"Bacchus amat colles", the Latins used to say, and certainly the god of wine had to have a special predilection for Abruzzo, a region that experienced glorious moments for its viticulture, witnessed and immortalized by various writers of the time.
Even today, wine production has a great inftluence on the regional economy with many efforts to boost and modernize a quality potential that has not yet been fully expressed. Compared to some time ago, when Abruzzo was above all a large reservoir of musts and cut wines, things have changed, thanks to some producers who brought some wines obtained from montepulciano and trebbiano, the two vines that dominate Abruzzo vineyards, to compete with the best Italian products. Elegant and concentrated, rich in aromas and structured, they have nothing to do with products that were once exported to many Northern regions just to enrich the sugar content or the alcoholic strength of musts and wines.
From a quantitative point of view, the region remains at excellent levels, with about 2,652,000 hl of wine produced in 2009.
The Denomination of Origin wines are found in the highland areas of the Peligna valley, on the Eastern side of the Gran Sasso and the Teramane hills, where the montepulciano, (a red berry vine that covers almost half of the Abruzzo vineyards), the trebbiano toscano and trebbiano Abruzzese, very close to the white bombini, have found the best environment to express their qualities.

Climate and soil The influence of the sea mitigates the Abruzzo coastline, making the climate mild and Mediterranean. The interior part of the region has a more continental climate with cold Winters and very hot Summers. Rain and snow fall in abundance from the Winter period until Spring. A constant drought characterises the Summer.
History The Region began to call itself Abruzzo from the Latin Aprutium, in the Middle Ages, then later with the Kingdom of Naples it was divided into 2 parts: Abruzzo Ulteriore and Abruzzo Citeriore. In 1860 with the Unification of Italy, Molise was also annexed to the region, where it took the name of Abruzzi and Molise, from which it was separated in 1963.
Typical products The Abruzzo region, in recent years has produced different but good wines from the Montepulciano and Trebbiano vines, with excellent quality / price ratio. Controguerra, the last area to obtain the DOC in Abruzzo (1196) has already been noted is for its red wine, made with Montepulciano in combination with Cabernet Sauvignon and / or Merlot, and for the white from Trebbiano, Passerina and several other native vines. Among the best producers there are Dino Illuminati, Gianni Masciarelli, Camillo Montori and Orlandi Contucci Ponno.
Typical dishes Extra virgin olive oil production is growing strongly, especially in terms of quality, with the Aprutino Pescarese, the Colline Teatine and the Pretulziano delle Colline Teramane, all three PDOs. Some very popular first courses there are the fregnacce, homemade pasta cut into large pieces, topped with meat sauce and plenty of pecorino and the 'scripelle 'mbusse', a kind of crêpe rolled with grated cheese and served in chicken broth. Among other dishes to taste is the 'brodetto alla pescarese', prepared with redfish, skate, octopus, gattuccio, scampi, mussels, chilli, tomato and onion. The beans of Paganica are famous as are the cicerchie and lentils of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, the vegetables of the Fucino plateau, the red garlic of Sulmona. For desserts there is the 'cassone sulmonese', a sponge cake stuffed with crunchy nougat cream, 'cicerchiata', tiny, light, sweet dough balls first fried and then tied with honey, with the addition of coloured sprinkles, the calgionetti and fried desserts with cooked must and spices inside, sweet pizza made of sponge cake in layers soaked with Centerbe, coffee and alchermes, filled with vanilla and chocolate cream.
