The 2024 Ciavolich ‘Ancilla’ Cococciola Colline Pescaresi IGT is a vibrant, crisp white wine produced from 100% Cococciola grapes, a rare and obscure native varietal from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Crafted by the historic Ciavolich winery (established in 1853), this specific vintage offers a refreshing, high-acid profile that highlights the grape’s revival.
