Eredi L.

Our cellar is located on the gentle hills that surround the town of Lanciano at 350 meters above sea level. The synergy between our families and wine production have always been alive and present here because they are linked to the history of the city since its origins. A corner of Abruzzo, protected to the west by the majestic Maiella and embraced to the east by the Adriatic Sea. It is the combination of these elements that creates an ideal microclimate for the production of large grapes that transmit to the wine the flavors of our territory. Eredi Legonziano was born in 1968 in a community "heir" of a heritage received by generations of women and men who have preserved and bequeathed to us a territory, a culture, traditions and a historical wine vocation that plunges its roots into a rich past in deep meanings that make us trace our origins back to the extraordinary figure of the symbolic and common ancestor "Legonziano". As tradition dictates, the centurion LONGINO who in the spoken tradition became LEGONZIANO, was born in our country. Enlisted in the Roman militias, he left for Palestine where he met and recognized the deity of Jésus.Il converted to Christianity, abandoned the militias and returned to his land "to cultivate his vineyards" where he lived in holiness and died as a martyr. (Stella Traynor-Morawska in "The Story of Longinus" published by "Franciscan Printing Press - Jerusalem") In the heart of the thousand-year-old city of Lanciano, built in his honor, is the church of San Legonziano. Today, our agricultural community, passionate and respectful of traditions but also innovative, both in cultivation techniques such as the pergola of Abruzzo, in the techniques of winemaking of first and second fermentation, as well as in the cultivation of the biodiversity of indigenous vines, continues to preserve the inherited collective heritage, for itself and for those in the world who want to enjoy it in a glass of healthy wine , perhaps walking on our lands between the Costa dei Trabocchi and Monte Maiella.
