Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 'Fosso Cancelli' by Ciavolich is produced from the vineyards of Loreto Aprutino using integrated agriculture. Producing artisanal wines with native varieties is one of the reasons that drove the winery to produce this pure Montepulciano. The grapes are rigorously hand-picked and then pressed and left to ferment in old cement vats. Then it was time for bleeding in amphorae, with the addition of indigenous yeasts where the tumultuous fermentation continued. This Cerasuolo is a slightly intense vivid red, with a variegated aroma of ethereal hints of ripe fruit. Decisive and personal to the taste, balanced in freshness and flavor and rich in body and extracts. Excellent when paired with red meats, mature cheeses and first courses of the land. Approximately 5,000 bottles are produced, numbered on the label.

Ciavolich
In the heart of the wine-growing Abruzzo, between sun-kissed hills and breezes that descend from the Gran Sasso to meet the Adriatic Sea, stands the Ciavolich winery, a company deeply tied to its history and its territory. The origins of the family date back to the 16th century, when the Ciavolich family, wool merchants of Bulgarian origin, settled in Miglianico, starting an agricultural tradition destined to last for centuries.
The first family winery was born in 1853, built to vinify the grapes grown on the property's land. Today this long legacy is in the hands of Chiara Ciavolich, who leads the company with passion, elegance and a contemporary vision, renewing every day the commitment to authentic and quality viticulture.
The beating heart of the estate is now located in Contrada Salmacina, in Loreto Aprutino, in one of the most suitable areas of Abruzzo for the cultivation of vines. Here, at 250 meters above sea level, the vineyards enjoy an ideal climate: mild, bright, constantly ventilated and with marked temperature variations. The clayey, silty and sandy soils offer perfect conditions for the ripening of healthy bunches, rich in aromas and structure.
The vines that are the symbol of Abruzzo's identity are grown between the rows: the intense and vibrant Montepulciano, the fresh and harmonious Trebbiano, and the Pecorino, an ancient variety now rediscovered for its aroma and minerality. Each label tells the story of a generous land and of a family that has guarded its soul for over 150 years.
Vino45 is proud to offer Ciavolich wines, to offer its customers an authentic journey through the hills of Abruzzo, where history, territory and passion blend in every glass.
