Discover the vibrant soul of Abruzzo with Kriya Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a stellar expression of the region's flagship Montepulciano grape. Produced by the pioneering Vigna Madre (Famiglia Di Carlo) estate—a leader in organic and biodynamic viticulture since 1991—this wine is a testament to the harmony between nature and traditional winemaking. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is famously known as Italy's 'serious' rosé; thanks to a short maceration on the grape skins, it boasts a beautiful, deep cherry-pink hue and a structure that bridges the gap between a light red and a classic rosé. On the nose, you are greeted by an intense bouquet of fresh cherries, wild red berries, and subtle floral notes, often with a whisper of tropical banana. On the palate, it is refreshingly dry, supple, and beautifully balanced, offering a tangy, mouth-watering finish that keeps you coming back for the next sip. This wine is incredibly versatile at the dinner table. It is the perfect partner for traditional Italian fare like pizza and pasta with tomato-based sauces, but its depth also makes it an excellent match for roasted chicken, grilled seafood, sushi, or even a selection of soft cheeses and charcuterie. Whether you are hosting a summer aperitivo or looking for a reliable, food-friendly wine for a weeknight meal, the Kriya Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo provides an authentic, sustainable, and sophisticated experience. By choosing this bottle, you are supporting one of Italy's most environmentally conscious estates, ensuring that every glass is as kind to the earth as it is to your palate.
Still learning to appreciate rosés, but the cherry notes feel familiar. It has a surprising structure, almost like a light red. A bit tangy for my taste, but interesting complexity.
