Location
T e n t a F n t o n
A place where nature, beauty, and vision come together.
Among the hills of Città Sant’Angelo, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy and listed by Forbes among the best places to live, stands Tenuta Fanton.
A farm estate stretching over 18 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, and orchards, overlooking the Adriatic Sea and embraced by the Gran Sasso massif and the Majella mountains.
Here, the landscape is authentic and harmonious, made of silence, light, and work.
It is the place where I decided to change my life.
Originally from Padua, after a couple of years spent in Frankfurt, I felt the need for something more meaningful—something tangible.
Abruzzo struck me with its simplicity, its connection to the land, and its authenticity.
I decided to stay, to build something here, and to begin a new journey.
A l i f e c h c e
Tenuta Fanton was born from this gesture: a return to the land, but with a new perspective. An agricultural project that combines respect for farming traditions with a desire to look ahead, to innovate without losing authenticity.
Every bottle of wine and every drop of oil holds this balance: between authenticity and innovation, between roots and future, between territory and vision.
Because here, among these hills, I understood something simple yet essential: true excellence is born from the meeting of who we are and who we dream of becoming.
h e m i s s i o n
I believe that wine is not just a product, but a sincere language to tell the story of the land it comes from.
My commitment takes shape in Abruzzo, among vineyards, olive groves, and landscapes that reflect our agricultural identity.
Even though I wasn’t born here, I’ve found a new home in this land. Day by day, I discover its authentic beauty: the faces, the gestures, the silences full of meaning. With the curious gaze of a captivated outsider, I carry this project forward.
My mission is to tell the story of this territory through wine and olive oil, staying true to its roots while interpreting it in my own way.
A young and contemporary style that seeks balance between tradition and innovation, between what has been and what can become.
Because I believe the future of agriculture begins here:
with deep respect for the land and the desire to let it speak a new language fresh, modern, and open to the world.

One-piece Cork: For Aging Wines
For wines meant for long aging, I use one-piece corks. This choice promotes controlled micro-oxygenation, which softens tannins and enriches the aromatic bouquet, ensuring evolution, elegance, and longevity.
Sustainable Agglomerated Corks: For Young Wines
For our fresher, more immediate wines, we select high-quality agglomerated corks made from recycled and certified materials. A solution that combines safety, sustainability, and respect for the environment, in line with our philosophy.
The Opening Gesture
I believe opening a bottle is a small ritual. The soft sound of the cork lifting not only marks the start of a tasting: it is the opening of a special moment, a shared experience. It is the wine’s first breath, its way of saying: “Here I am.”

Since the 17th century, the glass bottle has been the silent guardian of wine, the ideal container to protect its identity without interference.
At Tenuta Fanton, every bottle tells more than just the story of the wine it holds: it tells a philosophy, a gesture of care, a sustainable vision.
Dark Glass: Protection for Aging Wines
For wines meant to mature over time, we use dark glass.
This type of bottle protects the wine from UV rays, which could alter its color and aromatic balance.
The concave bottom helps collect natural sediments, offering a clearer and more authentic tasting experience.
Clear Glass: Transparency for Young Wines
For fresher and more immediate wines, I choose clear glass bottles.
Here, light becomes an ally, revealing the brightness and liveliness of the contents right away.
It’s an invitation to enjoy the moment, to celebrate the youthfulness of the wine and its desire to be shared.
A Sustainable Choice
Glass is not only safe for wine, it is also environmentally friendly.
It is infinitely recyclable: every bottle can be reborn in just 30 days without losing quality.
A small act that fits into a virtuous cycle, consistent with the estate’s sustainable approach.
