Fossimatto - Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore DOC

The “fossimatto” Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore, with its unique color, captivates the eyes first and then the palate with a characteristic flavor of currant and raspberry. This is a unique wine of its kind, due to the color and complexity of the grape from which it comes.

With which red grapes is it made? The law prohibits mentioning it, but it is easy to imagine what it is. The name Cerasuolo comes from the Latin cerasum, that is cherry, with reference to its peculiar color, closer to some reds than to rosé wines in general. So to those who ask us why we do not approve the fashion of a dull and characterless rosé, we answer: I was crazy! This is Fontefico's “fossimatto”. from the vineyard plot to the well above sea level 120 m.
