Tasting Notes
As the label says, this is the Trebbiano grape made in Abruzzo (Italy). Organically farmed and fermented naturally in amphora, this wine by Cirelli speaks of delicate texture, freshness and life. Good fruit core and lively acidity. One to drink now with antipasto, seafood or lighter pasta dishes. - 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.
