Abruzzo
Finding a winery in Abruzzo without Montepulciano is about as likely as finding a household in South Dakota without firearms.

Geologically and, above all, climatically, the region is one of the most exciting in Italy. There are just 50 kilometres between the Adriatic Sea and the two impressive mountain massifs of Gran Sasso and Majella, and this interplay of maritime and alpine influences is ideally reflected in the region's wines.
