Abruzzo

Wine · PDO · 191 municipalities

Recognized since 2011 across 191 municipalities, including Abbateggio and Acciano, the Abruzzo DOC provides a regional standard overseen by the Consorzio Tutela Vini d'Abruzzo. Unlike sibling designations, its base rosso requires at least 85% Montepulciano grapes and mandates no aging period, allowing release from January 1 of the year following harvest. This base wine allows a maximum yield of 18.5 tonnes per hectare with an 11.5% minimum alcohol volume. Crucially, the base DOC entirely excludes "riserva" or "superiore" categories; these designations are reserved exclusively for its four subzones, like Terre di Chieti, which enforce stricter varietal ratios.
