Tenuta Secolo IX

Abruzzo's Montepulciano and Pecorino, rated by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter.

The winery focuses on two grapes central to Abruzzo's identity: Montepulciano, a dark-skinned variety that yields structured reds, and Pecorino, a white of aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo—a rosé made from Montepulciano—demonstrates the grape's versatility and freshness. The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo offers the fuller expression of the region's signature red. Alongside these, the Pecorino white rounds out a portfolio rooted in regional tradition.
