The Buccicatino farm has a recent history, being born almost for challenge in 1993, thanks to Umberto who followed his father Giovanni's example and with brave choices, dictated by a determined spirit of renewal, created a little but dinamic enterprise devoted to reach an only goal: to obtain finished products with high quality standards. Despite the initial scepticism, Umberto, convinced of his behaviour and thanks to his stubborness and to his family support, was able to impose his wines on the market obtaining the widest consents from his customers. The achievement of the first successes, has further motivated owner to achieve a more minute care for the vineyards and a total renewal of the cellar with modern plants of wine making and with the preparation of a beautiful "hall of the barrels" in the basements of the managerial house, without neglecting its upper floors, readapted for the tasting of wines and the reception of guests. The vineyards, all family property, are placed in a hilly zone with excellent exposure and on tendentially argillaceous and pebbled grounds which exalt the organoleptic characteristics of the produced wines, thanks to a low yields for hectare. The grapes are treated following the old traditions: the vintage is made by hand and with maximum care to avoid quality alterations of the product. Besides the high technology of the used machinery contributes to highlight those typical and noble characteristics of the wines from Abruzzo, which were neglected for a long time and which are now more and more esteemed by the experts and by the tastes of the consumers. At present our business policy is more and more oriented toward the quality improvement through a progressive renewal and the implantation of vineyards with a high density of plants per hectare. The firm has an agronomist as a consultant and the winemaker is Romeo Taraborrelli, one of the most famous in Italy. The annual production is about 110.000 bottles, also commercialized on foreign markets (Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, England, Canada, Usa). Olive oil is another excellent product of the Buccicatino farm.
