Item # 36795

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a deep hue of ruby in color and is technically a rosé but is so much more than what this typically means. This is a wine of depth made from the Montepulciano grape yet only macerated on the dark skins for a short period of time to get this crystalline ruby color. On the palate, you get lush dark berried fruits, minerals and a great structure that can hold up to the most delicious of rich meals. Drink just barely chilled. Aged for one year in large Slavonian casks.

Staff Pick Notes

This is not your average pale, light-bodied, watery summer rosé. Not even close. This is a gorgeous, richly textured, and complex wine made from the Montepulciano grape, that deserves your full and undivided attention. Deeper colored than most rosés, it's also much more flavorful, with primary notes of cranberry, grapefruit, and raspberries as well as earthy minerality and a slight touch of petrol. Wow! Crisp acidity, rich body, intense flavor, grown from organic grapes. It's got it all. Serve lightly chilled, not ice cold.

Two-thirds mountains and one-third hills, it boasts highly favorable natural conditions for the cultivation of grapes. Abruzzi is most famous for its beautiful expressions of the red Montepulciano and the white Trebbiano, though many winemakers are now beginning to experiment with other grape varietals as well.

Montepulciano

This rugged red staple can be anything from a simply fruited, easy-drinking wine to a serious, more structured offering, complete with all the depth and earthiness that can come from old-vine fruit and ideally placed vineyards. Montepulciano d'Abruzzi is produced in the region of Abruzzi from the Montepulciano grape, and is not to be confused with Tuscany’s Sangiovese-based Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Many of the modern incarnations of Abruzzi’s favorite red wine are bigger, more structured,...
