Col del Mondo, meaning “Hill of the World”, was established in 2001 by three winemaker friends with over 30 years of experience in viticulture – Antonio and Vincenzo Mazzocchetti and Francesco Polastri – who aimed to produce outstanding wines from their best vineyards, while also bringing awareness to the wine reputation of Abruzzo through extensive research of the land and soil type. They named the estate after the steep hill covered in vines.
The vineyards are located in the region of Montepulciano DOC – on the hills of Collecorvino and Catignano in the Pescara province and Atri in the Teramo province at 250 m to 300 m above sea level with south/southwest exposures. During the Pliocene era, the region was completely submerged undersea, and, overtime, rivers brought silt, clay and limestone soils to the land. Today, this area is covered with gentle hills of vineyards, olive trees, woods and fields spanning from the rugged Apennines mountain range in the west to the Adriatic Sea in the east.
