Contesa
Region
L'Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy
Rocco Pasetti headed up Roxan Cooperative in Abruzzo, before deciding to purchase his own family estate. With 30 hectares planted to montepulciano and pecorino, the vineyards on clay soils at 250 m.a.s.l. are close to Pescara and the Adriatic Sea. Farming is sustainable, and winemaking traditional with Slavonian oak botte used to age the reds. Contesa (meaning argument in Italian) is a salute to Rocco’s great grandfather, who fought hard for his vineyards in 1903.
