Praesidium

The quintessential Montepulciano and Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, produced by the Pasquale family since 1988.

The Peligna Valley is a unique terroir in Abruzzo, where calcareous rocks enrich the clay soils, lending minerality to the wines, and the wide temperature range between day and night enhances their refreshing acidity.

Enzo and his children, Antonia and Ottaviano, consider wine a cultural product, born from the interaction between man and nature. For this reason, they avoid any excessive manipulation or invasive intervention in their winemaking, respecting the identity of the vines and their fruit. Their rigorous principles of organic farming, long macerations, and extended aging have made their Montepulciano, Cerasuolo, and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo unique and globally recognized.

Presidium is featured on some of the world’s finest wine lists, including Chambers in New York and the Michelin-starred Villa Majella in Chieti.
