"We're very satisfied with how the produce is looking. Grades are very high and garlic is healthy. We hope things will continue like this," reports Vittorio D'Alessandro.

D'Alessandro is well known on a national level for its considerable quantities, high-quality and packaging range. "In 2018, we aim at promoting ourselves to wholesalers and retail chains. The produce will be delivered from mid-June onward, after drying. We're already accepting orders though."
Distributors should choose red garlic from Sulmona because of "its unique aroma, colour and type of cultivation. Thanks to our microclimate, the produce stands out against other types of garlic."
The company sells its produce in three/four/five head nets, braids, jute sacks and nets.
"We're very pleased with how 2017 went, as we sold the produce in little time and at an excellent price. I believe purchasing an Italian product such as ours represents an added value."
