The fifth and final installment of this cycle of our Italian Wine Foundations Series will travel down Italy's Adriatic Coast exploring the wines and regions of Marche, Umbria (well, not exactly on the coast, in fact it's land-locked, but it is next door to Marche...), Abruzzo and Puglia. The more rustic wines of these regions offer perhaps the most authentic expressions of Italian wine culture. Somewhat bolder in presentation yet, exceptionally food friendly shaped over centuries to complement the cuisine of the Adriatic coastal states, these wines are hidden gems that match equally well with the backyard barbecue staples we share with our friends right here in Paso Robles. From grilled steaks, wood fired pizza, and baby back ribs to spicy pasta and crunchy bruschetta, discover wines that will bring Italian Dolce Vita spirit to your 2025 summer gatherings!
