Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2020

From the rolling hills of Abruzzo, stretching from the Apennines to the sea, comes Trebbiano d’Abbruzzo, a wine that preserves intact all the aromatic characteristics and the winemaking wisdom passed down through generations. The land of Abruzzo, which preserves many territories and natural environments extending all the way to the coast, is the mother of wines made from native and non-native grape varieties, characterized by a great diversity that has allowed it to obtain the DOC label in other Italian regions as well. Due to its savory and its aromatic notes, Trebbiano is also widely used as a “blend” in blends with other native grapes, obtaining wines with an elegant personality and intense flavor. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo owes its success to its good adaptability to different microclimates, which has led to its presence in these territories since the 1500s; the hills at almost 600 meters above sea level represent the ideal place for Trebbiano grapes and, together with other characteristics such as the quality of the clayey soils, have allowed for the “controlled designation of origin” status since the 1960s, with an increasingly steady rise in terms of recognition. The methods used by the various wineries in Abruzzo for fermentation and aging can involve the use of steel barrels or wooden as is the case with the Emidio Pepe winery: here the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is vinified according to traditional methods that produce a still organic white wine with the right balance of flavors, excellent for accompanying countless fish and meat-based dishes.
