Cerasuolo D'Abruzzo Wine - Rocca Ventosa

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is one of the region's most emblematic wines — a rosé that is never mundane, made from Montepulciano grapes vinified as a rosé using a precise technique that gives it its "cerasuolo," bright cherry-red color, and a character that pairs well with both appetizers and fish main courses.

This is Rocca Ventosa from Cantina Tollo, an Abruzzo cooperative from Tollo in the province of Chieti, one of the region's most established and recognized wineries. 2025 vintage, fresh, with clean fruity notes and an approachability that makes it the easiest wine to pair you'll find on the shelf. Serve at 10°C.

A tip from Fratelli Belfiore

<On a platter with ventricina and dried sausage, it's the most Abruzzese pairing you can make. If you want to serve it with fish, it also holds up beautifully to a summer grill. It's one of those wines that's never out of place.>
