Collection: Abruzzo Wine Region

Abruzzo is a wine region located in southern Italy, known for producing a variety of high-quality wines from indigenous grape varieties. The region is situated in the central Apennine Mountains, and its rugged terrain and diverse microclimates provide ideal growing conditions for a range of grape varieties.

The most famous grape variety from Abruzzo is Montepulciano, which is used to produce the region's most famous wine, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. This red wine is known for its deep color, rich flavor, and robust tannins. Other notable red wines from Abruzzo include Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, made from Montepulciano grapes, and the lesser-known red wine, Montonico.

Abruzzo is also known for its white wines, with Trebbiano d'Abruzzo being the most famous grape variety. This white wine is known for its crisp acidity and fresh, fruity flavors. Other notable white wines from the region include Pecorino, Passerina, and Cococciola.

One of the unique aspects of Abruzzo's winemaking tradition is the use of traditional winemaking techniques such as appassimento, which involves drying the grapes before pressing them to produce a concentrated, complex wine.
