Our wine cellar

At the Country House Il Cascinale the cellar, as well as the wine list, favours regional typical products and, of course, the most renowned wines produced in Abruzzo.

Wine: the nectar of the gods celebrated by poets and writers anywhere and at any age.  Wine, that in the Mediterranean region is considered a precious product. For its flavour, its organoleptic proprieties, and the intimate, warm atmosphere that it creates, wine has been chosen by Italians as the king of local cuisine, since it can match every dish and make it tastier.

Il Cascinale has a rich wine list, with all the most renowned wines of Abruzzo and of other Italian regions. All wines are produced in companies carefully selected by the wine experts of our country house, in order to offer our guests special flavours and aromas.
