COL DEL MONDO

The Cellar

Col del Mondo meaning “Hill of the World” is a young, dynamic estate founded in 2001 by three winemakers, Antonio and Vincenzo Mazzocchetti and Francesco Polastri, who aimed to build up the awareness and reputation of the wines of Abruzzo through extensive research of the land and soil type. The vineyards are located in the region of Montepulciano DOC – on the hills of Collecorvino and Catignano in the Pescara province and Atri in the Teramo province (150-300 meters high with south/southwest exposure). During the Pliocene era, the region was completely submerged undersea, and, overtime, rivers brought silt, clay and limestone soils to the land. Today, this area is covered with gentle hills of vineyards, olive trees, woods and fields spanning from the rugged Apennines mountain range in the west to the Adriatic Sea in the east.
