Est. delivery in late summer, 2026 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is one of Italy's most misunderstood wine styles — it is not a rosato by accident or by surplus, but a deliberate, proud expression of Montepulciano made with serious intent. Ciavolich, one of the oldest estates in Abruzzo with roots going back to 1853, makes theirs with the confidence of a family who knows exactly what they're doing. The colour alone - that vivid cherry-cerise that gives the appellation its name - tells you this is something different from a pale Provençal blush. On the palate, it delivers bright red fruit, a clean saline mineral quality, and a dry, focused structure that makes it extraordinarily versatile at the table.
