Azienda Agricola Marina Palusci

In the wild hills of Abruzzo, Azienda Agricola Marina Palusci embodies a deeply rooted family history. Founded by Massimiliano D’Addario's grandfather, it initially focused on olive cultivation, a pillar that remains essential today. The family farm, engaged in olive growing for four generations, produces extra-virgin olive oils of the highest quality, made from local single-cultivars grown in the municipality of Pianella. You might be wondering who Marina Palusci is in all of this? She is Massimiliano's mother: he chose to name his estate after her in her honor, and as a tribute to the strength of family roots.

As local tradition dictates, a few rows of vines were always reserved for house wine — a simple wine, made for sharing. It was alongside his grandfather that Massimiliano learned, through gestures and silences, how to make wine. A peasant, instinctive education that he never left behind. For him, olive oil is work; wine is passion.

Since 2009, this passion has materialized in the production of natural wine, with the first market releases immediately captivating industry critics. The estate now spans about twenty hectares, primarily dedicated to the historic olive grove. Around fifteen hectares have been planted by Massimiliano, seven of which are dedicated to vines. Of these seven hectares, only three are currently vinified. Montepulciano, Pecorino, Passerina, and Moscato Rosa are grown there on four distinct plots, each giving rise to a single-vineyard cuvée that faithfully reflects its origin.

Terroir, plots, and grape varieties

The vineyard benefits from the Mediterranean climate and the clay-limestone soils typical of Abruzzo, just a stone's throw from the mountains. This geographical and climatic diversity allows for a wide temperature range, favorable to the aromatic development of the grapes. The wines aim to reproduce the specificities of each plot, in a subtle and respectful interpretation of the terroir.

Cultivation methods

Here, the earth is respected in its most vibrant form. Massimiliano cultivates his vines organically, without the use of any chemicals. Only copper and sulfur are used, sparingly. The work follows natural rhythms, without artifice or compromise. The estate is a member of the "Vins S.A.I.N.S." association — an acronym for "Sans Aucun Intrant Ni Sulfites ajoutés" (Without Any Input or Added Sulfites) — which brings together winemakers committed to producing living wines, without any enological intervention or added sulfites, from the vine to the bottle.

Winemaking

The philosophy of "nothing more than the grape" continues in the cellar. The wines are made without sulfites, without any additives, through spontaneous fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts. No filtration, fining, or stabilization is practiced. Each cuvée is born in the intimacy of the cellar, listening to the grape, in an artisanal approach that extends the family tradition.

The wines

Sincere, free, rooted wines, reflecting the person who makes them. Lively, full of character, they tell the story of their homeland with accuracy and emotion. At Marina Palusci, wine is not made to follow a trend, but to share a gesture, a story, a truth.
