A small wine and cocktail room on Via dei Sali in the L'Aquila centre, serving from six until two from Wednesday to Sunday. One of the latest addresses in the rebuilt old town.
The list: A bar that runs a wine list beside the cocktail list, open from six in the evening until two in the morning five nights a week.
Tip: It runs later than the enoteche on Via Garibaldi, so it is the place to move to after the kitchens there close at one.
Address: Via dei Sali 5, 67100 L'Aquila, Italy, Abruzzo
An evening bar on Piazza Chiarino in the L'Aquila centre, open from seven until one on weekdays and until two on Saturday, running a wine list beside the beer taps.
The list: A bar that trades as an enoteca and birreria together, pouring wine and beer from seven in the evening.
Tip: The square is quieter than Via Garibaldi, which makes this the one to pick when you want to hear the person across the table.

An evening-only wine bar on Via Firenze in central Pescara, pouring regional bottles with charcuterie and cheese boards, cured meats, bruschetta and locally brewed agricultural beers.
The list: Whites, reds, rosati and barrel-aged bottlings, alongside Abruzzo amari and distillates including genziana, ratafia and amaro San Celestino.
Tip: Ratafia and genziana are the two Abruzzo bitters to ask for after the wine. Both are made from things that grow on the mountains behind the city.
A wine room on Via Clemente De Cesaris that opens at six in the evening and runs to a quarter to midnight in the week and to one at the weekend.
The list: An evening-only wine room in central Pescara, trading as a vinatteria rather than a restaurant, so the list is the menu.
Tip: It is a five minute walk from Corso Manthone, the old town strip, so it works as the first stop of a Pescara evening rather than the last.
A wine room on Via Piave in central Pescara that trades only in the evening, from six until midnight, Tuesday through Sunday.
The list: An evening wine address on Via Piave, open from six until midnight six nights a week.
Tip: Via Piave has two wine addresses within a hundred metres of each other, so it is the street to walk if the first one is full.
An enoteca on Via Cesare Battisti in Pescara that opens for the morning trade and again from half past five for tasting, and is one of the few in the city that serves on a Sunday evening.
The list: A wine shop that pours as well as sells, with an evening tasting service that runs to ten o'clock including Sundays.
Tip: Sunday evening is the gap in Pescara. This is one of the few wine addresses in the centre that is open then.
A wine shop and bar on Corso Trento e Trieste, the pedestrian spine of Lanciano, in the part of Chieti province that produces the bulk of Abruzzo's wine.
The list: A wine address on the main corso of Lanciano, in the inland Chieti belt that carries most of the region's cooperative volume.
Tip: Lanciano sits above the Trabocchi coast, so an evening here pairs with a day on the Via Verde cycle path below.
