About Giuliana Vicini

Giuliana Vicini
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP

Giuliana’s story is that of a woman from the beginning of the century who was born into a patriarchal family in the town of Ortona with the Italian region of Abruzzo.

Due to the conditions for women at the beginning of the 20th century in Italy, it was always impossible for her to manage her part of the property. At that time young ladies were a burden for their families, who had to manage their destiny with good marriages for which 'a dowry' was necessary. In some families, when a daughter was born, it was far from a party.
 
Giuliana's brother, Giuseppe Ciavolich, was born 5 years later and after their Father’s death, took over the land ownership of the Ciavolichs. He was only 16, but at the time it was that way. Giuliana, who spent a whole life without a ransom, at the age of 95 left her estate in Miglianico to her niece Chiara Ciavolich, so that she could somehow redeem her name and history. She did so on two conditions: the first is that the wine produced in her name was not called Ciavolich but Vicini, in the name of her bond with the only loved one in her life: her beloved grandmother Donna Ernestina Vicini. The second is that the wine in her name had a purpose: to support all women in their process of emancipation and self-affirmation. Hence the rebirth of Giuliana, the rebirth of a woman: Giuliana Vicini.
