PRIVATE - Tour of the Palmenti at Pietranico & Cantina Castorani – Wine and Flavours of Abruzzo
Discover authentic Abruzzo on a journey through history, tradition, and flavor. Begin with a visit to the Palmenti of Pietranico, ancient basins carved into the rock and once used for grape pressing — a fascinating testament to Abruzzo’s centuries-old rural culture.
Continue to the renowned Cantina Castorani, nestled among rolling hills and lush vineyards. Here, you’ll uncover the secrets of winemaking as you stroll through the barrel cellar and taste some of the estate’s most iconic wines.
