This age-worthy white comes to us from the remarkable winery of Emidio Pepe in Abruzzo. This wine is foot-trodden in wooden tubs, lending a golden hue and subtle acidity. The vineyard regimen is all organic, while the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. This is a white wine of great texture, whose excellent acidity is flanked by a certain aromatic balance in one of great richness.
Emidio Pepe Description
Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is an ancient and indigenous grape variety from Abruzzo, a unique clone different from others of its same family. Its beautiful acidity together with the aromatic balance make of it a fine wine with complexity at the same time. It has an elegant and austere expression when young with a great minerality...after few years it gains complexity, volume and profoundness.
James Suckling: 97 Points
One of the best trebbianos out there, this is agreeable and limpid. Light gold hue, with savory aromas of umami, miso, dried lemon peel, minerals, refreshing yuzu tea and hints of nougat and macadamia nuts. Fresh, medium- to full-bodied and naturally flavorful, with a composed mouthfeel despite the bright acidity. This is quite effortless, sleek and long in the finish. So delicious now, but can hold.
Decanter: 94 Points
Emidio Pepe, born in 1932, lives by his motto ‘in wine, life’. His respect for his 18 hectares of vineyards, Abruzzo’s traditional winegrowing values, and certified organic and biodynamic techniques results in wines with a distinctive, genuine character. This Trebbiano, trodden by foot, is fermented in concrete vats where it ages for two years. Broom, golden plum and white pepper aromas lead to a delightfully savoury, full-bodied mouth, vibrant with vintage charm and pleasing balance.
