Description

The 2019 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is a masterclass in what this ancient Italian variety can do. From an old local clone of Trebbiano, the wine is crafted with minimal intervention—foot-crushed, naturally fermented in cement tanks, and bottled unfiltered with no added sulphur. It’s winemaking with a focus on purity and texture, and the result is something truly special.

Bright citrus and floral aromas lead the way, with layers of honey, almond, and a touch of savoury salinity coming through. The palate is textured and refreshing, with a fine grip and vibrant acidity that keeps everything humming along. At 12% alcohol, it’s beautifully balanced—ripe, complex, and light on its feet.

This is a wine for the long haul. Sure, it’s drinking wonderfully now, but a few years in the cellar will see it develop even more richness and depth. Whether you enjoy it now or wait, it’s a stunning example of Trebbiano d’Abruzzo made by one of Italy’s most legendary producers.

95 points - "The most inviting mix of lemon oils, musky pear and peach, raw almond, ginger, iodine and yellow flowers wafts up from the 2019 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne. It’s pliant, yet almost buoyant, seeming to hover across the palate with notes of apricot and salty mineral tones that are nicely offset by a pretty inner sweetness. The 2019 becomes perfumed throughout the saline-tinged finale, as inner florals slowly taper off. There’s a density and balance here that should unfold beautifully over the course of the next decade." - Eric Guido (Vinous)

Emidio Pepe founded his winery in 1964, taking over the family business after working alongside his father and his grandfather. Before anyone else, he strongly believed in the great ageing potential of Trebbiano and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and he dedicated all his energies to those two indigenous grape varietals

.Today, Emidio Pepe ageing cellar has more than 350.000 bottles. It is a cellar in constant movement as old bottles are released in small quantity each year while the young ones are stocked and will be released only when ready.
