Masciarelli is one of Abruzzo's symbolic wineries and this is due to a profound and iconic personality like that of Gianni Masciarelli, who passed away too soon, but who still accompanies us today with his profound words and his wonderful wines: "Being on my side is absolutely not necessary and even less desirable: on the contrary, a dose of curiosity, as in front of a foreign creation, with an ironic resistance, would seem to me an incomparably more intelligent position towards me". The story of Masciarelli wines began over 30 years ago, when Gianni started his business in 1981 in the small village of San Martino alla Merruccina, at the foot of the Maiella and since then his love for his land, his family and his wine have never abandoned him. Even his wife Marina Cvetic, fascinated by this charismatic man, decided to start her own line of wines, where she and only she could decide what to produce and how. So Cantina Masciarelli became like a family, unique in the world, but made up of two very distinct identities that have always remained inseparable. Today, the Masciarelli winery's estates extend over 320 hectares, 273 of which are planted with vines, while the remainder are cultivated with olive trees for the production of an excellent oil. In just a few years, starting almost from nothing, the Masciarelli winery has become one of the largest wineries in the Abruzzo region and is destined to remain at the highest level, thanks also to the contribution of Miriam, the founder's daughter, who together with her mother is carrying on the very important legacy left by her father.
