Tasting notes

Montonico is one of the rarest grapes in Abruzzo, and Bisint is one of very few varietal expressions of it available anywhere. The combination of high acidity, mineral salinity, and the slight textural grip from skin contact gives it a profile that sits somewhere between a lean Verdicchio and an amphora-aged natural white. It is a specific, honest wine that tastes like a place.

See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

Producer profile

Cantina Indigeno

Cantina Indigeno was founded in 2016 by four friends: Alfredo Giugno, Nicola Reginaldi, Fabio Petrella, and Loreto Lamolinara. The winery operates near Montorio al Vomano in the Teramo province of Abruzzo. Alfredo worked as an accountant and had been fermenting beer as a hobby; Loreto distributed craft beers; together they had opened a microbrewery called La Casa di Cura in Crognaleto in 2013. Nicola, a sommelier and pub owner in Teramo, brought the group toward natural winemaking. The project was also encouraged by the team at Lammidia, another natural producer in Abruzzo who offered guidance at the outset. Their first vintage in 2016 produced around 5,000 bottles, the majority exported to the United States and Japan.

The winery farms organically, using only copper and sulfur treatments in the vineyard. They manage 9 hectares of certified organic vineyards in and around Teramo, with additional grapes sourced from local farmers who use the same protocols. Vines average around 30 years old and grow on stony limestone and calcareous clay soils. The range focuses on indigenous Abruzzo varieties: Montepulciano and Trebbiano primarily, along with Montonico, Pecorino, Malvasia, and Cococciola. Biodynamic preparations including green manure cover crops are also used in the vineyard.

All grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control. The winery uses fiberglass and stainless steel vessels, with occasional use of amphorae. No fining, filtration, or sulfur additions are made at any stage. The Bisint is made specifically from Montonico sourced from the Bisenti area, fermented with skin contact, then aged on lees in fiberglass for eight months before bottle refinement.

Wine region

Abruzzo, Italy

Abruzzo occupies a stretch of central-eastern Italy where the Apennine Mountains descend toward the Adriatic Sea. The province of Teramo, in the northern part of the region, sits at the geographic center of this wine's story: its vineyards benefit from higher elevations, ferrous clay and limestone soils, and significant diurnal temperature variation that preserves acidity and aromatic freshness. The Gran Sasso massif to the west and the Adriatic coast roughly 8 kilometers to the east define the local climate, which combines Mediterranean warmth with cooler mountain air.

Abruzzo's key DOC and DOCG designations are built around Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo for reds and roses, with Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC and the Colline Teramane DOCG (established in 2003) covering the Teramo hills. Indigenous white varieties including Pecorino, Passerina, Cococciola, and the rare Montonico have attracted renewed attention from a new generation of natural producers. Montonico's historical production zone centers on the municipalities of Bisenti and Cermignano in Teramo province, where it is protected as a Slow Food Presidium.
