Description
What kind of wine it is
Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is a still organic white wine with a profound territorial connection. On the nose, it weaves together notes of broom, chamomile, plum and peach, enriched by hints of marjoram, white pepper, toasted hazelnut and subtle nuances of humus. On the palate, an elegant rusticity emerges, supported by a fresh, lively sip animated by a slight residual effervescence. The remarkable richness of extract and pronounced savouriness ensure an ideal balance to accompany shellfish, seafood dishes and white meats.
Where it comes from
This white originates in the area of Torano Nuovo, the heart of the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo denomination. The vines grow at almost six hundred metres above sea level, in an area between the Apennine range and the Adriatic coast. This location offers diverse microclimates, ideal for cultivating Trebbiano grapes. The plants sink their roots into medium-textured clay soils, a key pedological element in defining the structure of the sip and imparting an intense natural savouriness combined with a strong territorial identity.
How it is produced
Production by Emidio Pepe is based on strict organic viticulture, allowing only copper, sulphur and the use of green manure, excluding chemical fertilisers. The artisanal process involves the traditional foot treading of the grapes in wooden vats. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in glazed cement vats, triggered exclusively by indigenous yeasts. The wine completes its journey without any fining or filtration, preserving its material vitality and aromatic richness intact.
History and Curiosities
Rooted between the sea and the Apennines, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC dates back to the sixteenth century and finds its purest expression in Torano Nuovo. Since 1964, the Emidio Pepe winery has enhanced the clay soils located at 600 metres above sea level through rigorous organic farming. Production follows artisanal traditions: from foot treading in wooden vats to fermentation in concrete with indigenous yeasts, without filtration. It is bottled by hand, preserving an elegant rusticity and a vibrant sip.

For the past 2000 years, people here have been growing vineyards in small plots of land reclaimed from the mountain, living in symbiosis with the volcano and adapting to the power and unpredictability of its elements. This is slow and ancient work, carried out by hand with toil, passion, and respect. Read more
