Burgus Vitae is a family-run farm located in Ortona, Abruzzo, producing fine wines, extra virgin olive oil, and grape-derived products.
Founded in 2020 by brothers Antonino and Alessandro Tiberio, the company represents a new generation of Italian farming businesses — deeply rooted in local heritage, yet driven by a contemporary and international mindset.
Situated between the Adriatic Sea and the mountains of Abruzzo, our farm enjoys unique microclimatic conditions that contribute to the freshness, minerality, and aromatic richness of our wines and evo oils.
Our goal is to grow superior-quality grapes and olives to craft outstanding wines and harmonious extra virgin olive oil that reflect the true authenticity of Abruzzo.
We have long been committed to sustainable farming practices and are certified under SQNPI, Italy’s National Quality System for Integrated Production.
I am a wine sommelier and my passion for wine and my region, led me to quit my office job and go back to Abruzzo with the idea to create a boutique winery in a beautiful location.
