Fattoria Italiana Martelli is the union between two people, Roberto and Ludovica, who represent the fourth generation of families present in the winemaking sector since 1930
The Winery is located in Lanciano, in Abruzzo, on the family land where in 1995 the second oil mill was founded and where the winery was later extended from its original site in Rocca San Giovanni.
The land that belongs to Fattoria Italiana Martelli ranges from the town of San Vito Chietino, one of the most characteristic locations on the Abruzzo coastline and defined by D’Annunzio as the “land of the broom flower” to Rocca San Giovanni, renowned for its beautiful “trabocchi coast”.
As Abruzzo is a region that overlooks both the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso and Majella mountain ranges, the soil and weather provide the conditions for the production of high quality raw materials, each with their own identity.
The territory benefits from a dramatic swing in temperature variation during the course of a day, which guarantees that the grapevines have an ideal microclimate when associated with a good flow of air so that they grow and produce grapes of extraordinary quality. Among the top quality world famous wines of Abruzzo, Fattoria Italiana Martelli presents its red wines Montepulciano DOC Montepulciano DOC RISERVA, reminiscent of ripe cherries with a spicy hint; its white wines Pecorino IGP Terre di Chieti defined by aromas of white flowers and white peach with a hint of citrus and tropical fruits; Pecorino Spumante brut, ideal as an aperitif but also paired with seafood such as oyster.
The particular pedoclimatewith its hills that overlook the Trabocchi Coast and not far from the mountains and the olivegrowing techniquesfrom harvest, which always happens directly from the plant, to immediate milling contribute to the making of the best produce in terms of its acid composition, phenolic profile and flavour. Fattoria Italiana Martelli produces not only extra virgin olive oil, but dressings made with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemons and oranges from its own citrus groves in Basilicata; dressings made with oil and chili pepper, basil, rosemary or truffle are also produced. Production also includes olives, olive paté.
