Villa Barcaroli 2023 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo
Fresh floral aromas rise from the glass, followed by white orchard fruit and a delicate citrus lift. The palate is crisp yet gently enveloping, with savoury detail balancing its clean fruit and bright acidity. Persistent and quietly elegant, it finishes dry, refreshing and well suited to seafood, salads and simply prepared pasta.
Villa Barcaroli 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Juicy red berries lead, joined by subtle spice and earthy, savoury depth. The palate is generous but unforced, with supple structure and natural freshness keeping the fruit lively. Stainless-steel ageing preserves its energy and purity, while a lightly rustic edge gives the finish character, balance and an easy affinity with food.
Citra 2025 Pinot Grigio Terre d’Abruzzo
Fresh pear and lemon zest lead a light, crisp palate built for refreshment. The fruit is clean and direct, with dry acidity giving it shape and keeping the finish brisk. Easygoing without feeling thin, it closes neatly on citrus and pear. Serve well chilled with seafood, grilled fish, antipasti or a simple salad dressed with lemon and olive oil.
Lammidia 2018 Sciambagn Sparkling White
Ripe fruit, apple and dried-fruit notes meet a light touch of honey and fresh yeast. Fine natural bubbles lift the palate, where bright acidity keeps the gentle fruit and low-alcohol frame refreshing. Bottle refermentation adds a lightly rustic texture, and the finish remains clean, lively and easy-flowing.
Lammidia 2018 Crick Sparkling Rosé
White cherry, lime peel and pink peppercorn open with water apple and marigold flowers. The palate is electric and brightly fruited, with luminous acidity and deep mineral drive carrying the natural bubbles. Early harvesting preserves freshness, while spontaneous fermentation builds a lively, lightly savoury texture through the crisp, energetic finish.
Tiberio 2024 Pecorino
Green fig and yellow melon open with rosemary and sage. The palate is round and full, then lifted by zesty acidity and a thread of mineral freshness. Mint, chamomile, candied citrus and tart green apple add detail before a long, crisp finish. A focused match for grilled fish, shellfish, herb-led pasta or fresh cheese.
Tollo 2025 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo
Pale gold in the glass, with citrus, white peach and pear joined by fresh herbs and flowers. The palate is dry, medium-bodied and bright, its clean fruit carried by lively acidity. A lightly spicy almond note brings savoury definition to the finish. Serve well chilled with grilled fish, soft cheese, shellfish or a simple herb-led pasta.
La Valentina 2015 Bellovedere Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Terre dei Vestini Riserva
Mentholated herbs, tobacco and anise frame a concentrated core of brandied cherry. The palate is medium-bodied, polished and bright, with red fruit folding neatly into measured barrel spice. Well-mannered tannins provide supportive structure, extending the fruit and savoury detail through an assured, composed, lingering finish.
Tiberio 2017 Archivio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP
Intensely aromatic yet composed, with smoky dark cherry and red cherry layered over spice, violet, rose and licorice. The palate is powerful but elegant, combining smooth texture with vibrant freshness and concentrated fruit. Fine structure gathers through the middle, while the finish remains long, poised and distinctly savoury rather than heavy.
Cirelli NV Vino da Tavola Rosso
Red cherry, raspberry and plum set a generous, immediately appealing tone, with oregano and other herbal notes adding a savoury edge. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, but a chewy texture and firm tannic grip keep the fruit from feeling simple. Fresh, energetic and food-friendly, it suits tomato-based pasta, grilled sausages, roast vegetables or hard cheese.
Cantina Tollo 2024 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Black fruit, prune, liquorice and spice lead a generous, dry red with a distinctly savoury edge. Present acidity keeps the medium body in balance, while smooth texture carries the dark fruit through a clean, warming finish. Straightforward but composed, it is well suited to duck confit, grilled pork, pizza or tomato-rich pasta.
