Description

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC of the Linea Vigna Corvino from the Az. Agricola Contesa represents an elegant expression of the Montepulciano grape variety, cultivated in the evocative hills of Abruzzo. This wine stands out for its characteristic intense cherry pink color, from which the name “Cerasuolo” is inspired.

Vinification takes place through a brief maceration of the skins, which allows the extraction of aromaticity and structure without weighing down the sip. Aging in steel preserves freshness and fruity integrity, enhancing aromas of fresh strawberry, cherry, and delicate floral notes, with a harmonious and slightly savory finish.

On the palate it is lively and balanced, ideal to pair with typical dishes of Abruzzo cuisine, such as pasta with meat sauce or fish-based dishes that are not too structured. A refined rosé that celebrates the territory and its winemaking traditions with authenticity and freshness.

Winery history

Contesa was founded as a winemaking project linked to the Pasetti family; online sources describe the central role of Rocco Pasetti and his family in managing the estate. The cellar carved into the hillside was completed in the 2000s, and from there the estate developed several ranges of wines focused on the grape varieties typical of Abruzzo.

Production philosophy

Production aimed at enhancing the Abruzzo terroir and employing low-impact winemaking practices: selective use of wood, controlled fermentations, and attention to preserving the freshness of native grape varieties. Sources also report a commitment to sustainability and a transition to organic practices and environmental certification.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards in the Collecorvino area, on the hills northwest of Pescara: favourable south-facing exposure, clay-limestone soils and elevations of around 250 m above sea level; conditions considered suitable for Montepulciano and other local grape varieties.
