The wine region of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo
DOC of Abruzzo, first Italian appellation dedicated exclusively to rosé (2010). Montepulciano signature (min. 85%) in short maceration on pigmented skins. Signature serious structured rosés with signature notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, citrus and a spicy touch, round and fresh palate — often considered one of Italy's finest rosés.
The wine region of Abruzzo
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).
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
