In a nation of myriad appellations, the Abruzzi offers wine drinkers rare and refreshing simplicity.There are only two DOCs and precious few unclassified wines of note in a region that is two thirds mountains and one third hills with highly favourable natural conditions for grape vines. Growers favour the predominant Montepulciano for red and Trebbiano (generally for better quality wine this variety is in fact Bombino Bianco) for whites, source of their two regional DOCs. Growers also use some highly productive vines (the region has Italy’s highest average yields) for basic table wine and table grapes and some are experimenting without much success with international varieties.
