In recent decades, Abruzzo viticulture has made significant progress in terms of quality growth. Thanks to the constant and omnipresent work of development of the territory and its indigenous vineyards carried out by a new generation of producers, its wines receive continuous recognition both in Italy and abroad, registering an increasingly keen interest from the markets.
The wines of Abruzzo are also part of The Charming Taste of Europe campaign, a unique project that connects the flavors of wine from Italy and France, as well as fresh fruit from Greece, and introduces the United States and Canada to these exquisite items that evoke all of Europe’s beauty and grace. The campaign is co-funded by the European Union and aims to promote the merits of European agricultural products, such as quality, tradition, traceability, safety and high production standards. Quality is one of the greatest assets of the producers across the EU in their attempt to meet the consumer demand, to increase the competitiveness of the EU products on US and Canada markets.
