Wine has always been the source of life, joy and the desire to live for all cultures. The sacredness of the vines and wine is brought out every day in our own tradition despite the passing years and the great changes in our society. Wine remains an unchanging mark of our cultural identity and our history. It is a unique product, dense with symbolic content, capable of uniting and creating communication due to its great significance.
The history of Count Saladini Pilastri dates back to the year 1000; a noble family from Ascoli Piceno that boasts of a rich and fascinating past whose ancestors were priests and leaders. The deep antique roots of the family are a heredity for the present ; it is a heredity of long lives of tradition over the centuries of history. The vineyard activity has always coincided with the value and culture of the land from which it belongs.
Count Saladini Pilastri's farm began three centuries ago; the land has always produced wine. Originally the tenant farmers gave up their wine to the Counts so they could age it in the so called "barriques", the famous durmast barrel.
Saladini Pilastri Villa is found two kilometres from Spinetoli, a sweet medieval town whose origins date back to the 5th century B.C.; its name derives from a hill called "Spineola" because it was covered with rose thorns.
The ancient castle which characterizes this town seems to have been constructed in the 13th century and it faces the Tronto river, dominating one of the many hill that characterizes the country side.
