Abruzzo is a mountainous wine region in central Italy, bordered by the Adriatic Sea, known for its rugged terrain and diverse microclimates. It is best known for Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, a deeply colored red wine made from the Montepulciano grape, offering rich dark fruit flavors and approachable tannins. The region also produces fresh, citrusy white wines from the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo grape. Though historically associated with bulk wine, Abruzzo is increasingly gaining recognition for its quality-driven producers and age-worthy wines from higher elevations.
