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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
