Tasting Notes
Made using the Méthode Ancestrale, this salmon-hued Pinot Grigio gains its gentle fizz from natural fermentation and ageing on lees. Cloudy in the glass, it bursts with wild strawberry and nectarine aromatics. The palate is juicy and fresh, with red berries, ripe peach, pear and a savoury, yeasty finish. - Pete L
Abruzzo has a winemaking history stretching all the way back to the Etruscans in the sixth century BC, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. These days it turns out reliable, approachable whites and reds for everyday drinking, along with some genuinely complex, ageworthy wines at the top end. You'll find it in central Italy on the Adriatic coast, with Molise to the south, Marche to the north and Lazio to the west.
Its terroir is varied and shaped heavily by the Apennines, with vineyards near the coast enjoying a moderating maritime influence while those further inland see a much wider swing between day and night temperatures. Clay is the dominant soil throughout. Trebbiano leads the whites with Pecorino close behind, while Montepulciano is the flagship red.
