In central Italy there is fossil evidence of grapevines dating back two million years, but the first traces of agricultural activities oriented to grape cultivation itself date back to the end of the Bronze Age. In Abruzzo, the first evidence of wine production stretches back in pre-Roman times, with funerary pottery unearthed in the monumental cemeteries around L’Aquila.
The Valle d’Oro label is designed in a modern, “millennial” style aimed at everyday drinkability, freshness, and high quality at an accessible price point.
