Fantini by Farnese Wines are a reflection of the colours of Abruzzo, painting wonderful landscapes of taste and living for the love of the endless vineyards protected by Mount Majella’s motherly roundness. You can see them sliding down from the hills to the sea, seeking an optimum exposure and enjoying an excellent microclimate that the whole of Europe envies us. This is the reason why the fruits of this land grow so well and age even better. The prestigious Fantini by Farnese Wines, made from the best grapes of the Farneto Valley Estate and other prestigious vineyards from Abruzzo, at their final stage of growth may also reach the splendid cellars of Caldora Castle, a structure that we cared to restore and restructure in order to carry on the wine and historic tradition that is vital for Ortona and to make sure the wines are aged in a way that is suitable to the prestige that makes them leaders on the International markets. The most advanced technology is absolutely necessary to enable the features of our grapes to be transferred intact to the bottle. Maniacal attitudes while working in the vineyards are pointless if we are unable to maintain certain standards when bottling. At Farnese we believe we cannot produce a great wine without constant supervision on behalf of expert winemakers which is the reason why in each vintage, 6 successful winemakers live in perfect harmony with the grapes that arrive at the winery and are turned into great wines

The edition number on the label represents the number of years since the wine’s first release (1999). The reason for this, is that the blend’s five autochthonous (‘cinque autoctoni’) grapes actually come from two regions, Puglia (townships Sava) and Abruzzo (townships Colonnella , Ortona and San Marzano). 

The 2014 Edizione Edition 16 is sensational. Comprising Montepulciano (33%), Primitivo (30%), Sangiovese (25%), Negroamaro (7%), Malvasia (5%), the appearance in the glass is a chromatic event of exceptional expressive power. A black purplish that only a maximally concentrated wine, made from grapes fully matured and transformed with pure oenology, rarely succeeds to show off. 

Qualities that make Edizione Cinque Autoctoni – Farnese vini, the best red wine are persistent nose, maximum native density, recalling cherries, plums, ripe currant, tobacco, and a toasty note on the finish, excellent structure and roundness, rich, velvety tannins, and a long lasting finish; spicy notes of vanilla & chocolate.Excellent with rich first courses, red meat, semi-aged and aged cheese, 2014 Edizione is ready to enjoy immediately or it can be cellared for 8-10 years.
