"Cantine Aperte a San Martino" in Abruzzo

Also Abruzzo adheres with 5 wineries



Also this year, "Cantine Aperte" ("Open Wineries") doubles its appointment with "Cantine Aperte a San Martino" ("Open Wineries at Saint Martin"), the event of the Wine Tourism Movement on Sunday 16th November.



The initiative stems from the desire to adjust the seasonality of the tourism flow and to meet, in this way, the needs of wine lovers, giving them an opportunity to get in touch with the world of production, including in a particularly interesting period of the season, because it offers the opportunity to taste the first fruits of the harvest, that is, the new and "novello" wines.



In Abruzzo there are 5 wineries participating in the nationwide initiative, and that will open their doors to visitors, to illustrate the processes of winemaking and to make taste the wines of their production in combination with real lunches or tastings of typical products, sweets and the unmissable chestnuts. In the province of Pescara, the winery of reference is Bosco Nestor, in Nocciano; in the province of Chieti you can toast at Colle del Sole (Francavilla al Mare) and Fattoria Licia (Villamagna) and finally, in the province of Teramo, the companies in the program are the Faraone (Giulianova) and Stefania Pepe (Torano Nuovo).
