The majority of the region's wine production is in Chieti province and some of the first bottles of Montepulciano that received the coveted DOC denominazione di origine controllata quality assurance label are on display at the EnoMuseo wine museum in Tollo Via Cesare Battisti, Tollo. Abruzzo may never have the beach reputation of the Amalfi Coast, Sicily or Sardinia, but it holds its own in terms of long stretches of sandy beach along the Adriatic.
The ones that consistently receive the Italian blue flag rating for pristine waters are in Chieti or Teramo province. Ortona is popular with locals and boasts many beach clubs and Pineto is another resort town with sandy beaches shaded by pine trees that give it its name. To the south, Vasto was a famous Roman fishing village and boasts a sandy stretch, and the characteristic medieval town is perched high with lovely sea views. The natural beauty of Abruzzo rivals every region across the boot-shaped peninsula.
Many of its seven picturesque lakes have nearby camp sites or accommodation options as well as water sports like rafting and canoeing. Lake Bomba has tourist resorts in its vicinity and Lake Scanno and Barrea are some of the prettiest, encircled by mountains and winding roads on approach. The Sorgenti del Pescara natural reserve with crystal clear springs by the small town of Popoli is another favorite with locals, particularly on hot summer days. Abruzzo is known as the "green region of Europe," due to parks like Majella National Park.
With their mountain landscape, it's no wonder towns like Roccaraso, Castel di Sangro, Ovindoli and Campo Felice are magnets for avid skiers from Italy and other parts of Europe. The area gets a heavy and lasting snowfall each year and with the Cinquemiglia a five-mile long, 1,meter-high plain , Abruzzo gives other Alpine destinations a true run for their money at a fraction of the cost. A third of the region is made up of national parks, making it the most rural region of Italy.
In the warmer months, hiking trails in many of these towns are perfect for those who love the great outdoors. Rocca Calascio, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is the highest mountaintop fort in Italy. Away from the crowds of more famous medieval towns like Tuscany's Siena or San Gimignano, places like Pescasseroli, Tagliacozzo and Santo Stefano di Sessanio provide even more authentic regional experiences and stunning scenery some even with castles.
One of the most distinctive is Rocca Calascio, which boasts a watchtower from the 10th century and remains the highest fort in all of Italy, at nearly 1, meters above sea level. Abruzzo is touted as the greenest region of Italy due to the number of national parks within its borders and most towns sit off dramatic cliff faces or with imposing mountain ranges as their backdrop. Marianna Scoccia, mayor of Prezza, one of many small towns dotted along the mountain ranges, says these medieval gems must be protected.
Many of them, including Prezza, remain relatively untouched," she explains. Sulmona is famed for its sugared almonds, known as "confetti" in Italian. Sulmona is famous for being the capital of sugared almonds, known as "confetti" in Italian, and torrone, classic Italian nougat. The streets here are lined in floral creations made up of confetti covered in colored paper and bunched into bouquets.
You can buy these beauties in any flavor imaginable -- Nutella, tiramisu, ricotta and pear, fruits of the forest, hazelnut, the list goes on. Guardiagrele in Chieti province is fast developing a local reputation as a foodie town. It even has its own sweet, Le Sise delle Monache, which literally translates as "nun's breasts", so named for its rounded, perky shape.
Chef Niko Romito runs Reale, which is located within a 16th-century former monastery.
