Tasting Notes
An absolute winner here. This is Sangiovese from Abruzzo that's juicy, mid weight and the perfect mid week drink. There's lot of the typical cherry character you get from Sangiovese backed up with a little herbal character that makes this a really food focussed wine. This is going to work with a lot of foods and also be a mid week star on it's own. - 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.
