Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Characteristic

Terroir

Thanks to its strategic location, the region benefits from significant temperature variations between day and night, which, combined with good ventilation, provide the vines with an ideal microclimate for growing and producing grapes of extraordinary quality. Montepulciano, for example, has long been considered one of Italy’s great red grape varieties.

Clime

Abruzzo can be divided into two zones: the mountainous inland area, which enjoys a continental climate and constitutes over 65% of the entire region, and the coastal area with its broad hilly belt and mild climate.

Grapes

The grapes of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo are mainly the Montepulciano grape, a black grape indigenous to Abruzzo. There are also Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and Pecorino.
