Pasetti pour at their Francavilla al Mare base, a coastal counterpart to the family's high-altitude vineyards at Pescosansonesco.
Tip: Ask about the Gran Sasso plots; the contrast with the coastal fruit is the point of the flight.
Address: Via San Paolo, 21, 66023 Francavilla al Mare, Chieti, Italy, Abruzzo
Guided cellar visit at the Rocca San Giovanni cooperative, seven euro a head, covering the Cococciola that the co-op built its name on.
Tip: It is the cheapest sit-down tasting in the region and a short drive from the Trabocchi coast cycle path.
Masciarelli pour in the restored castle at Semivicoli, three set flights that run from four estate labels to five with wines from elsewhere in Europe.
Tip: The Premium flight at 12.30 includes a first course, so treat it as lunch rather than an aperitif.
Rosarubra's shop and tasting room on the Lungofino road at Citta Sant'Angelo, away from the biodynamic estate at Pietranico.
Tip: It is the easier of the two Rosarubra town rooms to reach from the Pescara airport road.
Tasting room of the Ofena estate in the Tirino valley, where flights run from a short pour to a full sit-down at 35 euro per person.
Tip: Ofena sits in a basin the locals call the oven of Abruzzo, so book a morning slot in July and August.
Cellar and vineyard visit above Loreto Aprutino with two daily slots, four wines poured alongside local cured meats and cheeses.
Tip: Reservations close three days ahead, so plan the Loreto Aprutino stop before you leave home.
Three graded flights at the Tullum DOCG estate in Tollo, poured on a terrace that looks over the vineyards to the Adriatic.
Tip: The Native flight is the one that covers Cococciola and Passerina, the two Tollo whites hardest to find outside Abruzzo.
Guided cellar visit at the Rocca San Giovanni cooperative, seven euro a head, covering the Cococciola that the co-op built its name on.
