Region

Abruzzo

Stepping into Abruzzo is a step back in time. With medieval palaces, walled cities and fortresses galore, this preserved Renaissance region is as captivating as their wine. With only half the vineyard land as regions like Tuscany, Abruzzo still produces just as much wine. The warm climate and fertile soils in Abruzzo provide the perfect growing environment. Home to the infamous Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG, their native reds are powerful and tannic, yet their whites can be delicate and floral. Olives are also grown just as widely as grapes here. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Abruzzo is next level, bread dipping bliss.
