From the intuition and vision of 42 men, led by the tenacity of the so-called “professor” Ermando Galante, the “Società Cooperativa srl Madonna dei Miracoli” was founded on 17 January 1960. The times were those of the economic boom, of great excitement and innovation. And absolutely new for those times was an associative form, in a place like Casalbordino of over 60 years ago, where there was no industrialization that we see now, nor organizations that protected farmers. Over the years, the desire to enhance our production and the great dedication that has always characterized all our members and those who work with them has grown. The cooperative has grown year after year and is now composed of 650 members who work about 1,200 hectares of land. The production of wines with a high quality standard has always been one of our goals. But we didn’t stop there: on one hand there is the tradition and history of our land, on the other the desire to look to the future and offer a wider range of products of Italian excellence. With this vision we became a group: first by acquiring the historic Ortona winery Agriverde, the first certified organic in Abruzzo, and a symbol of quality and sustainability in our region. Then by expanding the range of Italian wines with the annexation of another historic but Tuscan winery, Cantine Sorelli, producer of a wine like Chianti, also an emblem of Made in Italy wine production.
