Abruzzo

Pietraia

Pietraia is a small Abruzzo label focused on the region's native grapes and organic farming. Abruzzo runs from the high Apennines down to the Adriatic, a place of warm days and cool mountain nights that suits its two signature varieties: the crisp, aromatic white Pecorino, revived from near-extinction a few decades ago, and the deep, generous red Montepulciano. These are honest, everyday wines made for the table, fresh and unfussy, and offered at a price that makes them easy to pour often.

Abruzzo is one of Italy's best-kept secrets, a land that tips from the snow line of the high Apennines down to the Adriatic in the space of a short drive. Warm days, cool mountain nights, wild and green. Pietraia is a small, organic-minded label that leans into all of it, working the region's two great native grapes.

There's Pecorino, the crisp, savoury white that was very nearly lost altogether a few decades ago and is now one of central Italy's most exciting revivals. And there's Montepulciano, the deep, dark, generous red that is Abruzzo's calling card. Both are made simply and honestly, with no gloss and no fuss.

These are wines for the table, not the trophy cabinet, fresh, characterful, and easy to keep coming back to. The kind of bottles that earn their place on a Tuesday night.

The Indent Offer.

Our pre-arrival offer is open. Under the en primeur system you reserve the wines before they reach Australia, and in return we hold them at heavily reduced indent prices for pre-payment. Quantities are limited, so orders are filled first come, first served.

To secure your indent order, you can purchase the wines below directly through the online store. Alternatively, to reserve any of these wines, you can call or email your order through to the team at Cottesloe. We will hold your bottles at the indent price, with payment required before the wines arrive in August, and confirm pick up or delivery once the container lands.
