Scarpone
Scarpone is located in Abruzzo, the rugged region of central Italy where Montepulciano thrives on hillside vineyards. The winery's flagship wine, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane, draws from one of the region's most prestigious subzones. Montepulciano, Abruzzo's signature red variety, produces wines with dark fruit character and structured tannins suited to the region's continental climate and limestone-rich soils. The Colline Teramane designation reflects the specific terroir of the Teramo hills, where elevation and exposure shape the grape's ripening. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated Scarpone's expression of this varietal, anchoring the winery within the critical conversation around Abruzzo's modern red wine production.
