Fantini
Founded in 1994 in Ortona, Abruzzo, by three partners – Filippo, Valentino, and Camillo – known as “the three dreamers.” The estate has historical wine connections dating back to the late 1500s when Princess Margherita of Austria came to marry Prince Farnese. Described as “the biggest boutique wineries in Italy,” Fantini was acquired by Platinum Equity in March 2020. Produces wines with extraordinary Mediterranean character using native varieties in an international style with the most advanced winery technology.
Estates: Most vineyards situated on the northern slope of the Moro River Valley with optimum sun exposure, protected by the Maiella Mountain Range (reaching 9,000 feet/3,000m) just 19 miles from the Adriatic Sea. Hillside vineyards descend toward the sea. Winemakers Dennis Verdecchia and Francesco De Santis combine traditional grape varieties with modern techniques. Produces wines from multiple regions including Abruzzo (Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo), Puglia, Sicily, and Basilicata.
