Valle Reale, Abruzzo, Italy

This winery which has really been making the headlines. The winery is based in a beautiful national park (Canestro Valley) and bears and wolves can often be sighted in amongst the vines.The high altitude and cooler climate (not too mention state of the art winery) lead to wines with much more polish and class than most of the regions wines. Their “basic” Vigne Nuove 2004 was voted best value red in the whole of Italy by the Gambero Rosso. Their Cerasuolo was the first Rose ever to achieve 90 points from Parker.
