Often overlooked in the past, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is quickly emerging as one of Italy’s most exciting white wines.
Masciarelli's rendition is super-crisp, with an abundance of green apple, yellow plum and apricot, underpinned by almond and florals. The palate is crisp yet quite round, with concentrated stonefruit, jasmine and notable minerality. Dry and balanced, it finishes long and precise, making a strong case for Trebbiano as a must-try!
About The Producer:
Gianni Masciarelli, who died in 2008, and his wife Marina Cvetic have been among the shining beacons of Abruzzo. For years, this beautiful land, with its abundance of sun, great soil and the easy-to-grow Montepulciano grape, had wallowed in mediocrity as scores of producers were clearly taking advantage of what was given to them. Gianni, along with his inspiration, the reclusive genius Edoardo Valentini, proved to the rest of the world, through hard work, low yields, and a desire to be the best, that Abruzzo and the Montepulciano grape could produce world-class (and then some) wines.
Over the years, his limited production wines have reached an exalted, cult status.
