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 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.
