Vinepair features Masciarelli’s Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo 2018 as both a refreshing and very drinkable wine. Notable for dark cherries, strawberries, mint, and a hint of lime oil for complexity, this rich and round Cerasuolo is both a top 25 rosé and one of five Cerasuolo wines to try. Read the story HERE.

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC
Perhaps the finest rosé production area in Italy, and one of the few appellations dedicated only to rosé, Cerasuolo has a long history of producing serious rosé, and showcasing how well the Montepulciano grape is adapted to rosé. Masciarelli first produced this wine in 1986, only 5 years after the winery was founded. With deep fruit and structure but no shortage of pleasure, it is a rosé you can take to the dinner table.

Led by the mother-daughter team of Marina Cvetić and Miriam Lee Masciarelli, the winery is the only one in Abruzzo to own land in all four provinces and produce wine from 100% estate-owned vineyards.
