The wine region of Controguerra
Abruzzese DOC (1996) in northern Teramo (Ancarano, Colonnella, Torano Nuovo), Adriatic maritime hills. Montepulciano leads in reds (~70% of Rosso) — fleshy and sun-drenched with ripe notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry and a hint of savoury herbs, supple tannins and moderate acidity. Cabernet and Merlot as structuring Bordeaux complements. Trebbiano and Passerina in lively whites with citrus, stone fruit and floral hints.
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: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
