The Abruzzi (a.k.a. Abruzzo) region of Italy is situated halfway up the “boot,” facing the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Appenine mountains to the west. Though on a map the area looks to be centrally located, it is has historically been considered part of the southern territory. The name derives from Listitieratu Aprutii, the name chosen by 12th century Emperor Frederick I, who founded the Kingdom of Southern Italy. Territorial claim passed through the centuries from Spain to Austria and then Napoleon’s French empire, ending in 1860 with Giuseppe Garibaldi’s victory that finally united Italy.
But let’s time travel a bit back to the Etruscan era around 6th century BC. Polytheism begs for wine, and there was much of it flowing in ancient Abruzzi. The vineyards were concentrated mainly in the Peligna Valley near what is now modern day L’Aquila. One of the favored wines was a sweet Moscato-based wine called Apianae.

Filomusi Guelfi Montepulciano Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2006
Snoothrank:
Perfume nose gives way to acidity upon palate. One can easily acquire a more satisfying Montepulciano at the same price. This one is simply residing in Middletown USA, or in this case, Middletown, Italy. Read More

Pozzi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2010
Snoothrank:
Deep, dark, almost black in the glass."Sour" nose--not promising. Very nice on the tongue. though. Fruity up front--currants, prunes. More layer as it rolls around. Some tannin ameliorates the fruitiness. Seems like it would be a good cheese wine. I'll try something, shortly. Very nice mellow finish. US$12.99 at Total Wines Read More

Capestrano Montepulciano Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2010
Snoothrank:
Very forward nose, with attractive aromas of spice, violet, black raspberry, plum and sweet earth seem to jump out of the glass and give you a good preview of whats going to hit your palate. In the mouth it leaves a jammy semi sweet flavor, that is not as heavy as the dark rich ruby color would indicate. A great value priced wine for about $20 t... Read More
