Territory and wine style

This Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is born in Loreto Aprutino, in the province of Pescara, from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown in clay-limestone soils at about 250 meters above sea level. The wine's profile well reflects the soul of inland Abruzzo: a generous fruity material, supported by vibrant freshness and an immediate, yet not trivial, drinkability. The processing in cement and aging in amphora contribute to preserving clarity and momentum, keeping the wine consistent with the tradition of Cerasuolo while also being very current in style.

Tasting notes

In appearance, it presents a bright and intense cerasuolo red. The olfactory profile is rich with hints of pomegranate, blueberry, and poppy flower, with a candied nuance that makes the bouquet softer and more inviting. On the palate, the sip is lively, crunchy, and smooth, with a well-perceived freshness and a round finish that sweetens the tasting progression. It is a rosé with good personality, agile but with sufficient structure to support even flavorful pairings.
