Borgo di Colloredo
At Borgo di Colloredo in Molise, a quaint area in the south of Italy, the Di Giulio brothers are guardians of a veritable treasure: the indigenous grape variety of this winegrowing region.
The brothers Pasquale and Enrico Di Giulio run their winery with a passion, and are the third generation to do so. «When we were little, our father took us by the hand and showed us our vineyards,» they recall. «‹This will be your land,› he said. ‹Love it and look after it, and it will be generous to you in return.›»
Pasquale, an agronomist, is responsible for cultivating the 70 hectares of vineyards than run gently down to the shores of the Adriatic Sea in a way that is as close to nature as possible, while oenologist Enrico keeps a close eye on the creation and maturation of the wines in the cellar. Native varieties such as Montepulciano, Trebbiano and Aglianico, but also international varieties, benefit from the mild, balancing climate of the Adriatic coast and are turned into very quaffable, juicy wines with Mediterranean charm.
