Chiara Ciavolich’s land holdings are in the heart of Abruzzo, benefiting from extreme diurnal temperature changes and fewer clouds due to nearby mountain ranges. As she came into control of the family farm, Chiara was compelled to better understand the wines of her ancestors who migrated to the area in the 1500's - she even has an incredible cellar dating back to that time with a storied local history of being occupied by the SS during the Second World War. This mission embodies her principles of winemaking – honest wines that speak clearly of Abruzzo and of the land her family has farmed for generations. 

This part of Abruzzo inflects itself onto the wine in dramatic fashion – close to the sea yet very cold from the nearby mountain ranges
