SAY HELLO TO
ITALY’S MOST
SOCIABLE WINES
A warm ‘thank you’ from our friend Ludo – the talented
and affable winemaker behind these two Italian hits
If there’s one word that sums up the
wines of Abruzzo – an unspoiled region
on Italy’s Adriatic coast – it’s ‘sociable’.
Especially when they’re made by our
friend Ludo. A local born and bred,
she travels the vineyards on her trusty
bicycle in search of the best grapes.
The growers call ‘Cia’ Ludo’ (‘Hi Ludo’ in
the Abruzzo dialect) when they see her
coming. She always has time to stop and
chat, and thanks to her easy-going charm,
they let her have the pick of the harvest.
And now it seems, Ludo has been
charming our customers as well.
would love to see her grape-growing
friends get the recognition they deserve.
So to say ‘grazie’ in true Abruzzo style,
Ludo is offering our customers up to
30% off her wines this month.
That means you can enjoy Cia’ Ludo
Montepulciano (normally £12.99)
for just £8.99 a bottle, and Cia’ Ludo
Trebbiano (normally £10.99) for just
£7.99 a bottle. Choose the Family Mix,
and they’re yours for £8.49 a bottle.
So dust off the garden furniture, invite
your friends round for a glass, and
enjoy a taste of Abruzzo’s dolce vita.
Her Trebbiano – a crisp, citrusy white
made from the local speciality grape –
is the ideal bottle to keep in the fridge
for when friends pop round. And (like all
good Italian wines) it’s great with food.

Here’s what one new fan said about it:
“Lovely wine, excellent with chicken or
seafood; now one of my favourite whites.”
Ludo’s red is proving a bit of a hit too.
Made purely from Montepulciano –
Abruzzo’s star red grape – it’s soft, juicy,
and wonderfully easy to drink. If you
could bottle Abruzzo’s relaxed lifestyle,
this is surely what it would taste like.
One 5-star reviewer certainly thought so:
“I was fortunate to live in Italy for two and
a half years and this wine reminds me of
my easy going and stress free Italian life.”
