Our History
The Sorricchio di Valforte family has owned the baronial fief of Valforte since the XIV century.
The origin of the name ( Sorricchio indicates a typical sickle used to cut the corn , also present in the ancient coat of arms) proves that the family have been landowners in Abruzzo from many centuries.
There are various testimonies telling of a very well know and influential family who were well known in the fields of art, politics and wine making. Nicola and Luigi Sorricchio, both historians, wrote many books about the ancient origin of their home town Atri.
Love for the land and passion for the vines have always been a priority of the Sorricchio di Valforte’s family.
The family still work, with love and passion , on the same land as did our ancestors before us.
