Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore by Masciarelli is an icon of Abruzzo tradition, named after its typical cherry red color. Produced since 1986, it is made from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown at 400 m s.l.m. in S. Martino sulla Marrucina, on clay and limestone soils, using the Abruzzo pergola and Guyot training systems. After destemming and crushing, the skins remain in contact with the must for 12 hours at low temperature, before fermenting at controlled temperature and aging on fine lees until bottling. The result is a fresh, flavorful, and vibrant rosé, with intense aromas of fresh cherries, sour cherries, and pomegranate. On the palate, it is persistent and harmonious, perfect for pairing with meat dishes, fish, tomato pasta, vegetables, pizza, and fried foods. An exquisite gastronomic wine, elegantly telling the authenticity of the Abruzzo terroir.

Masciarelli Tenute Agricole
Masciarelli Tenute Agricole is synonymous with excellence in Abruzzese vitivinicola. Founded in 1981 by Gianni Masciarelli, a charismatic and visionary figure, the company has revolutionized the way of understanding wine in Abruzzo, bringing Montepulciano and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo to international stages. With over 60 plots of vines distributed in the four provinces of Abruzzo, Masciarelli cultivates a profound bond with his own land, valuing the pedoclimatiche peculiarities to enhance the character of each single vine.
Le sue sette linee – da Villa Gemma all'elegante Marina Cvetic – tells the story of an Abruzzo made of hills, mountains and sea breezes, where tradition, innovation and sustainability coexist harmoniously. The beating heart of the company is San Martino sulla Marrucina (CH), but the Castello di Semivicoli, today a relais of charm, represents the refined side of Abruzzo wine tourism.
Each bottle of Masciarelli is a tribute to the biodiversity of the "Green Region of Europe" and today you can discover it also on Vino45, an exclusive selection of great Italian wines. Per chi cerca autenticità, eleganza e una storia da bere.

Color: bright and intense cherry red, reminiscent of light ruby with pink hues. The clarity and chromatic vivacity testify to freshness and structure, distinctive characteristics of the Superiore typology.
Bouquet: wide and fine, with fruity notes of ripe cherry, wild strawberries and pomegranate, which harmoniously intertwine with floral sensations of dog rose and peony. More complex nuances of aromatic herbs, sweet almond and a light spiciness then emerge, a sign of a well-calibrated refinement.
Taste: full, enveloping and well-balanced. The soft entry develops with a pleasant freshness and a savoury vein that supports the drink. The structure is solid but fine, with a smooth tannin and a retronasal return consistent with the olfactory profile, which closes on a long and fruity finish.
