Abruzzo

Abruzzo is a wine region on Italy's Adriatic coast, known primarily for two appellations named after its principal grape varieties: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a deeply coloured, medium to full-bodied red wine with soft tannins and generous flavours of dark cherry, plum and a hint of spice, offering excellent value and approachability that has made it one of Italy's most widely exported red wines. Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, meanwhile, produces light, crisp white wines with citrus and green apple flavours, though some producers craft richer, more textured examples through extended lees contact. Abruzzo's combination of mountains and Adriatic coastline creates a varied climate well suited to both varieties, with many vineyards benefiting from cooling sea breezes. The region's wines reflect its hearty, rustic cuisine. Abruzzo wines pair well with grilled meats, tomato-based pasta, seafood and regional specialities.
