The wine region of Colline Pescaresi
Abruzzo IGT (Pescara), clay-limestone hills between Apennines and Adriatic, temperate climate cooled by the sea. Liberal regulation from dry white to sparkling. Signature Montepulciano as ruling red: deep and fruity with black cherry, plum, blackberry, liquorice, herbs and spice, round tannins and meaty palate. White Pecorino star: taut and aromatic (pear, citrus, white flowers, salt).
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: Muscat blanc à petits grains
A white grape variety cultivated since antiquity on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is considered the noblest of the muscats. It is mainly used to make sweet wines, often from mutage. In France, it is the sole variety used in many natural sweet wines: muscat-de-frontignan, muscat-de-mireval, muscat-de-lunel, muscat-de-saint-jean-de-minervois, muscat-de-beaumes-de-venise, muscat-du-cap-corse. Combined with Muscat d'Alexandrie, it gives Muscat-de-Rivesaltes. It is also used to make sparkling white wines (clairette-de-die; moscato d'asti and asti spumante in Italy) and dry wines (alsace-muscat). Powerfully aromatic and complex, its wines evoke fresh grapes, roses, exotic fruits, citrus fruits and spices.
