The Terre dei Penati wines invert the traditional European approach of appellation. Winemaker Alberto Antonini set out to make organic wines with a focus on consistency of quality and style from year to year.

To do this, he decided to blend wines from the Abruzzo and Puglia with those from Sicily and Tuscany. Puglia and Sicily provide depth and breadth, while the Tuscan coast and the Abruzzo give texture, acidity and vibrancy to the wines.

The 2023 vintage saw a dry and mild winter followed by a very wet spring. A hot summer followed with high daytime temperatures. A healthy water reserve from the rainfall in spring alongside careful vineyard management reduced the effect of water stress in the hot weather. The temperature variation between day and night was ideal for developing excellent fruit ripeness by the end of the growing season. Harvest began during the final week of August.
