Tasting Notes
Amorotti Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a testament to the high-altitude Loreto Aprutino vineyards, where the cooling mountain air and limestone-rich soils produce a white of startling intensity and electric acidity. The nose is incredibly complex, unfolding with layers of bruised golden apple, chamomile, and salted lemon, underscored by a wild, flinty smoke. On the palate, it is textured and expansive due to long ageing in large neutral oak, yet it remains precisely focused with a deep, savory saline core and a persistent mineral finish that places it among the finest, most age-worthy whites of Italy. - Chris L
Abruzzo has a winemaking history stretching all the way back to the Etruscans in the sixth century BC, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. These days it turns out reliable, approachable whites and reds for everyday drinking, along with some genuinely complex, ageworthy wines at the top end. You'll find it in central Italy on the Adriatic coast, with Molise to the south, Marche to the north and Lazio to the west.
Its terroir is varied and shaped heavily by the Apennines, with vineyards near the coast enjoying a moderating maritime influence while those further inland see a much wider swing between day and night temperatures. Clay is the dominant soil throughout. Trebbiano leads the whites with Pecorino close behind, while Montepulciano is the flagship red.
