Ponte Levatoio Sangiovese

It's hard to get more Italian than this red wine made from Sangiovese. It's no wonder this blue grape is the most widely planted in the vineyards of this Southern European country. Naturally, in the "larger" regions like Sicily, Veneto, Tuscany, and Puglia. But Italy has so much more to offer than the conventional wine regions. Consider Abruzzo, located in the central part of the "boot." Normally the home of Montepulciano, but thanks to the efforts of Ponte Levatoio, now also home to many other Italian grape varieties.

The wines of Ponte Levatoio

For a long time, Abruzzo wines were the underdog of Italian wines. People preferred established names and established brands. These days, the mostly small winegrowers of Abruzzo have worked incredibly hard, and everyone who drinks a glass of wine knows this region. However, it's not just small winegrowers who populate Abruzzo. The Ponte Levatoio winery is living proof. With a whopping 2,700 hectares of vineyards, we're dealing with a major player here. We're incredibly happy with this winery, because they clearly showcase the versatile power of Abruzzo to many wine drinkers.
