Opperbacco's signature Italian Grape Ale — brewed with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grape must sourced from local winemakers and fermented with native yeasts from the Gran Sasso foothills. Dark reddish-amber with a vinous aroma of dark fruit, earthy terroir, and oak complexity meeting the malt backbone of the craft ale base. The beer that established Abruzzo's reputation in the world of Italian Grape Ales — a bridge between the Adriatic coast's great wine culture and its emerging craft beer scene.
