Abruzzo's generous red — dark cherries, soft tannins and great value.
Don't confuse the grape with the Tuscan town: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is made from Sangiovese. Montepulciano the grape is the pride of Abruzzo on Italy's Adriatic coast, where it makes deeply coloured, plummy, soft reds — and Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, a vivid cherry-pink rosé.
