Appellation Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo - DOC

Recognized since 1968, this appellation primarily spans the provinces of Chieti, Pescara, L'Aquila, and Teramo, offering a diversity of landscapes that influence the unique character of each wine produced here.

Abruzzo is best known for Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a robustly structured red wine made from the Montepulciano grape. This wine is celebrated for its intense aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and smooth tannins, creating a rich and lingering taste experience.
