Tenuta Cipressi

Tucked into the Pescara province of Abruzzo, the small town of Scafa is not a name that appears often in wine conversations. But the Cipressi family has been making wine here since 1971, when they planted their first vineyard, and they have been farming organically since 1990 -- long before that word carried any marketing value. Their estate, operated under the Duchi di Castelluccio label and known on export markets as Tenuta Cipressi, is one of Abruzzo's quieter success stories.

The Cipressi family's roots in Scafa trace back to 1889, though the modern winery was formally established in 1971 and converted to organic viticulture in the early 1990s. Today the estate is guided by the grandchildren of the founding generation. Multiple vineyard parcels -- including the historic Podere, the Quattro Contrade, and the Tenuta Zappino, named for its consistent winds and meticulous upkeep -- feed grapes into the cellar. The wines are 100% organic, certified natural, and fully BioVegan: no animal-derived fining agents, clarifiers, or additives appear anywhere in the production chain.
