Our visit to Alba Adriatica would not have been complete without making the twenty minute drive from the Abruzzo region and into the neighbouring region of Marche where three generations of the D’Angelo family ran a business producing wine on fifty hectares of rolling hills.
They sold their wine mainly to restaurants and hotels in the Rome area. We bought red and rosé wine in 3 litre boxes for less than £1.80 a litre. Displayed in their office was a huge bottle of their 2013 vintage red wine – Tony bought that too.
