Abruzzo unveils itself with Vinorum
From May 16 to 18, L’Aquila celebrated Abruzzo wine with Vinorum, its first edition. For three days, the historic center filled with aromas, glasses, and culture. The event shone a spotlight on the region’s wine-making excellence. Vinorum transformed Piazza Duomo and the historic cloisters into spaces for tasting, discovery, and connection. Over 30 producers presented their Abruzzo wine directly to the public. Visitors had the chance to taste iconic labels and new releases, including Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino, and Cerasuolo. Organized by the Consorzio Tutela Vini d’Abruzzo, with the support of the Abruzzo Region and the City of L’Aquila, Vinorum also featured masterclasses, talks, cultural tours, and live music. A unique opportunity to dive into the identity of Abruzzo, starting with a glass. The undisputed star was Abruzzo wine — its stories, aromas, and its power to tell the tale of an authentic, generous land. Visitors walked among tasting stands, met producers, joined cultural events, and explored local traditions. The event focused on simplicity, authenticity, and a strong connection with the land. Everything revolved around Abruzzo wine and its storytelling power. Not just a drink, but an experience to live. Vinorum strengthened the bond between city and countryside, between producers and enthusiasts. L’Aquila welcomed a diverse audience: tourists, wine lovers, professionals. All shared a common thread — Abruzzo wine as a symbol of quality, culture, and landscape. The success of this first edition confirms Abruzzo’s rise as a food and wine destination. With Vinorum, Abruzzo winetakes over the city with new energy — and a clear message: the future of wine lies in the promotion of its territory.
