Food & Wine
Abruzzo is Italy’s Queen to Emilia Romagna’s more famous King of Italian Food. A healthier more piquant tradition of ‘Italian cooking’ which more often than not is based around the organically grown ingredients that vary according to season straight from the orta or delivered by the local mobile veggie van.
From shepherd inventions of bruschetta & pecorino cheese to the pasta produced in dried pasta capital of Italy, Fara San Martino high in the Maiella Mountains its dishes are worth exploring for any food lover. Through the love and attention of many small wine growers like Emidio Pepe or cooperatives like Cantina Tollo the region’s wines have come in from the cold. Go to any good restaurant & look at their wine list and you’ll find Mountepulciano d’Abruzzo, Trebbiano, Cerasuolo or Pecorino.
