Vintage report
The 2024 growing season in Abruzzo was shaped by the kind of climatic whiplash that has become increasingly familiar across central Italy: a wet spring that built good reserves in the soil, followed by a warm, dry summer that demanded careful canopy management and, in some cases, earlier picking decisions than producers had originally planned. The Adriatic influence kept things fresher along the coast, but the heat pushed hard through the interior. Overall, yields were down in places, which tends to concentrate minds as well as fruit.
It is still early days for 2024, and we are cautious about grand pronouncements, but what we have tasted is promising rather than epoch-making. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo shows the variety's characteristic grip and dark fruit with good freshness holding the structure honest, while Pecorino continues its quiet run of reliable, characterful form. Most reds will reward patience and are probably best approached from 2026 onwards, though the whites are drinking well now.
