Arabian Wine and Ancient
Charm
In
the last century, the "Arabian wine" reached the tables
of Montefeltro: Antonio Pascucci, head of the family, imported the
"Exotic aroma" into the Conca valley and gave rise to a
passion destined to be handed own in time from father to son.
Mario
Pascucci in the early 20's successfully experimented the roasting
of coffee beans in tin pots... a new aroma, reminiscent of far away
lands, invaded the districts of Montecerignone, an ancient citadel
of the Montefeltro Family, a new flavor enriched a centuries-old tradition
of regional tastes.
Montecerignone, the Land of the Duke, gave rise to an authentic roasting
industry in the early 50's: Pascucci coffeeas become an institution.

Varieties: The most diffused coffee species
grown are Coffea Arabica and Coffea Robusta.
The Arabian species gives fine varieties
with lots of aroma and excellent taste: Santos,
San Domingo, Mocha, Haiti. The Robusta species
on the other hand gives a variety which is
very tough such as Angola, Costa Oro, Congo,
Indonesia...
