2024 · Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOC

Vigneti Radica is a family-run winery in Tollo, Abruzzo, with three generations of viticulturists represented by Rocco, Antonio and Giacomo Radica. Its vineyards extend across Fara Filiorum Petri, Ari, Tollo and Ortona, where the family farms organically and manages the entire process from grape production to bottling. The estate emphasizes environmental responsibility, using low-impact technologies, sugar-cane corks and pergola training to help protect vines from extreme weather. The winery is integrated into its surroundings with wood and local stone. Its wines include the limited-production Tullum DOCG, the grandfather-inspired Paparocco range and a Metodo Classico first made in 2012 from single-vineyard Chardonnay. The business evolved from a cooperative into a private family operation.
