Tenuta Secolo IX
Tenuta Secolo IX produces wines from Abruzzo, the rugged region of Central Italy known for its indigenous varieties and mineral-driven character. 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. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have rated the winery's releases, with the Cerasuolo and Pecorino earning particular recognition among prestige critics.
