History

Francesco Cirelli, an economist drawn back to his grandparents' countryside, founded Agricola Cirelli near Atri in 2003, farming organically from 2006. A leading Abruzzo natural producer, he makes an accessible La Collina Biologica line and an Anfora line aged in custom Impruneta amphorae, including a skin-contact Trebbiano.
