De Fermo

Abruzzo, Italy


The story of how De Fermo was founded in 2010 by Stefano Papetti Ceroni and his wife Eloisa de Fermo, is one of passion and fortuity. 


While studying law in Bologna, Stefano met his wife Eloisa who shared his passion for wine.  Seven years after they met, they visited the Fermo farm in Abruzzo which had been in her family for generations.   Not expecting much, Stefano was shocked to discover a sprawling, ancient property with a rich history. Stefano fell in love with the farm,  spending every weekend in Abruzzo, learning from the contadini hired by Eloisa's family to run the property. 

He eventually asked his father-in-law if he could manage a hectare of vines to teach himself viticulture, while practicing law in Bologna.  Later he would explore an abandoned farmhouse on the property and found that it was actually once a cantina.  He restored the cantina and eventually the couple made the leap to winemakers, and then full biodynamic farm, making interesting local varieties from low yielding old-vines.
