Specialities: White wine
Cristiana Galasso is Feudo d'Ugni, or, as she calls herself, the matchmaker vintner. After finishing her art studies, after a few years she decided to go back to her roots, that is, to life in the countryside and the vineyard, in a pleasant place perched in the high hills below the imposing Maiella.
In 2001 she began her experience with a small vineyard of white grapes, in 2002 she rented the first Montepulciano vineyard, in 2004 the first bottling, slowly, one step at a time.
Alone, without support, really starting from scratch: she lives in a ruolotte in the vineyard, the winery is in an old stone house, the work is all manual and with the help of an old second-hand crawler. The first official bottling was in 2006, already with excellent results.
Uncontainable passion
Some time has passed since 2006, but Cristiana continues to produce her wines alive with sanguine and visceral territoriality.
In the vineyard he grows the most classic Abruzzese grapes such as Trebbiano and Montepulciano, but also mixed rows of Malvasia, Grüner Veltiner, Riesling and Gewürztraminer that allow him to experiment with unusual assemblages for this land, vinifying them in white or with maceration on skins.
His vines know no chemicals but only light copper and sulfur treatments to get healthy grapes. In the winery he uses the same philosophy, with rigorous, manual processing, limiting the use of sulfur as much as possible. Feudo d'Ugni's wines are traditional, authentic expressions of the territory from which they come, genuine wines that stand out for their drinkability.
