For as long as I can remember with this business, members have been asking me to bring home the goods from Abruzzo.

And I don’t blame them - Abruzzo is home to some of Italy’s smoothest and richest reds. The whites are seriously underrated too - from the Pecorino and Trebbiano grapes.

I’ve been tasting wines from here for years, and Tiberio is on another level. The quality, charm and complexity here are everything you’d look for in great Italian wine.

And after learning more from winemaker Cristiana, there’s good reason for it:

Her vineyards sit high up in the hills of Cugnoli, 350m above sea level, where cool nights and Adriatic breezes keep the grapes balanced and fresh

Her winemaking CV is impeccable - Jacques Selosse, Nicolas Joly, Egon Müller - so she’s learnt from the best

Along with her brother Antonio, she’s a fierce defender of her land and heritage, working with only native varieties and farming without irrigation, fertilisers or any other shortcuts - letting the vines speak for themselves and through the wines.

Cristiana is exactly the type of winemaker I built WineSpark for - incredible talent, unmatched passion, and quality and value in spades.

So make sure you try the wines to see why the wine world is so excited about her!
