About Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is an Italian DOC classification of a rosé style wine made from the Montepulciano grape in Italy's Abruzzo wine region. The name cerasuolo relates to the deep color the wine obtains from even very brief skin-contact with the highly pigmented skins of the Montepulciano grapes.

Monthly data from NASA POWER (MERRA-2) at one point in the appellation. The current year is compared with the same months of a normal year (“so far”); its latest months are preliminary and revised by NASA later.
