Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is one of the most popular white wines in central-southern Italy and is produced in the provinces of Chieti, Pescara, L'Aquila and Teramo. It is produced from the white grape variety of the same name, also known as Bombino. Since ancient times it was appreciated for its lightness and ease of drinking, and was used, as Pliny mentions, to quench the thirst of soldiers, while in more recent times it was used to enhance great white wines. It is particularly appreciated for its simplicity and expressive freshness, making it a perfect pairing with fish dishes. With the improvement of enological and viticultural practices, some wineries have radically changed their approach, giving birth to elegant, full-bodied expressions with long ageing potential, such as the symbolic and prestigious ones of Emidio Pepe, Valentini and Masciarelli.
