Il Quercetto

Il Quercetto: love and respect for the land

The company Il Quercetto, named after the Contrada Querce Grosse, now renamed Cerchigrossi due to the ancient presence of oak forests in the valley, spans an area of eight hectares and is divided into three farms at an altitude ranging from 150 to 250 meters above sea level. All located in the municipality of Pollutri in the province of Chieti, D.O.C production area.

Il Quercetto is a company committed to the cultivation and production of oil and wine for several generations. The grandfather was one of the first to own a tractor and also helped other farmers, but it was only with Michele joining the company that they started bottling. Michele, passionate about hip hop, initially had no intention of continuing the family tradition, but suddenly he began to look at his fields with new eyes and love blossomed. He put in a lot of passion, hard work, and with courage he chose to bottle, aware of the quality of his products.
Il Quercetto does not use GMOs or chemical products, in the cellar they only control the temperatures allowing the terroir to speak.

The keyword for the company Il Quercetto is love and respect for nature. 

Il Quercetto: wines born from a unique Terroir

The company Il Quercetto, composed of 30 hectares, of which 10 are planted with vines mainly of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, is particularly focused on developing and perfecting viticultural practices for the production of a unique wine.

The company's mission is driven by a strong passion for nature and the land passed down through generations. This passion has been the engine that has pushed them to always aim high towards quality production.

Attention to the crops is particularly high, as is the desire to experiment to obtain sincere grapes that can produce a refined wine.

The company Il Quercetto is located in the territory between the gentle hills of Chieti, on the soft hills of Pollutri where the gaze gets lost between the Majella and the blue Adriatic, captivated by the colors and fragrances of extensive and flourishing vineyards, located in a perfect position on authentic lands, caressed by sea breezes and mountain currents. The different soil compositions from clayey to chalky, with good temperature variations and proximity to the Adriatic Sea give the wine pronounced notes of minerality and saltiness, a more alcoholic wine that is rich in color.

The nature of the soil on which the vineyard is planted, the mother rock from which it derives, determines the quality and development of the vines, affecting the organoleptic properties of the wine signed Il Quercetto. 

Hard work and healthy principles: this meticulous and responsible processing by the company Il Quercetto allows us to savor prestigious Montepluciano d'Abruzzo Classico DOC wines: award-winning wines recognized also with the Award di The Wine Hunter, awards that take into account production and its sustainability, aspects to which the winery pays great attention, making organic cultivation, territoriality, and sustainability the cornerstones of the company's vision.
