Fonte Venna Pecorino IGT

Fonte Venna is the Lamaletto family’s entry-level Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and it is every bit as important as their pinnacle product, as it is the wine you ‘meet’ first. That may be why Il Feuduccio’s owners chose a name that would say a lot about their philosophy and values. The Venna stream crosses the appellation and has provided local farmers with sustenance for centuries. The winery’s founders Gaetano and Maria Lamaletto named this characterful red to celebrate their daily labor and the ancient farming traditions of Abruzzo.
