Ciavolich ‘Divus’ Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP

The Ciavolichs were wool merchants from Bulgaria who built the family’s first cellar in 1853, one of the oldest wine making structures in Abruzzo. Chiara Chiavolich, the current generation owner, comes from a family of strong women. She strives to keep agricultural, wine and historical heritage intact in order to pass it on to future generations through sustainability. Ciavolich wines are made with both contemporary and ancient vinification techniques, respectful of the original variety and territory producing wines that are straightforward, clean and with deep spirit.

Divus was born in 1987 from the most ancient vines of the winery and proudly expresses the land where it comes from. Made with 100% Montepulciano; hand harvested; destemmed; crushed; and fermented in stainless under controlled temperature; then aged in old barrels and barriques for a year; then in bottles to present a fresh, tannic, soft bodied, mature wine that gets better with time.
