- Abruzzo DOC is situated in the Abruzzo region of central Italy, bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Apennine Mountains to the west.
- The climate in Abruzzo varies from coastal Mediterranean to continental in the mountainous areas. The proximity to the Adriatic Sea moderates temperatures, while the Apennines provide altitude and cooler conditions, especially beneficial for viticulture.
