Description

Discover the vibrant charm of Rube Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, an exceptional expression of Italy's Abruzzo region crafted by Codice Citra. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a unique category of Italian rosato that stands apart from typical pale, Provençal-style rosés. Thanks to the highly pigmented skins of the native Montepulciano grape, this wine boasts a brilliant, deep cherry-pink hue that hints at the intensity within. Unlike lighter rosés, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo offers a structure and complexity that often mirrors a light-bodied red wine, making it incredibly versatile at the table. On the nose, you are greeted by an inviting bouquet of fresh red berries—predominantly cherry and strawberry—interwoven with delicate floral notes like petunia. On the palate, it is refreshingly juicy and harmonious, balancing crisp acidity with a persistent, fruit-forward profile that keeps you reaching for another glass. It is a true 'gastronomic' wine, making it the perfect companion for a wide array of dishes. Its versatility allows it to shine alongside everything from traditional Italian appetizers and charcuterie to grilled white meats, shellfish, or even a classic truffle pizza. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party or looking for an elegant wine to pair with a cozy autumn dinner, this Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a fantastic choice that highlights the authentic spirit of Abruzzo. Enjoy it slightly chilled to fully appreciate its crisp, lively character.
