WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Produced from 100% Trebbiano grapes, this wine is a testament to the purity of the varietal and the terroir of Abruzzo. The grapes are hand-harvested and softly crushed, followed by fermentation with natural yeasts in cement tanks. True to Emidio Pepe's artisanal approach, the wine is aged in glass demijohns and then in bottles to refine its flavors and aromas. This aging process highlights the wine’s delicate floral notes and crisp acidity, making it a classic representation of Trebbiano D’Abruzzo.
STORY
Since 1899, the Pepe family estate, led by Emidio Pepe since 1964, shifted from high-yield grape production to crafting distinguished wines, now spanning 17 hectares. Prioritizing organic and biodynamic methods, Emidio's approach—eschewing modern machinery for traditional winemaking—garnered international acclaim. The estate's prime location between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains provides an ideal terroir for Montepulciano and Trebbiano grapes, cultivated with manual harvesting and pergola training. Emidio's commitment to natural processes includes using exclusively cement tanks for aging, ensuring the wine's character remains unaltered by oak, and forbidding sulphites, filtration, and fining, cementing the estate's reputation for pure, traditionally made wines.
