Barone di Valforte

Barone di Valforte belongs to the Sorricchio di Valforte family of Atri, whose ownership of the baronial fief of Valforte dates to the fourteenth century. The name Sorricchio refers to a grain-cutting sickle that also appears on the family arms. Brothers Guido and Francesco Sorricchio di Valforte are joined in the family business by Guido’s daughter Annamaria.

The property extends across 300 hectares in Abruzzo, with 52 hectares under vine between the Adriatic and the Gran Sasso massif. The range focuses on Abruzzo wines, including Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The winery uses solar power.
