Abruzzo, Wine Region of The Year : The Wine Star Awards Ceremony Went On Stage in San Francisco

The prestigious award given by Wine Enthusiast magazine places Abruzzo among the leading wine areas of the world. Innovation and tradition, combined with natural beauty and sustainability, are the trump cards of a region strongly suited to winemaking.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The prestigious title was awarded to Abruzzo, as the organizers explained, because "the region is rich in tradition and imbued with innovation, a hidden gem for the most passionate oenophiles". The prize is given by the prestigious international magazine Wine Enthusiast to the most interesting nominees in several categories within the wine world.

Wine Enthusiast's recognition was a tribute to an uncontaminated territory, as described by the president of the Consorzio Tutela Vini d'Abruzzo, Alessandro Nicodemi, during the Wine Star Awards ceremony, which took place on Monday in the splendid setting of the majestic Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. He noted "hills of a thousand shades of colors and dotted with ancient villages, where the landscape has always been dominated by vines, set between the Adriatic Sea and the massifs of the Gran Sasso of Italy and the Majella. Within a few kilometers, imposing mountains and a stunning sea, naturally create the pedoclimatic conditions that are favorable to the cultivation of the vine ". These are the ideal conditions allowing hundreds of increasingly competitive companies to contribute daily to elevate the wines and vines of Abruzzo in the world wine scene.
