Respect for Nature also means preserving its values and protecting its inhabitants.   Roe deer Il Capriolo, animale timido e schivo tende a nutrirsi di germogli e la sua presenza è ben evidente dalle impronte che lascia nei nostri vigneti quando va in cerca di cibo. Solitario ma anche tenero rappresenta il nostro Trebbiano Senza Solfiti che è una vera e propria sorpresa di gusto.   Squirrel The squirrel, a swift and agile climber often spotted in the ancient elms that once adorned our garden, is the symbol of our fine and delicate Trebbiano, which, like the squirrel, often eludes the less attentive observer.   Abruzzese Shepherd The Abruzzese Shepherd is the loyal companion of shepherds who lead their sheep to pasture, a strict guardian of the flock, and a great protector of its master. A faithful representation of our product, it will proudly make itself known in our Pecorino.   Ox A symbol of devotion and the humble labor carried out in the fields. It represents our San Zopito, a label dedicated to the Patron Saint of Loreto Aprutino. Hare The hare, a protected animal in our reserve area and the ultimate biological indicator, represents our Montepulciano: young, delicate, and highly drinkable, flowing swiftly just like the many hares that can often be spotted on our estate.   Fox The clever and cunning fox inspires admiration and curiosity in those who manage to spot it. Its character is reflected in our Cerasuolo: young, fresh, pleasant, and with a well-balanced acidity.   Wild boar The wild boar, a rugged and untamed animal, fully represents our Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Senza Solfiti. Like the boar, it is rustic and seemingly rough around the edges but shatters all preconceptions once tasted.   Wolf The wolf is one of the most well-known and studied animals. A nocturnal creature and a protected species, it is the undisputed protagonist of Abruzzo’s wildlife and the Gran Sasso, which stands behind us. It represents our Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva, the pack leader of our wines.   Roe deer Il Capriolo, animale timido e schivo tende a nutrirsi di germogli e la sua presenza è ben evidente dalle impronte che lascia nei nostri vigneti quando va in cerca di cibo.

It represents our San Zopito, a label dedicated to the Patron Saint of Loreto Aprutino. The miracle of San Zopito “During the solemn procession behind the relics of Saint Zopito from Penne to Loreto Aprutino, a farmer was working in the fields with his ox. So engrossed in his labor, he paid no attention to the passing procession. The ox, however, left its master’s side, ignoring his calls, and approached the procession, bowing ‘solemnly’ in reverence.” Every year, on the Monday following Pentecost, the historical reenactment is celebrated.Thanks to the municipality of Loreto Aprutino and, above all, to its inhabitants, who pass down a part of our history and culture from generation to generation. History The tower The area where the Tower stands is mentioned in medieval sources that recall the presence of an important early medieval settlement, the Castrum di Podium Rahonis. The tower was likely the fortification of an inhabited area, traces of which remain in the form of building materials, including bricks and roof tiles. The same sources recount certain events related to the area: between 1150 and 1168, the fief was owned by Count Roberto of Aprutio and was administered on his behalf by Riccardo de Poliano, a descendant of Tancred, Duke of Normandy. Riccardo’s brother, Rhao, was likely responsible for the renovation of the tower. Based on materials discovered during archaeological excavations, the tower dates back to the early medieval period, as indicated by the presence of ceramics attributable to that era and the absence of evidence of earlier occupation. It appears to have been inhabited until the 13th–14th century. The settlement of Torre Raone underwent a slow decline until, by the late 13th century, it was divided among six owners. In the early 14th century, it was permanently abandoned. The Tower was strategically located on a hillside to oversee the road connecting Penne to Chieti. It likely developed between the 6th and 7th centuries as part of the reorganization of ancient settlements in the area, driven by urgent defensive needs.
