Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC is a refreshing and full-bodied rosé wine (Rosato) made of the grape Montepulciano (85-100%) together with other local white grapes (0-15%). This wine can be extremely characterful. Its fresh fruit and acidity go perfectly with everyday pasta dishes and suppers.
Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC is named after the very brief contact there is between the grape skins and must (cirasce: local dialect for cherry), which indeed produces a distinctive, light, cherry-colored nuance. It has a pleasing, finely vinous, fruity, fine and intense scent. The taste is dry, soft, harmonious and delicate with an inviting, almondy aftertaste.
