Rabasco Winery, founded by Iole Rabasco, is located in the picturesque village of Pianella in Abruzzo, Italy. This small, family-run estate spans about 3.5 hectares, producing wines primarily from Montepulciano and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo grapes. The vineyards are situated on calcareous clay soils, enriched with fossil and alluvial sediment, which contribute to the mineral complexity of the wines. The vines, some as old as 40 years, are farmed organically, and the estate has never used chemical treatments.

Rabasco embraces traditional methods, with vines trained in the *tendone* style, and all vineyard work is done by hand. The winery is part of the natural wine movement, meaning no added sulfur, no fining, no filtration, and spontaneous fermentation. This hands-off approach aims to capture the true essence of the terroir, resulting in rustic yet refined wines that balance acidity, freshness, and natural expression.

The proximity to both the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso mountains gives the estate unique microclimatic conditions, helping create wines that are fresh and vibrant while still showing the depth of the Montepulciano grape. Rabasco's wines are highly sought after for their purity and authentic representation of Abruzzo's winemaking traditions.
