April 6th.
For us and for all of Abruzzo, the year 2009 is summed up in this one day: the day the earthquake devastated L'Aquila, which is only 50 kilometres from Valle Reale. It was a hard and difficult year for the entire territory.
The winter of 2012-2013 was a good one. A heavy snowfall recorded just before the end of the year allowed the soil to rest and prepared the vineyards for a new season.
