Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is a proper Denomination and Appellation, not a rosè of some other wine or appellation. Created in October 2010, the title covers the cherry-red, brightly flavored wines formerly labeled as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Cerasuolo. Most other rosès and rosati are made within an appellation as an addition to the other (classic) wines of the region. (Tavel is another exception. All Tavel is Rosé).

Cerasuolo D’Abruzzo must have specific characteristic of density (usually deeper than a rosé) and specific color intensity (deeper than rosé), with specific flavors of red fruits and light tannins in the palate.

In Abruzzo, many wineries produce a rosato outside the Cerasuolo D’Abruzzo appellation, that is lighter than Cerasuolo, made with 100% Montepulciano grapes.
