About Abruzzo

With the Apennine mountains to the west and the Adriatic sea to the east, Abruzzo is one of Italy’s most stunning regions. Almost half of the region is national parks and nature reserves, which helps paint a picture of just how untouched this part of Italy is. Still wild and unspoilt, its fantastic food reflects the simple agriculture practises that have shaped the area. The traditional cuisine of Abruzzo is eclectic, drawing from pastoral, mountain, and coastline. The most iconic element is the abundance of lamb. Abruzzo also has an ancient winemaking tradition, known predominantly for Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, the region-wide denomination for red wines made from this grape, while Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is the denomination for the region’s rose wines made from the same variety. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is the main white grape. Other varieties include chardonnay, cococciola, passerina, pecorino and sangiovese.
