PRODUCTION AREA
Municipality of Pretoro 602 m a.s.l. The vineyards are located in the agricultural landscape of the Majella Park where
the millennial presence of men has preserved of an agricultural biodiversity elsewhere disappeared.
GRAPE ORIGINS
Vine of uncertain origins, whose grape are considered delicious by the sheep, from which perhaps the name
originates. It was particularly widespread throughout the Abruzzo region before the appereance of phylloxera.
It was gradually abandoned to make room for more productive varieties such as Trebbiano.
IN THE VINEYARD
Fabulas vineyard is an element of great agronomic and naturalistic value. The sheeps provide the natural and smart
control of native spontaneous flora and the natural fertilization bringing the animal spirit in the vineyard. Machining
is minimized. From the location of the vineyards on one side of the mountain it is easy to understand that from a
phytosanitary point of view the plants require little intervention and they are related only to the use of copper and sulfur.
Soil
The soils are of medium mixture tending to calcareous and have retained their natural fertility
thanks to the poor exploitation of the soil by man.
Farming system
Abruzzo Pergola
Harvesting
Handpicked in wooden boxes and in willow and cane baskets.
IN THE CELLAR
The fermentation is spontaneous without the use of selected yeasts, it takes place in stainless steel tanks with

expression of both the vine and its terroir.
