Abruzzo
Main grapes: Montepulciano
Sub-regions: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Climate: Just south of Marche, Abruzzo is also on the eastern face of the Apennine Mountains, enjoying the warmth of a hot climate combined with sea breezes and altitude for some cooling influences.
You should know... These Montepulciano wines are rich in black fruit flavours and are chocked full of colour and tannin. They won’t quite knock you side ways like the Super Tuscans or the Brunello di Montalcinos as they’re a little more simple often unoaked.
