Shop Spinelli Wines1. The Excellence of the Frentane Hills
The Spinelli winery has evolved since its founding in the 70s to become a benchmark under the protection of the Consorzio Tutela Vini d'Abruzzo. Located in the province of Chieti, the winery takes advantage of the dual climate of the Maiella massif and the Adriatic Sea, which gives its grapes exceptional thermal amplitude and aromatic complexity that is difficult to replicate.
This geographical convergence generates constant winds that naturally protect the vineyards, allowing for slow and progressive ripening. The predominantly clay-limestone soils provide each varietal with a marked mineral character, firm tannic structure, and a freshness that defines the unmistakable hallmark of the house.
At La Cava Shop, we value Spinelli's consistency in producing red wines with great typicity. Their mastery of the Montepulciano grape allows them to offer profiles ranging from immediate freshness to reserves with refined aging potential, all available in our curated selection of high-end wines.
2. Emblematic Varieties and Terroir Expression
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: Identity and Strength
Spinelli's Montepulciano is a testament to precision viticulture. According to Wine Folly standards, this variety is appreciated for its deep color and moderate acidity levels. Spinelli elevates this grape through controlled maceration that extracts the best from the skins without compromising the elegance of the tannins.
In its Reserve versions, aging in oak barrels contributes sophisticated notes of ripe plum, cassis, black pepper, cocoa, and a balsamic touch that rounds out the palate with silkiness and persistence.
Vinification of Whites and Rosés
In addition to its reds, the winery stands out for its Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a rosé with a "red wine soul" made from direct pressing of Montepulciano that harmonizes perfectly with our selection of gourmet products. It stands out for its bright cherry color and notes of pomegranate, fresh cherries, and aromatic herbs.
Meanwhile, its whites based on Trebbiano d'Abruzzo and Pecorino offer vibrant minerality, crisp acidity, and citrus notes that faithfully reflect the limestone soils of the Frentane hills.

What differentiates Trebbiano d'Abruzzo from other whites?
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a specific denomination that requires very particular soil and climate conditions. Unlike other Trebbiano variants in Italy, the Abruzzo version cultivated by Spinelli has greater longevity, structure, and distinctive notes of white flower, green apple, and a characteristic bitter almond finish. You can learn more about these classifications on the Italian Wine Central portal.
How to pair the Spinelli selection?
We recommend serving Montepulciano at 18°C accompanied by grilled red meats, roasted lamb, or pasta with intense sauces like veal ragu. If you are looking for options for dessert or the end of the meal, explore our collection of premium spirits to close the Italian experience in style.
What is the ideal serving temperature for Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo?
Due to its firm tannic structure and rich fruitiness, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is best enjoyed between 10°C and 12°C. This allows its freshness to be maintained without dulling the complex aromatic nuances that distinguish it from other traditional rosés.
