Ovid wasn’t just a Latin poet, he also had a good “nose” for food and wines. In fact he tells us how much he loved, during the Roman Imperial Age, the vineyards of Pegna valley in the region of Abruzzo.
Also the famous wine specialist of San Elpido al Mare, Andrea Bacci, during the Renaissance period gives testimony of the great production of the Aquilano, and of the marvellous qualities of the red and white wines of Avezzanese.
Today, after the centuries that the excellent vines of Abruzzo have contributed to the development of other Adriatic regions, from the land of the writer D’Annunzio, first-rate wines are born and produced. In particular, the classics Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo.
