The history of the Barbas’ winery and family is engrossing and marks the course of entire epochs. The Barba family comes from afar and carries with it the legacy of ancient traditions. The first traces date back to fifteenth century Naples, a time when our ancestor Francesco Barba, abbot and canon under the pontificate of Sixtus IV, held the office of collector of papal tithes. Over time the Barbas moved to Abruzzo, in the province of Teramo: this information is confirmed by the records of the onciarian land registry that stated how a Carlo Barba in the middle of the eighteenth century, owned many properties in the town of Santa Margherita di Atri, in the plains of Casoli and in Fontanelle. That was the beginning of our landed property, of our history, to which the following generation will contribute remarkably.
