Palio is a family-run estate in Abruzzo’s Valle Reale, owned by Leonardo Pinzolo of the Pizzolo family and overseen by General Manager Giulia Migliorati. Its vineyards in Popoli and Capestrano, within Maiella National Park, are certified organic and Demeter biodynamic, with no chemical treatments used. The estate focuses on native varieties and spontaneous, wild-yeast fermentations, while most wines are aged in stainless steel, emphasizing a clear expression of place and a minimally interventionist approach.
