Wines made from Cococciola grapes of Abruzzo
Discover the best wines made with Cococciola as a single variety or as a blend of Abruzzo.
Crisp, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden colour, a lean palate and fresh acidity showing citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers, white-fleshed fruits and Adriatic mineral notes. Also made as fresh sparkling wines (spumante). Enjoying a quality revival among Abruzzese producers who vinify it as a single variety around Chieti.
Accessible, identity-driven Italian duo. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo as red: deep colour, intense aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices and balsamic notes, round tannins and a gourmet finish, from everyday to age-worthy Riserva. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOCG as a fleshy, fruity rosé (strawberry, pomegranate). Trebbiano d'Abruzzo as a straight white with citrus and white flowers, sublimated by a few cult producers (Valentini).
