PRODUCTION AREA
Municipality of Pretoro 602 m a.s.l. The vineyards are located in the agricultural landscape of the Majella Park where

GRAPE ORIGINS
The origin of the name is to be attributed to a wine that was originally produced in Malta. It was a valuable product
traded by Venice merchants. The several grape varieties named Malvasia often only have in common the name,
deriving from the Greek city of the Peloponnese Monenbasia which means “port with a single entrance”, a city that,
by assonance with the Greek city name, was renamed by the Venetians “Malvasia”.
IN THE VINEYARD
Fabulas vineyard is an element of great agronomic and naturalistic value. The sheeps provide the natural and smart
control of native spontaneous flora and the natural fertilization bringing the animal spirit in the vineyard. Machining
is minimized. From the location of the vineyards on one side of the mountain it is easy to understand that from a
phytosanitary point of view the plants require little intervention and they are related only to the use of copper and sulfur.
Soil
The soils are of medium mixture tending to calcareous and have retained their natural fertility thanks to the poor exploitation of the soil by man.
Farming system
Abruzzo Pergola
Harvesting

IN THE CELLAR
The fermentation is spontaneous without the use of selected yeasts, it takes place in stainless steel tanks with

expression of both the vine and its terroir.
