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.

2025 Abruzzo Pecorino

Pecorino · Abruzzo DOC

Indent price: $19.00 per bottle

Pecorino is one of central Italy's revived treasures, a native white grape pulled back from near-extinction and now prized for its freshness. This organic Abruzzo example is crisp and aromatic: pear and white peach, a citrus-peel lift and a stony, herbal finish. Bright and unoaked, it is built for the table, at home with seafood and a sunny afternoon alike.

2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Montepulciano · Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC

Indent price: $19.00 per bottle

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is Italy's great everyday red, deeply coloured and generous, and this is a friendly, well-priced example. Ripe black cherry and plum, soft tannins and a juicy, savoury finish, it asks for nothing more than a plate of pasta or a pizza. Easy, satisfying and built for drinking rather than keeping.
