Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore
The winery’s first Trebbiano cru dates back to 2004, emerging from a 50-year-old vineyard selected for the quality of its grapes. The age of the vines and the hilltop site, with northeast aspecting, day–night temperature ranges, and excellent summer ventilation.
All this confer the wine with complexity and elegance, with minerality and tanginess to the fore. Without doubt a Trebbiano true to place and tradition.
