Impresso nel Vino tasting
Ninety-minute guided estate tasting that runs through Marramiero's house range, mixing Abruzzese varieties (Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino) with the estate's international plantings.
Book this experienceMarramiero farms vines across four estates between the Gran Sasso foothills and the Adriatic, with its cellar at Contrada Sant'Andrea in Rosciano, on the inland Pescara stretch known historically as the Terre dei Vestini. Run by the Marramiero family across two generations, the estate works principally with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo and Pecorino, alongside small plantings of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero on cooler-climate sites. Visits run by appointment, with four guided tasting tiers from thirty-five to a hundred euro per person.

Ninety-minute guided estate tasting that runs through Marramiero's house range, mixing Abruzzese varieties (Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino) with the estate's international plantings.
Book this experienceNinety-minute flight built around three icons: Inferi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Altare and Colle delle Pietre. Set as a tribute to Dante Marramiero's signature labels.
Book this experienceNinety-minute experience focused on the Decennial Reserve cuvees Dante and Livia, framed as a journey through founder Dante Marramiero's vision. Top tier, smallest format.
Book this experienceThe estate sits at Contrada Sant'Andrea in Rosciano, an inland village in Pescara province where the Adriatic plains rise toward the Gran Sasso massif and the silhouette locals call the Bella Addormentata. The Marramiero family has worked here for two generations: Dante Marramiero turned a farmhouse winery into a structured estate before passing the project to his son Enrico, whose name and signature still anchor the labels.
Vineyards span four named tenute. Tenuta Sant'Andrea, the historic root, holds about fifty hectares at three hundred metres above sea level, planted to Montepulciano, Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, the regional Maiolica and Trebbiano. Tenuta Milano adds twenty-seven hectares of Montepulciano and Pecorino interleaved with olive groves. Tenuta Tratturo, the lower estate around two hundred metres, is given over to Trebbiano and olives and produces renewable energy on site. Tenuta Amarello sits higher, at Ofena under the Gran Sasso, where calcareous-clay soils and cool nights are devoted to Pinot Nero.
The cellar pairs traditional barrique and stainless-tank ageing with Ganimede fermenters, which use carbon dioxide rather than mechanical pumping to keep the cap submerged, and an XTRI optical sorting line that screens berries by fluorescence and infrared. Top wines spend up to twenty-four months in cellar; the flagship Inferi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo carries forty months of fermentation and maceration in Ganimede tanks before bottling.
The range is organised by intent rather than denomination. Dante and Livia anchor the Decennial Reserve, the longest-aged tier. Inferi and Altare lead the Selections; Anima, Incanto, Colle delle Pietre, Punta di Colle, a single-variety Chardonnay and an Abruzzo Pecorino DOC sit in the Specialties bracket. Everyday classics cover Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo and Pecorino, with the Sessanta Passi line as the most accessible reading of the house style. A Metodo Classico Brut and Rosé extend the project into traditional-method sparkling.
The cellar is open by appointment for guided tasting tours that run roughly ninety minutes each. The four tiers move from a base estate experience at thirty-five euro per person up to a hundred-euro tasting built around Dante Marramiero's heritage cuvées. Intermediate flights focus on the Anima and Incanto pair, and on Inferi, Altare and Colle delle Pietre. Booking is required and runs through the Divinea widget on the official site.
