White dry
Symbol of the noble wine tradition of Abruzzo, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo finds in the aging in French oak barriques the ideal training ground to develop personality and character. From the vineyards of Bucchianico, at the foot of majestic gullies, wines of great balance and concentration are obtained, thanks to the high planting density and very low yield per hectare, manual harvesting and maceration at low temperatures.
Serve at 12-14 °C with fish dishes, meat balls, mushroom stew, matured soft cheese.
Coiled aromas of seared lemon, Canary melon and almond skin give this oak-aged white a lot of lift. It's richly textured on the palate yet impeccably balanced by driven acidity. There's depth to the citrus and melon flavors, which makes this a compelling Trebbiano to sit on in the near term.
Masciarelli Tenute Agricole was established in 1981 from the entrepreneurial intuition of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbol of Italian wine and protagonist of the success of modern wine production in Abruzzo. The beating heart of the winery is in San Martino sulla Marrucina, in the province of Chieti, and includes vineyards and olive groves, in all 4 provinces of Abruzzo. Wine production – while also having a small production of extra virgin olive oil – now has 18 labels and five product lines: Classic Line, Gianni Masciarelli, Villa Gemma, Marina Cvetic, and Castello di Semivicoli. In the constant and renewed work for innovation, but with respect for the environment and tradition, Masciarelli inaugurated, after a long restoration, Castello di Semivicoli, a seventeenth-century baronial mansion, which is now a Relais de Charme in the vineyards, a driving force of wine tourism in the area.
