Description
WINEMAKER: Andrea & Daniela Ugolotti
REGION: Abruzzo, IT
VARIETY: Montepulciano
VITICULTURE: Organic
Salvo is a 100% Montepulciano coming from the same vineyard of Erba Salata. A red that is born, following Andrea's dream to make a wine to drink while giving the opportunity to Erba Salata to rest longer in barrel. De-stemmed following 4 days of maceration on the skins. Ten months in a big wooden cask before being bottled.
Colle Florido is situated in Abruzzo, the greenest region in Europe, as almost half of its territory, is set as national parks and protected nature reserves. About 20 minutes drive inland, leaving behind the main coastal city of Pescara and the Adriatic sea, Andrea Ugolotti and his wife Daniela, found the perfect place for their farm and family. The winery is situated on top of a hill, just outside the little town of Pianella, around 250 metres above the sea level.
Andrea, originally from Parma, before settling in Abruzzo, was a respected sommelier. He worked for many Michelin starred restaurants (Dal Pescatore, L’oustau de Baumaniere, and Le Bricourt to mention some), travelling between Italy, France, England and Scotland, leaving behind great professionally and reputation. After many years of high standard services, he decide to abandon the restaurant world and move to Montalcino, with the aim to reconnect himself to the land, learn how to farm and ultimately to be able to make great wines. He established great relationships with Gianfranco Soldera and Marino Colleoni. The last one also brought him to take part of the Vinnatur environment, giving him the chance to meet many other producers and create new relationships.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
