Description

Tenuta Cipressi Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is produced from 100% Montepulciano grapes from the Il Romano vineyard in Abruzzo. The certified organic and BioVegan estate uses south-southeast exposure vineyards at 280 meters elevation. Harvested in early September, the grapes undergo brief maceration on the skins before pressing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine ages in steel before bottling with minimal sulfites.

Tasting notes

Pale cherry pink with coral reflections. The nose offers wild strawberry, red currant, pomegranate, and white flower aromas. On the palate, red berry flavors combine with mineral notes and vibrant acidity. The finish is clean and refreshing with persistent fruit and subtle herbal undertones.

Pairs with Italian prosciutto e melone, seafood salad, grilled fish, bruschetta, caprese salad, fried calamari, pizza margherita, and fresh Mediterranean cuisine.

Wine region

Abruzzo, Italy

Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Abruzzo represents one of Italy's most underrated wine regions. This rugged territory, located in central Italy, produces exceptional wines offering remarkable value for Italian wine enthusiasts.

Abruzzo's diverse landscape creates ideal conditions for viticulture. The region benefits from a unique microclimate where cool mountain air meets warm coastal breezes, resulting in wines with pronounced aromatics and balanced acidity. The calcareous clay soils, particularly in the hillside vineyards, contribute to the mineral complexity found in both red wines and white wines from this region.

The region's wine identity centers on two indigenous grape varieties. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the flagship red, produces robust, age-worthy wines with dark fruit flavors and soft tannins. Despite its name, this grape differs entirely from Tuscany's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For white wine lovers, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo offers crisp, refreshing wines perfect for seafood pairings.

The prestigious Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a rosé made from Montepulciano grapes, deserves special mention. These deeply colored rosé wines showcase cherry notes and surprising structure, challenging preconceptions about rosé's complexity.

Many wineries practice organic viticulture, recognizing that sustainable practices enhance terroir expression. Small family estates work alongside larger cooperatives, each contributing to Abruzzo's growing reputation.

For those exploring Italian wine regions, Abruzzo offers exceptional quality-to-price ratios. From everyday table wines to age-worthy reserves, this region proves that outstanding Italian wines exist beyond Tuscany and Piedmont.
