ABRUZZO

Located a scenic two-hour drive east from Rome, the region of Abruzzo is marked by the soaring Apennines mountain range to the north, which buffers against storms and provides vineyard conditions similar to those of the central Italian wine regions of Tuscany and Marche. 
One of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world, Abruzzo is well known for its dominant varieties, the red Montepulciano D'Abruzzo grape and the white Trebbiano D'Abruzzo grape, and for nurturing lesser-known varietals like Passerina, Cococciola, and Pecorino.
The Montepulciano D’Abruzzo itself represents over 80% of the total denomination wines produced in Abruzzo, and is among the top three DOC wines produced in Italy. It is easy to recognize: an inviting deep ruby red colour, the unmistakable scent of red fruits, flowers and spices, the dry, soft, and balanced tannic taste, make the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo unique.
Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC is obtained from the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano Toscano grape varieties, in conjunction with other white grape varieties suitable for cultivation in the territory of the Abruzzo region. It's known for its scent of flowers and fruit, its freshness, with a dry and harmonious taste. The grapes destined for the production of Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC are obtained only from vines located on hilly or plateau land, whose altitude is not more than 500 meters.
