Central Italy's Adriatic coast produces big, dark, full-bodied reds from the Montepulciano grape on limestone and clay soils in the Abruzzo hills. Excellent value for quality across the range, from everyday drinking to the profound Colline Teramane DOCG. The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo rosé is one of Italy's deepest and most distinctive.
