The Abruzzo is Italy's greenest region. 36% of its area is protected – comprising three national parks, one regional park and over thirty nature reserves. Valle Reale lies precisely where the Gran Sasso in the north, the Majella in the south and the Sirente-Velino in the north-west meet. The Cerasuolo is produced from the same vineyards near Popoli and Capestrano that also yield the estate's great red wines – Demeter-certified, on stony soils with excellent drainage, swept by the cool winds from the mountain passes and characterised by marked day-night temperature variations. The grapes for the Rosato are harvested earlier than those for the Montepulciano rosso – deliberately so as to preserve the freshness of the acidity. In the cellar, only indigenous yeasts are used, activated using the pied-de-cuve method: no intervention unless absolutely necessary.

A bright cherry pink. On the nose: sour cherry, strawberry, wild flowers and a mineral freshness. On the palate: dry and lively, with juicy acidity and a long, salty finish. A rosé that remains true to its mountains. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2025 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo has a pretty bouquet of crushed roses, white cherries and complementary sweet sage. Soft-textured and energetic, its crisp wild berry fruits lead to a tactile crunch toward the close. A tart cranberry saturation and a sweet-and-sour sensation mark the finish." Vinous
