Fontefico: organic wines from the most authentic Abruzzo
The Fontefico collection brings together two interpreters of great personality from the organic farm Fontefico: La Foia 2021 Pecorino Superiore DOC Bio and Fossimatto 2023 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore. These wines accurately tell the story of a unique coastal territory, where vineyard work meets the constant influence of the Adriatic Sea and a production philosophy based on care, respect, and the identity of each vineyard.
This selection is designed for those seeking Italian wines with a clear character, territorial and consistent with a viticulture attentive to natural balance. Fontefico indeed works with organically cultivated vineyards, manual harvesting, and quick processing of the grapes, thus preserving freshness, aromatic integrity, and expressive quality in every bottle.
The value of the single vineyard and the organic method
At the heart of Fontefico wines is a very precise approach: each label comes from a single vineyard, chosen to express unique characteristics. In the Punta Penna promontory, the fresh and salty winds from the sea help keep the vines healthy and dry, also contributing to moderating temperatures in the warmer years. This is complemented by spontaneous cover cropping and green manuring, practices that nourish the soil and support the vitality of the plant.
The result is an essential yet well-defined range, ideal for those who wish to purchase wines that combine agricultural authenticity, stylistic cleanliness, and a strong connection to Abruzzo.
The labels in the collection
La Foia 2021 Pecorino Superiore DOC Bio
La Foia represents the white soul of the Fontefico selection. The Pecorino, in Superiore DOC Bio version, is a wine appreciated for its tension, freshness, and ability to accurately convey the marine component and the profile of the Abruzzese territory. It is a bottle suitable for those seeking a gastronomic white, elegant and versatile, capable of easily accompanying seafood dishes, vegetarian preparations, and medium-structured cuisine.
Fossimatto 2023 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore
Fossimatto instead interprets the livelier and more territorial side of Abruzzese rosé. The Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore is a wine with a fresh, savory, and immediate profile, but with a structure that also makes it suitable for the table. It is the right choice for those who love characterful rosés, capable of offering balance between fruit, drinkability, and personality, without sacrificing a clear regional imprint.
When to choose Fontefico wines
Fontefico wines stand out for their versatility and expressive precision. They are ideal for those who want to:
- discover organic wines linked to a specific vineyard;

- bring to the table a white and a rosé consistent with contemporary cuisine;
- purchase curated, authentic bottles suitable for various consumption occasions.
Whether it’s a fish dinner, an informal lunch, or a more refined aperitif, the Fontefico collection offers two complementary interpretations of Abruzzo: the finesse of La Foia and the liveliness of Fossimatto. An essential selection, yet rich in personality, to discover and choose to bring the character of the territory into the glass.
