Colle Florido

Spoltore (PE) - ABRUZZO

Colle Florido is situated in Abruzzo, just outside the little town of Pianella, not far from Pescara on the Adriatic coast. It was established by Andrea Ugolotti and his wife Daniela. Before becoming a winemaker, Andrea was a respected sommelier who had worked for a number of Michelin-starred restaurants. He gave up high-end hospitality to reconnect with the land, learn how to farm and to produce some great wines. Andrea became a grape grower so that he could control every step of the winemaking process. Sustainability and respect for the environment are central tenets of his viticulture. Colle Florido’s wines are a genuine expression or both place and distinctive vision of its winemaker. The result is incredible hand-grafted garagiste wines of great class, energy, purity and freshness.

Today they farm 3 hectare of vines, planted on clayey-calcareous soil. A little bit more of one hectare is planted with 25 years old vines of Montepulciano, and a 2000 square meters of vineyard with 40 years old Trebbiano vines.
