Tasting notes
A sweetly seductive mix of baked apples, peaches and candied lemon combines with hints of chamomile as the 2017 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne comes to life in the glass. This is a total pleasure on the palate: silky and round with ripe orchard fruits and a staining of minerality that evolves toward the close. It finishes spicy yet fresh with a reverberation of residual acids and hints of ginger under an air of minty herbs. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off of this warm vintage beauty.

About the producer

Emidio Pepe is a star of the Abruzzo region and one of Italy’s most famous names. Worshipped by natural-wine lovers for its low-intervention approach, this estate makes category-defying, age-worthy examples of Montepulciano, Trebbiano and Cerasolo d’Abruzzo, as well as Pecorino Colli Aprutini.
