“The ochre tones of autumn’s landscape blown away by the easterly winds. Winter’s bitter cold gains the upper hand over nature, fragile and helpless, stripped of its beauty but not of its charm. Short and bleak days resemble a sort of burnt-out love, subsided love. The coming of light and spring bestows new joy. Love’s fire burns again with new passion. In Idi Di Marzo nature prides itself on its grand beauty and brings new hope to the dormant land.”
In 1910, great-grandpa Vincenzo described with these words the beautiful Abruzzo scenery he found where he had decided to install his first vineyards in Villamagna, in the province of Chieti. For the first time he saw nature close up as it died in the winter and was reborn at the most beautiful time of year, on the Ides of March. The days when spring takes the place of winter and the air is filled with the intense aromas of blossom, of love, of happiness. In 2010, one hundred years after those Ides of March, we founded this estate to celebrate the date our Family began to cultivate vines and great-grandpa Vincenzo fell in love with wine and with life itself.
