Emidio Pepe’s Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is renowned for its unique character and remarkable longevity. On the nose, a young vintage like 2018 will display complex notes of white flowers, almond, citrus zest, and a distinct mineral salinity. With age, it evolves into a profound bouquet of dried apricots, beeswax, petrol, hay, and a savory, almost umami character. The palate is full-bodied and textured, often showing a slight phenolic grip from extended skin contact. It boasts vibrant, mouth-watering acidity, which provides immense structure and freshness, leading to a long, persistent finish that echoes the complex aromatics.
