Praesidium is a family-run winery founded in 1988 by Enzo and Lucia Pasquale. Enzo was born in Prezza and grew up working in his grandparent’s vines. Their children, Antonia and Ottaviano have joined the family winery as well.
The Pasquale family take great pride in their city and land. The winery takes its name from Prezza’s name during Roman times – “Praesidium” – when the city was a defensive fortress. The town is perched on a rocky mountainside overlooking the surrounding Apennine range.
The winery farms using organic practices, native yeast fermentations, and minimal intervention in the cellar.
Praesidium produces some very special wines. We would love to share these traditional Abruzzese wines with you at a discounted price to try.
2019 Praesidium 'Luci' Trebbiano – Chent'annos (chentannos.com.au)
Praesidium Lucì Bianco Terre Aquilane IGT is a mesmerising Trebbiano Abruzzese, straw yellow colour with intense bright golden reflections. It is an elegant and persistent wine with hints of fresh flowers, almonds and wild apples. Long and persistent finish.
The cerasuolo is a captivating light red that can be served chilled. It has the same Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes as the Riserva however, maceration is limited to hours rather than the usual days for red wine production. The Cerasuolo, with its intense pink color, subtle bouquet of sorb, pomegranate, wild roses and its refreshing acidity, is a versatile wine
2020 Praesidium Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a deep ruby red wine. On the nose the hints recall ripe blackberry fruit. Then spicy notes followed by leather and undergrowth. On the palate the progression is powerful and snappy, the tannins are excellent and the persistence is long.
