Francesco Cirelli Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo - 2022 (750ml)

Located in central Italy, the Abruzzo region (sometimes called â??Abuzziâ?) is characterized by its mountainous landscape and moderate climate. Despite the rugged terrain, Abruzzo produces nearly twice the amount of wine than neighboring Tuscany. Major Abruzzo varieties include the red Montepulciano grape, along with the white Trebbiano dâ??Arbuzzo and Trebbiano Toscano grapes. The Montepulciano grape, not to be confused with the region in Tucany, is known for producing deep, tannic wines with relatively low acidity levels. Trebbiano dâ??Abruzzo wines are dry and offer subtle fruit, delicate bouquets and refreshing acidity. Traditionally wine from Abruzzo had been mass produced by co-operative wineries, but the region has recently shifted toward boutique production and is receiving increasing recognition for their wines.
