VESTINI
The
Vestini were an ancient people who inhabited what is now the Abruzzi
region of Italy. Even during Roman times they were noted for the
excellent wine produced on their rolling hills facing the Adriatic Sea.
Today, the winemaking in this region is experiencing a renaissance and
achieving a worldwide reputation. Lorenzo Scarpone, the owner of Villa
Italia, is a descendent of Abruzzi’s ancient Vestini. Lorenzo grew up
on his family’s farm and still maintains contact with the local
growers. These growers have been the source for Villa Italia's own
private label wines known as Vestini. | MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO Vestini
