Emidio Pepe's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is renowned for its artisanal, traditional winemaking, with grapes foot-trodden and fermented in cement vats without selected yeasts, then hand-bottled unfiltered after two years. The 2018 vintage, while described by some as more mature and extracted than usual, maintains its fascinating character. It presents an elegant and austere expression when young, boasting great minerality and significant aging potential. Tasting notes often highlight a golden hue with aromas of bergamot, ripe yellow fruit, almond, balsamic herbs, and white pepper, sometimes showing a slight oxidation. The palate is structured yet dynamic, with incisive sapidity and delicate tannins. Many note earthy, honey, mineral, and stone notes, alongside apple, pear, apricot, and citrus. Some even describe it as having a deep color and resembling an orange wine, with remarkable earthiness, acidity, and salinity. 【A truly age-worthy white wine with complexity and profoundness】. Food Pairing: This versatile white wine pairs wonderfully with vegetarian dishes, pasta, appetizers, lean fish, and cured meats. Its complexity and minerality also make it an excellent match for rich, hearty winter foods. Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated tasting, a special meal with seafood or white meats, or as a unique aperitif. Its aging potential also makes it a fantastic addition to a cellar for future enjoyment.
