From the Cantina of CiuCiu
Owned by the Bartolomei family, the Cantina Ciù Ciù was founded in 1970 by the spouses Natalino and Anna and is located a few kilometers from the medieval Offida (AP), a beautiful town full of events and traditions.
The hills of the Offida area and the neighboring municipalities between the Tronto and Tesino, thanks to their particular geographical position, allow the production of fine Offida wines. The sea air coming from the east creeps between the hills and the rows and mixes with the smells, colors and flavors of the land, creating a magical and unusual scenario.
