Barone Cornacchia

Montepulciano-focused producer from Abruzzo's limestone terroirs.

Barone Cornacchia produces wines from Abruzzo, the mountainous region of Central Italy where Montepulciano thrives in challenging terrain. The winery's portfolio centers on this native variety, which yields structured reds with dark fruit character and mineral tension—hallmarks of the region's limestone and clay soils. The Vizzarro Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva represents the upper tier of expression, aged to develop complexity and depth. The Cerasuolo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a rosé variant, captures the variety's bright acidity and red-fruit profile in a lighter frame. Poggio Varano Montepulciano d'Abruzzo rounds out the core range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff, reflecting their standing within the critical establishment.
