il conte
It all began with the courage and vision of grandfather Amilcare and father Marino, pioneers of local viticulture.
Their spirit still guides every harvest, every choice, every bottle.
These are the values on which the company was founded.
We grew up among the vines, breathing the air of our land and learning about it day after day.
This is our story: Walter, Emmanuel, Samuel, and Marina De Angelis.
Theirs is an innate passion for the region, a natural vocation for quality. It’s teamwork, a family effort, where everyone brings their own talent and dream.
Our vineyards extend in the heart of Contrada Colle Navicchio in Monteprandone, 250 meters above sea level.
A unique location:
A south-facing hill, kissed by the sun and a constant breeze.
Here, nature is the vine’s ally.
Il Conte Villaprandone is now recognized for its production of cru wines, authentic expressions of their place of origin.
Each bottle is the result of a continuous pursuit of excellence, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail.
Character, elegance, authenticity. This is how a territory is described, this is how a wine is signed.
