Sant'Angelo Extra Muros

The restoration works, which began at the end of 2025, have confirmed the exceptional state of preservation of the building’s structure. With its double-layered masonry and perfectly preserved majestic arches, the structure bears witness to centuries of history and architectural mastery.

Sant'Angelo Extra Muros is ready to write a new chapter in its long history. A living heritage and a symbol of Valle Reale’s story, it once again stands as an active witness to the winemaking tradition that has shaped these unspoiled lands for over eight centuries. The restoration has brought this historic structure back to light, reviving a symbol that bridges past and present, telling a story of continuity where wine is not just a product, but an art, a tradition, and an identity that belongs to the entire Abruzzo region and the Italian winemaking culture.

Among the vineyards of Valle Reale in Popoli, Sant’Angelo Extra Muros, a remarkable 12th-century building, has been brought back to life thanks to a careful restoration that honors its historical soul and original purpose. This is not a story that begins today. For more than eight centuries, Sant’Angelo Extra Muros has stood as a striking backdrop to the rows of vines, a timeless witness to a land long celebrated as a "place of wine”. The structure, built without foundations following the empirical anti-seismic techniques of its time, has masterfully withstood the numerous earthquakes that have shaken Abruzzo, bearing witness to the remarkable skill of its builders.
