environment, while strengthening the community's sense of belonging. Distributed only in the Ho.Re.Ca sector, Feudo Antico today focuses mainly on the DOCG Tullum, the denomination established in 2008 and elevated to DOCG in 2019 that promotes local varieties such as Montepulciano, Passerina and Pecorino. It currently produces around 150,000 bottles of which 58% are sold abroad, mainly in Europe.
