Cataldi Madonna

Cataldi Madonna: wines from Abruzzo between identity and precision

The Cataldi Madonna collection gathers a selection of wines that characterfully tell the story of the Ofena territory and the vision of a historic winery in Abruzzo. Since the late Seventies, with bottling starting in 1975, Cataldi Madonna interprets native and traditional grape varieties like Montepulciano, Pecorino, and Trebbiano with a style focused on balance, freshness, and sapidity.

This selection is designed for those seeking wines that can combine territorial authenticity and drinkability, with different expressions but always consistent with the identity of the winery. From white labels to structured reds and the Cerasuolo, each bottle expresses the work in the vineyard and cellar aimed at preserving the vigor of the grape and the readability of the terroir.

The Ofena territory and the stylistic profile of the winery

The vineyards of Cataldi Madonna are located in the municipality of Ofena, between 320 and 440 meters above sea level, in an area that decisively contributes to the freshness and tension of the wines. The historical presence in this wine-growing area has allowed the winery to develop a deep understanding of the territory, working on plots and varieties based on the balance of the plant rather than yield.

The result is wines recognizable for their cleanliness, energy, and varietal adherence. In the whites based on Pecorino, notes of liveliness and a natural sapid push emerge, while the reds from Montepulciano show a straightforward, concrete, and territorial profile. The Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo completes the selection with a fresh and gastronomic interpretation of the grape variety.
