The Capestrano vineyard is located in the plain of Ofena, just a few kilometres from Popoli and still around 400 metres above sea level. It is part of the Convento vineyard and is planted throughout with Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. The unspoilt environment of the Capestrano spring located there has a high level of biodiversity, which is reflected in the numerous aquatic plants, bushes, flowers and spontaneous vegetation that, thanks to the indigenous yeasts, give the wines made from these grapes their unmistakable organoleptic profile.

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Vigna del Convento di Capestrano is even more complex than the Vigneto di Popoli. Intense straw yellow in colour, it has a subtle, sweet aroma of yellow apples, spring flowers, crushed limestone and a hint of raw almonds. The silky, almost oily texture is contrasted by tart citrus fruits and minerals, while the acids stimulate the senses and create tension in the cheeks. This high-quality Trebbiano Abruzzese is more of a whisper than a shout. It will undoubtedly gain volume and depth with ageing, but is already a wine that can undoubtedly compete with the famous whites of Valentini and Emidio pep. SUPERIORE.DE

"Creamy nose with light notes of roasted cashews, biscuits, pie crust and grapes. Bright and phenolic on the palate, with fresh acidity and a nice nutty but savoury finish." James Suckling

"The 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Vigneto di Capestrano is decidedly flavoursome, with a mix of smoky gravel, sage and freshly cut apricots. Its texture is intense, it appears lifted, yet pleasantly ripe and almost creamy. Exotic spices and dusty, floral tones complement the ripe fruit flavours. The 2020 finishes long, colourful and lightly structured with a pleasantly bitter hint of ginger and crisp green apple. Fantastic." Vinous
