Colline Pescaresi is a specific Italian wine classification known as a Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC), which is a quality assurance label for Italian food products, particularly wines and cheeses. Based in the Abruzzo region, specifically in the province of Pescara, Colline Pescaresi DOC covers white and red blended wines.
The white wine is a blend that can include Trebbiano, Pecorino, Passerina, and other local white varietals. The red, on the other hand, is based on the Montepulciano grape and can be blended with several other local red varietals.
Colline Pescaresi DOC wines offer an abundant variety; other than the red and white, they also include sparkling and passito (dessert wine) styles. This wine region received its DOC status in 1995, allowing it to set regulations regarding the quality and provenance of its wines. The particular terroir of this region, with its slopes and altitude, is exceptional for producing grapes of high quality that result in wines with specific and unique characteristics.
