Food & wine

During a vacation in an apartment, village, resort or hotel in Tortoreto Lido, Alba Adriatica or Martinsicuro, the tourist can deepen his knowledge with the discovery of landscape and artistic heritage, covering food & wine itineraries, just like “Le strade dei sette colli”, which permit to value hill’s cultivations and the characteristic local products, such as fresh and aged cheese, extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, home-made pork meats, and the great wines of Abruzzo: Trebbiano, Cerasuolo and Montepulciano.

The healthy nature of Abruzzo influences definitely local cuisine and food production. Those who want to pick up the opportunity to spend their beach holidays in Italy, in the northern coast of Abruzzo, to buy good traditional food should buy olive oil, cheese, wines, sausages, honey, liquors and other specialties. Reaching a table, you can appreciate a simple but genuine cuisine.

No other region of Italy made in the last years such important progresses in wine making like Abruzzo. As evidence to these facts, the growing interest for Abruzzo-DOC wines in the European market, there are the numerous international acknowledgments collected from the best local wine-producers in the last years. The traditional wine-grapes of Abruzzo are “Montepulciano” (red-wine) and “Trebbiano” (white-wine). Since a couple of years they are also flanked by Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Aglianico, San Giovese and Pinot. The most important producing areas are the valley of Pescara and the hills of Teramo, Pescara and Chieti. The regional wine list DOC includes: the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (in the variety red and Cerasuolo), fragrant and with a dry and robust savor; the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, dry and with a delicate perfume, and the Controguerra, a white wine particularly fruity produced in the Teramo-valley.

For a memorable holiday in the Abruzzi region, in central Italy, characterized by sun, sea and good food, choose one of the accommodation in Abruzzo proposed by Costa dei Parchi: you will have the chance to taste these delicacies in a marvelous setting!
