2025 Tiberio, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo

This 2025 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo from Tiberio is a benchmark rosé made from 100% Montepulciano grapes sourced from 50 plus year old vines, in the limestone-rich soils of Cugnoli. Cristiana employs a minimalist approach, using only free-run juice after a brief cold maceration and fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve the grape's pure expression. Cerasuolo is an Italian term that translates to "cherry red," referring to the wine's vibrant color rather than its flavor. This almost fuchsia-hued Cerasuolo is one you'll definitely want to serve with a light chill. Bright cherry and red berry on the nose, with a crisp, mineral finish that makes this the perfect summer red. The juicy, powerful notes of the Montepulciano grape shine through, delivering a rush of wild berries and a distinct texture from only 20 minutes of skin contact! It’s a wine that craves the company of a pizza, yet it will seamlessly pivot to pair with a hearty grilled fish.
