Cerasuolo D’Abruzzo DOP is a different interpretation of this important grape variety and is presented as an extremely interesting and particular wine due to its strong personality.

Today it is certain that the two grape varieties have nothing in common. It is grown mainly in Abruzzo and in the other central-southern regions. Today, thanks to the careful work of some producers and oenologists, Montepulciano has emerged as one of the highest quality red vines.
