Piandimare

Villamagna, one of the smallest cru in the world, in which organic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has found its terroir par excellence, represents the heart of Piandimare winery. 

Villamagna is located between the Adriatic Sea and the massive Majella mountain range in the Abruzzo region. The soil is mostly rich in calcareous marbled clay and the area has a high thermal excursion between day and night during the vineyard’s vegetative stage, giving the grapes an extraordinary elegance and a polifenolic structure. Piandimare is one of the smallest cooperative of the Abruzzo region. We are completely devoted to the cultivation and the vinification of the grapes coming from the Villamagna area, creating some of the most structured and elegant wines from Abruzzo.

The name Piandimare derives from the ancient conformation of the hill on which our vineyards are placed, which was once completely covered by the sea (“mare” in Italian). In terms of grape peculiarities, this means minerality, structure and freshness. The Piandimare agronomist team worked from the beginning to select the best clones, perfectly adapted to the area, to give the best and unique expression of the terroir. All vineyards are organically farmed and since 2011 all the new vineyards have been planted with the clone selection Montepulciano D’Abruzzo “Piandimare” to achieve the best expression and complexity in the wines.
