🏰 The 2017 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo stands out as 【one of the better Trebbiano d'Abruzzo wines from Emidio Pepe in recent memory】, despite coming from a very hot year. This biodynamic, Triple 'A' producer crafts a wine with a captivating nose of warm butter, marcona almond, preserved lemon, poached apricot, and lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied with bright yet smooth acidity, offering flavors of sweet lemon, lime, apricot preserves, and flint, with a dose of textural grit on the finish. While some notes suggest a potential for oxidative or funky characteristics in hot years, this vintage is praised for its beautiful acidity and aromatic balance, promising complexity and profoundness with age. 🍴 This complex white wine is a fantastic match for mushrooms, and its unique profile could also complement rich seafood dishes or aged hard cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for a special dinner where you want to explore an authentic, age-worthy white wine with character, or for a tasting session focused on natural and biodynamic wines.
