Rosé Wines from Abruzzo – Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo
Abruzzo is renowned for its traditional rosé style – Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo. Unlike typical pale rosés, this wine offers a deeper color, more intense fruity aromas, and a fuller flavor profile. It is mainly produced from the Montepulciano grape, which gives it structure and characteristic cherry notes.
