Abruzzo

The mountainous region of Abruzzo on Italy's Adriatic coast is known for one wine above all others: the deliciously food-friendly Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Loved for its deep ruby color, soft tannins and plummy-cherry juiciness, this classic Italian red boasts a subtly smoky finish that makes it loved worldwide. Its easygoing quality is thanks to Abruzzo's ideal conditions for growing grapes. Vines spread from coastal plains to mountain slopes, enjoying a warm climate and wide variation between day and night temperatures, which help fruit ripen with excellent balance and potential. Fans of white wine will enjoy Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. This wine is light and refreshing, with plenty of crisp acidity and subtle citrus notes.
