It is not surprising that Abruzzo provides a perfect haven for grape growing. Vines flourish thanks to the terroir, the abundance of sunshine, the generous rainfall and a variable climate. On the coast it is warm and dry on the coast; inland it is more continental (hot in summer and cold in winter).Furthermore, the high altitudes see dramatic temperature variations. When combined with cool mountain air currents, they moderate the temperatures in the vineyards situated on the slopes. This provides a perfect mesoclimate for the vines. The most favourable growing conditions are found in the low hills of Teramo, the Colline Teramane.
