Hadrianum

An ancient wine prized by Pliny the Elder (23-79) in his work Naturalis historia, which came from the town of Hadria (now Atri). Atri is located in today's Abruzzo region on the Adriatic coast and was already known for its viticulture in ancient times. Pliny described the wine as light but fine and counted it among the better wines of central Italy. The name is derived from the Roman place name, which was also given to Emperor Hadrian.

The modern form cannot be clearly determined, but parallels are drawn with the DOC red wine Rosso Piceno. However, this comes from the neighbouring Marche region. It is more likely that there is a cultural and geographical connection to modern wines from the Atri region, in particular Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
