THE WINERY

CATALDI MADONNA

The Winery: Cataldi Madonna
Cataldi Madonna produces some of Italy’s greatest white wines of today and is regarded by wine experts as not only one of the top wineries in Abruzzo, but in Italy as well. Second generation winemaker, Luigi, followed in his father’s footsteps and brought the estate, which was originally founded in 1920, to stardom. In 1968, the estate underwent massive modernization efforts with vineyards being replanted, building renovations, and new technical equipment installations. The winery is situated in Ofena, a small town in Italy’s Abruzzo region, at an altitude of over 300 metres above sea level. Situated at the foothills of the only Appenine glacier on Calderone in the Gran Sasso mountain range, Ofena is located in an area known as “the oven of Abruzzo”. Thanks to the extraordinary solar exposure, high-temperature variations, and soil characteristics the area is particularly suited for viticulture.
