Febo - Italy

Near to the Adriatic coastline in Eastern Italy, Davide and Laura Febo decided to connect with their family history and grow the Febo winery and family business. Their family were generational farmers, but their grandfather with vineyards and farm in Spoltore Aruzzo was the true inspiration for the winery, planting the first Montepulciano grapes.

They are blessed to also have old vineyards from their mom’s side of the family, in Chieti Abruzzo, growing montepulciano along with other native white wine varieties, trebbiano and pecorino. Febo searches for the best ways to blend tradition and innovation, always trying to sustain the natural environment of their vineyards. Febo’s wines are made organically, with biodynamic farming, using native yeast fermentation, and are unfiltered.

Family is all important to Febo. Touches of their ancestral history can be seen throughout the winery, and is represented best of all in their unique cement tanks. Painted vibrantly in red and white, they were originally painted and purchased by Laura and David’s grandmother, who had diligently sold fruit in local markets to acquire them.

No one describes Febo and their wines better than themselves: “The goal of the winery is to produce wines that are a clear expression of the territory and of the passion for viticulture.”

Febo has also been awarded multiple medals for packaging design by Vinitaly Design Competition and a Silver Medal for packaging from the International Wine Competition of San Francisco.
