It all began with two very young entrepreneurs, Angela and Ercole Velenosi. It was 1984. The company's headquarters is located in Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of the Marche region, about 20 kilometres from the Adriatic coast, at an altitude of about 200 metres above sea level. The company's estates are located in the hills, where clayey and fertile soils have always been considered ideal for the cultivation of vines. Four separate farms located in Ascoli Piceno, Castorano, Monsampolo del Tronto and Castel di Lama, with a vineyard in the area of Ancarano, in the province of Teramo, and one in the area of San Marcello, in the province of Ancona, in the Castelli di Jesi. Velenosi wines are often awarded by the most severe national and international critics and are distributed in more than 52 countries in the world. Today the total production is around 2 and a half million bottles per year. But, as the company says, the projects in the pipeline are not finished yet.
