Orefice Vini
Pronounced oh-reh-fee-cheh, Orefice translates as goldsmith. It’s also the name given to a house established by five friends from winemaking families, who see the indigenous grapes of Abruzzo as gold to be sculpted and guided into artwork in the bottle. Their independent vision has seen them establish their tiny winegrowing operation in the low hills […]

Il Vignaiolo is also a project to assemble expressive, geographically typical […]
