Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

Opened at least an hour prior to service. The 2010 pours a burnished gold color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apricots, candied yams, wet straw, rubber eraser, and all of the flowers. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. There’s a whole lotta soul here and it’s showing really well! Drink now through 2030+

Lots of apple at first but give this time and burgundy sneaks into the equation

Dank and masterful. Peak trebbiano.

BBW: Big, Beautiful Wine

First Emidio Pepe experience and it was a game changer. This was better than the Valentini I had a few months ago, but that's just my opinion. Honeycomb, bright tree fruit, mushrooms, almonds, hazelnuts, white balsamic, and bright acidity. Don't be confused by it being trebbiano. It isn't trebbiano toscana, it's an entirely different animal called trebbiano abruzzese that is actually complex and age worthy. This is what wine is meant to be!

Love the acidity on these wines, it's rarely found in Trebbiano, but as always this really outshines any others.

All over the place: lavender, licorice, waxy yellow fruits, high acid finish

Man oh man. Really good. Rich fruit with that fresh Trebbiano flavor. Could not tell it was older.

Slightly off? None of the verve found in his montepulciano but still pleasant!

Pulls off the texture and complexity that (in my humble opinion) Mediterranean whites must in order to not come across as heavy and tiresome. Excepting really awesome Balsamic, this is maybe the most interesting expression of Trebbiano I've ever encountered.
