Spinelli
Abruzzo • Italy • Family Heritage
"From the hills of Abruzzo, Spinelli interprets the soul of Italy with wines that are a perfect balance between the strength of the mountains and the freshness of the Adriatic."
The Excellence of the Frentane Hills
The Spinelli winery has evolved since its foundation 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 leverages the climatic duality of the Maiella massif and the sea, which gives its grapes an aromatic complexity difficult to replicate.
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 aging potential, all available in our curation of high-end wines.
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.
White and Rosé Winemaking
In addition to its red wines, the winery stands out for its Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a rosé with a "red wine soul" that harmonizes perfectly with our selection of gourmet products. Its white wines, based on Trebbiano and Pecorino, offer a vibrant minerality that reflects the calcareous soils of the Frentane hills.
Frequently Asked Questions: Spinelli Technical Analysis
What distinguishes Trebbiano d'Abruzzo from other white wines?
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a specific appellation that requires very particular soil conditions. Unlike other Trebbiano variants, the Abruzzo variety cultivated by Spinelli has greater longevity and notes of white flower and bitter almond. 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 red meats or pasta with intense sauces. If you are looking for options for dessert or after dinner, explore our collection of premium spirits to finish the Italian experience in style.
