Under the stewardship of Chiara Ciavolich, the estate has committed firmly to organic viticulture and a focus on indigenous varieties — particularly Montepulciano and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo — farmed with minimal intervention. They are widely regarded as one of the producers doing most to elevate Abruzzo's reputation beyond bulk wine and into the conversation about serious Italian regionality.\u003cbr\u003eCiavolich has farmed organically for a number of years and is certified organic.
