Cerasuolo D'Abruzzo 2025

ORGANIC CERASUOLO D'ABRUZZO 2025 – Beautiful Cherry-Red Rosé – Juicy Red Berries, Fresh Cherries and Delicate Mineral Notes – Refreshing, Fruity and Wonderfully Versatile

Tenuta Tre Gemme Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2025 is a delicious organic Italian rosé from the hills of Abruzzo, produced by the family-owned Tenuta Tre Gemme estate near Pescara. Made from 100% Montepulciano grapes, this distinctive wine combines the refreshing character of a rosé with the richer fruit flavours and structure traditionally associated with Italian red wines.

Unlike the pale pink rosés of Provence, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is famous for its vibrant cherry-red colour. The name Cerasuolo derives from cerasa, the local word for cherry, perfectly describing both the wine's appearance and its characteristic aromas.

The Perrucci family has cultivated vineyards in Abruzzo for generations. Today, sisters Carla and Anna Perrucci manage the estate, combining traditional winemaking with modern techniques and a commitment to organic viticulture. Their approximately 70 hectares of certified organic vineyards lie between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso and Maiella mountains.

The grapes for this Cerasuolo originate from approximately 20-year-old vines at 450 metres above sea level, growing on limestone-rich, pebbly soils near Civitaquana. The combination of Mediterranean sunshine, cooling mountain breezes and significant day-to-night temperature differences contributes freshness, aromatic intensity and mineral character.

The 2025 displays a brilliant, luminous cherry-red colour and an expressive bouquet of fresh cherries, wild strawberries, raspberries and juicy red berries, complemented by delicate floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, lively and pleasantly rounded, offering vibrant red-fruit flavours, refreshing acidity, subtle minerality and a clean, lingering finish.

The wine is produced through a carefully controlled rosé vinification process. Following harvest in early October, the Montepulciano grapes undergo approximately 12 hours of skin contact at just 6°C, extracting the characteristic cherry-red colour and delicate fruit aromas without excessive tannins. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, preserving freshness and purity of fruit, followed by approximately three months of bottle refinement.

The 2025 vintage is particularly enjoyable for its youthful freshness, vibrant fruit and versatility. With more body and character than many conventional rosés, it is equally suitable as a refreshing aperitif or a serious companion to food.

A wonderfully distinctive Italian rosé – vibrant cherry-red colour, juicy red berries, refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral finish. An excellent choice for Singapore's tropical climate and a delightful alternative to both conventional rosé and lighter red wines.
