Nestled between the Gran Sasso, the Majella and the Adriatic sea, on the border between the Marche and Molise, for everyone Abruzzo has become a linchpin region between northern and southern Italy and a bridgehead for the Balkans. "Abruzzo, strong and gentle", is how we have always been described. Strong because we have stayed tied to our roots and, at the same time, offer a gentle welcome to the different customs of thousands of visitors. A trip to Abruzzo is a chance to discover historical and religious pageants of great appeal, charming villages and castles of all ages, but above all to find an unspoilt natural environment: three National Parks, two regional parks and eleven national and regional nature reserves, to which recently it became a part of the marine National park "costa dei trabocchi,   have resulted in Abruzzo being elected "green region of Europe".

In the same way, we have jealously safeguarded age-old gastronomic traditions, closely tied to religious festivals and to agrarian and seasonal places and rites. A cuisine that of Abruzzo that has always been considered "poor" or better still "plain", used to using products of a land favoured by mild weather and environmental conditions. From seafood to mountain agro-pastoral specialities, a triumph of flavours and perfumes accompanied by a glass of cool Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, fruity Cerasuolo, or full-bodied Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
