L'ARIOSA COCOCCIOLA Abruzzo Cococciola DOC 2021

Cococciola is an ancient, peculiar but still little known grape variety of our region, whose typicality is closely linked to our production province, Chieti.

Since the early 2000s we have planted and rediscovered this grape variety with great satisfaction, grown in our marine estates in L'Ariosa, an uncontaminated area of ​​land extending close to the sea of ​​the Costa dei Trabocchi characterized by fresh and sandy soils, rich in a distinctly marine minerality and microclimate mitigated by the constant sea breeze.

The wine we get is extremely unique and strongly identifying; it is characterized by its delicate hints of fruit and aromatic herbs on the nose, which reveal a surprising and more marked personality on the palate: a wine of extreme freshness, sapidity and appreciable acidity. An authentic sip of the sea on a hot summer day.
