Abruzzo: the beating heart of Italian viticulture
Hidden between the majestic Apennine mountains and the enchanting coasts of the Adriatic Sea, the region of Abruzzo is a true gem of Italian viticulture. With its deep roots in wine history, Abruzzo has been able to preserve and enhance its winemaking traditions, offering a range of wines that tell the story, passion, and dedication of local winemakers.
Abruzzo viticulture is characterized by the use of native grape varieties that thrive in this unique terroir, influenced by the cool sea breezes and mountain temperature variations. Among the undisputed protagonists is Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a full-bodied and enveloping red that embodies the essence of the land from which it comes. Its grapes, primarily cultivated in the provinces of Chieti, Teramo, Pescara, and L'Aquila, best express the robust and generous character of the region. With aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries, and plums, accompanied by spicy notes and well-integrated tannins, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an ideal companion for meat dishes and aged cheeses.
No less fascinating is Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, a fresh and versatile white wine, known for its ability to combine elegance and structure. Its grapes, cultivated on well-exposed hilly terrains, give rise to a wine with a delicate bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits, and yellow-fleshed fruits, with a pleasant acidity that makes it perfect for accompanying fish and vegetable dishes.
The region is also famous for the production of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a lively and fragrant rosé, obtained from the same grapes as Montepulciano. This wine, with its characteristic color and aromas of wild strawberries and pomegranate, is ideal for those seeking a fresh and fruity alternative for hot summer days.
Abruzzo is not only synonymous with great wines but also with a rich and varied food and wine culture that invites you to discover the authentic flavors of a generous land.
