Trebbiano D’Abruzzo "Vecchie Vigne" (W) 2022

Sourced from the 0.78-hectare Donatella plot, located just 600 metres from Casa Pepe. The vines, grafted in 1988, are rooted in soils that appear clay-rich at the surface, yet reveal a limestone bedrock at a depth of 1.5 metres. The advanced age of the vines and their naturally low yields result in wines of depth and concentration, which are given extended cellar ageing to allow their full complexity to unfold.

Vinification:

100% Trebbiano, hand-harvested and brought to the cellar where the grapes are destemmed and foot-crushed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in concrete tanks, followed by three years of ageing in the cellar prior to release.
