Abruzzo Friuli Puglia
Tucked along the eastern coast of Italy, Abruzzo is one of Europe’s greatest gems, home to breathtaking landscapes, delicious regional cuisine, and of course, characterful and stunning wines. Though Italy as a whole has long been known around the world for its winemaking prowess, it’s only in recent years that Abruzzo has captured the hearts of U.S. consumers, making it an exceptional discovery for many.

Piedmont is Italy’s second largest geographical region and the country’s seventh largest wine-producing region. Approximately 45,000 hectares of Piedmont’s 25,399 square kilometers are under vine. Piemontese wine makes up 5 percent of Italy’s national production and almost 18 percent of the country’s total exports. Most of the region’s wine comes from small vineyards in which the growers also make the wine. In Barolo and Barbaresco, the region’s most revered winemaking areas, the average vineyard is only about five acres with an output of approximately 10,000 bottles a year. Source SevenFiftyDaily
Puglia is a long, thin wine region in the far south-eastern corner of the 'boot' of Italy. Where the north is slightly hillier and more connected to the customs and winemaking practices of central Italy, the south is almost entirely flat and retains a strong connection with its Greco-Roman past. Puglia lends itself to division into three rough viticultural areas, which correspond neatly to its administrative provinces: Foggia in the north, Bari and Taranto in the middle and Brindisi and Lecce in the south.

Ratings & Reviews
Title | Item | Vintage | Publication | Score | Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Le Perle della Campagna | Primitivo | 2022 | 89 | The floral, perfumed nose features notes of wild strawberries and cherries, along with a savory, fresh point of contrast from topsoil. The palate is also defined by that balance between fruit and earthy astringency, while substantial acid flows through chalky tannins. | |
Le Perle della Campagna | Montepulciano d'Abruzzo | 2021 | 88 | This crowd-pleasing wine starts with a balanced nose featuring both sparkling savory notes of fresh earth, leather, tar and pepper and the fruit of cherries and blackberries. On the palate, that invigorating tension continues beneath swirling clouds of chocolate and vanilla. |
