Packaged in a historic milk bottle, the fruity Don Antonio Sugo alla Toscana with garlic, sweet pepper, and extra virgin olive oil evokes the authentic home cooking of Abruzzo, delicious and made from fresh ingredients.

Don Antonio Sugo – Tomato Sauce from Abruzzo

In the province of Chieti, south of the cities of Pescara and Chieti, the small family business Casina Rossa produces aromatic tomato sauces. Here in the hilly hinterland of Abruzzo, the Abruzzo pear tomato, the Francavillese, which is valued throughout Italy for its full-bodied aroma, grows. Nicola and Paola de Laurentis process these tomatoes in an artisanal way into delicious sugos. Following an old recipe, in August, when the tomatoes are fully ripe, a flavorful sauce base is made from them with little salt and great care, just like this Don Antonio Sugo alla Toscana. Its balanced taste is the result of a perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity. Grown in small plots, the tomato has an intense red color, a fleshy consistency, and few seeds.
