Emidio Pepe | Abruzzo
Az. Agr. Emidio Pepe | Contrada Chiesi, 10 | IT 64010 Torano Nuovo

Bright yellow colour. Apple jelly, lime, lemon curd and sweet herbs on the enthralling nose. Soft and supple on the palate, with corresponding flavours and a hint of ginger spice on the long, juicy finish. Hardly any white wine from Abruzzo will be more exciting over the next few years than the white flagship of extreme winemaker Emidio pep- so patience will pay off! SUPERIORE.DE

"The ageing of wines has always played a decisive role in the philosophy of our company. This is the reason why today we are proud to be able to offer many of the oldest vintages directly from our cellar. We differentiate as follows: We make two bottlings each year. Younger vintages, which we bring to the Italian market, come from younger vineyards and the wines from the old vines are left to mature in our cellar for at least 5 years before being gradually released onto the global market. The latter wines are labelled 'Selezione Vecchie Vigne' to make it easier to distinguish them. Another important aspect is that all bottles that are over 10 years old are decanted and individually checked before they are re-corked and sent on their journey to our customers." Emidio pepe

"The 2021 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo has a tropical flair, even as it displays fantastic refinement and poise. A blend of lime zest, lychee, minty herbs, stone dust, and camphor aromas waft from the glass. This fills the palate with soothingly round textures, displaying a nearly oily feel. Raw almond notes enrich yellow apples and gingery spices. The 2021 tapers off potent and long, allowing its minerality to surface as a lovely hint of peach sorbet and tropical citrus slowly fades." Vinous

Born in 1932, Emidio peplives by the motto "Life in wine". His respect for his 18 hectares of vineyards, the traditional values of viticulture in Abruzzo and the certified organic and biodynamic techniques result in wines with an unmistakable, genuine character. This Trebbiano, which is pressed with the feet, is fermented in concrete vats where it matures for two years. The aromas of broom, golden plums and white pepper lead to a wonderfully spicy, full-bodied flavour that is characterised by old-world charm and pleasant balance." Decanter
