It is with immense pleasure we are introducing the 2023 vintage from Andrea Ugolotti and Daniela Trollio of Colle Florido.
Located ten kilometres from the Adriatic coast in Central Abruzzo, in the last decade, Andrea and Daniela built a strong connection with the 3.5 hectares they work on the hills around their home in Pianella. Here, the vines grow on clay and limestone rich in calcium and magnesium, which contribute to the texture and depth of the wines.
Even in a complicated vintage like 2023, plagued by early vine disease and consequent low yields, the couple was able to obtain soulful grapes that translate into lively wines rich in Mediterranean character and charm. Being able to spend a week at Colle Florido during this harvest gives us particular joy in sharing the wines today.
Il Postino, La Lena and Salvo are now available for the trade, together with a few jars of Scrucchijata, the exquisite grape compote produced with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and nothing else.
We will be showcasing these wines, along with numerous new releases, at our next trade tasting on Monday, July 14th, at Casa Fofó in Hackney. Please get in touch via email if you would like to attend.
