About This Experience

In 2013, while planting Pecorino vines, Feudo Antico's team struck the remains of a Roman rustic villa: this tour is guided personally by the cellar master who created the estate's wines, and it begins at that archaeological site, where two thousand years of Tollo winemaking lie in the ground beneath the rows. The discovery gives the visit its extraordinary spine. The Roman villa remains, preserved within the winery itself, are physical proof that this corner of Abruzzo has made wine since antiquity, and starting the tour there reframes everything after it: the vines as the latest sentence in a very long story, the cellar as its newest chapter. Your guide is the rarest kind: the winemaker, the cellar master personally responsible for the wines you will taste, walking you through the history and the winemaking process with the authority of the person who makes the decisions. Questions here reach the source; there is nobody further up to ask. Pecorino is the estate's flag: the native white grape whose revival Feudo Antico helped lead, crisp, saline and increasingly celebrated, planted in the very ground that revealed the villa. The tasting sets it alongside the estate's other expressions, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo among them, each explained by its maker with the mixture of pride and precision only authorship allows. Tollo itself is one of Abruzzo's defining wine villages, its cooperative traditions and vineyard hills minutes from the Costa dei Trabocchi, which makes the visit an easy anchor for a coastal day with substance. Your winemaker-led visit confirms instantly when booked online through Wine Trails, direct with Feudo Antico, nothing added. Archaeology and agriculture keep unusual company here, and the tour's rhythm honours both: allow a couple of unhurried hours, bring questions, and accept that you will leave with at least one bottle of Pecorino and a story that outperforms most museum visits. Tollo's cellar-country roads make a car, and a restrained pourer, sensible companions. Plenty of tastings mention history; very few pour it above a Roman floor with the winemaker holding the bottle. For travellers collecting experiences that cannot be replicated, Feudo Antico's is quietly unbeatable: antiquity underfoot, Pecorino in the glass and the author of both stories leading the tour.
