Abruzzo has always been a land of wine and sheep farming. And if the latest most famous and popular gastronomic expression is sheep arrosticini, speaking of wine the symbol is undoubtedly Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

A wine that steadily plays for the podium of the best sellers in the Italian large-scale retail trade with standard bearers such as Chianti and Lambrusco, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, the most famous of Abruzzo wines, was also the wine of emigrants who, particularly in the first part of the 20th century, brought their lives and their knowledge and food customs mainly to the United States, but also to Canada and beyond.
