History
Praesidium was founded in 1988 by Enzo Pasquale and his wife Lucia at Prezza, a hill town in the Valle Peligna often called the genetic home of Montepulciano. Deeply traditional, the estate releases its Montepulciano only as Riserva, aged years in steel and then oak, making one of Abruzzo's most distinctive old-school reds.
