Agricola Cirelli ★ 4.5
Colline Teramane · Contrada Colle San Giovanni 1, 64032 Atri, Teramo, Italy
An Atri farm in the calanchi badlands about eight kilometres from the sea, farming organically and fermenting Trebbiano and Pecorino in terracotta amphorae.
Tip: Luciano Pignataro covered the amphora work here early. The farm also runs tented suites in the olive grove if you want to stay on site.
Tenuta Terraviva ★ 4.4
Colline Teramane · Via del Lago, 19, 64018 Tortoreto, Teramo, Italy
A Tortoreto estate a few kilometres from the Adriatic working with low intervention, including amphora aged Montepulciano. Winemag grouped it with De Fermo writing about natural wine in Abruzzo.
Tip: The cellar door publishes hours including Saturday mornings, which is rare on this coast. Bottles run from 13 to 36.50 euros at the door.
Emidio Pepe ★ 4.9
Colline Teramane · Via Chiesi 10, 64010 Torano Nuovo, Teramo, Italy
The Torano Nuovo house has bottled since 1964 without filtering, holding wine in the cellar and decanting by hand before release, a window it has stretched from ten years to twenty.
Tip: The fruit comes from vines over fifty years old. There are rooms in the founder's house on the estate, and visits are arranged by email.
