Febo Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo

from $23.99
Only 156 available

While made as a rosé wine, this Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is actually more like a light red wine thanks to the dark pigments of the Montepulciano grapes used, farmed on Febo family’s estate vineyards in Abruzzo.

The minimal intervention approach of this natural wine producer results in a lot of vintage variation year after year. For example, the 2021 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo has a cherry taste with a salty finish, and is considered a “serious” rosé wine while the 2024 is a Rosorange color that bursts with blood orange flavors mixed with cherry.

Region: Italy > Abruzzo > Spoltore & Chieti

Tastes Like: 2021 - Cherries | 2024 - Tart cherries and blood orange

Farming & Winemaking Highlights: Regenerative Agriculture | Sustainable Winery | Biodynamic | Native Yeast Fermentation | Vegan | Organic | Natural Wine

Fun Facts: Both vintages are fermented with native yeast and refined in the winegrower's grandparents' concrete vessels. Great chilled and a good pairing is eggplant parmesan.

About the Producer

After studying law in Bologna, Davide Febo decided about 5 years ago to home to Abruzzo to make natural wine with traditional abruzzese varieties as a family project, basing his farm & winery on vineyards his grandparents on both sides of his family maintained for years, in both Pescara and Chieti areas. Hence their wines have nuances, reflecting these 2 winemaking areas in Abruzzo. His wines are farmed and made organically, fermented in cement, relying on native yeast fermentation, and are unfiltered.
