Abruzzo is one of the most exciting and interesting wine regions of Italy. With this video, I’ve teamed up with Kevin Day from Opening a Bottle. He and I traveled with a group of wine journalist to Abruzzo in the summer of 2023. It recent years, Abruzzo has transformed itself into a cutting-edge region with improved quality, while maintaining superb value. This video is a deep dive into the history, grape varieties, wine styles, along with a tasting of Pecorino, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

It is cool to see female owner operators..
If Italy is like the rest of the world I would assume that it is traditionally a male dominated industry..
Bob, thank you and your guest for the awesome presentation. Looking forward to more focused presentations just like this one.
That was awsome…
Never knew that Emidio Pepe, mad a white.. well the hunt is on. 😁
Fantastic dive into a great undervalued region. I’m a big cerasuolo fan for sure. Need to try some more pecorino too…. Chers.
Love the longform content, awesome stuff! I learnt a lot
It was great to watch it again, but nothing compares with the live stream. Hoping for the next!
I was dreading watching an >1hr video but I've actually enjoyed it so much that I didn't even notice the time passing and have not clicked once the advance button 😊 thank you for this beautiful video ❤
Inspired to retry Pecorino. I enjoy Montepulciano D'Abruzzo sometimes as an accompaniment to Italian fare. I would be interested in more sophisticated versions of it. I've sometimes considered it the Beaujolaisesque crowd pleaser style of Italy with sometimes cracking acidity and ultra bright red fruit all without being overly complex.
What is the relationship between Montepulciano d' Abruzzo and the Rosso Piceno and Rosso Conero wines?
Great video Bob! I have been drinking more Montepulciano d'Abruzzo since your last video, and I'm really enjoying them. Had to open another bottle while watching this video. Both of you two are extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken, making the hour long video enjoyable to watch . Thanks for all of your recommendations and sharing your wine knowledge. Salute!
Great content as always bob. Best wine YouTuber along with Wine For the People
This sends me straight to my lectures at uni, but I actually find it interesting. Really nice format Bob!
😊
Great content guys.
What type of wines come from the Finger Lakes region in New York State?? It's Hammondsport, NY.😊
Incredible video! Very informative and inspiring. Thanks guys!
Montepulciano may be via Latin: ‘mons pulcher’ > beautiful mountain …
I don't know how I missed this when you first posted! What a great exploration of Abruzzo with the two of you! I remember that conversation on Pecorino at lunch! This made me crave those Abruzzo wines (and the food), and it made me long for more conversations with you and Kevin!
