An impressive, deep golden yellow colour with brilliant reflections, unusually intense for a Trebbiano - a first indication of the strength of character of this wine.<\/p>\n
The fragrance unfolds with remarkable precision: ripe yellow stone fruits, especially juicy peaches and apricots, are surrounded by subtle citrus notes and Mediterranean herbs. The aromatic spectrum is elegantly complemented by a fine spicy component of ginger and cardamom - a bouquet that promises depth without heaviness.<\/p>\n
On the palate, this Trebbiano has a remarkable texture - juicy and charming, but never heavy. The moderate acidity structure is balanced by a fine, almost imperceptible tannin structure that gives the wine backbone. The fruit components from the nose continue seamlessly, with the fine spicy notes adding complexity. The finish is characterised by a pleasant minerality that gives the wine a focused and precise finish.<\/p>\n
Francesco Cirelli is one of the up-and-coming talents of Abruzzo, a region that has long been overshadowed by better-known Italian wine regions. His Trebbiano impressively demonstrates the potential of this often underestimated grape variety when it is vinified with respect and skilful craftsmanship. At 12.0% alcohol, the wine presents itself in perfect balance - powerful enough for character, but restrained enough for elegance.<\/p>\n
The aromatic intensity and fine texture predestine this wine to accompany Fennel and orange salad with roasted pine nuts<\/strong>The citrus notes of the wine harmonise wonderfully with the oranges. Also recommended are Linguine with seafood<\/strong>whose iodine notes emphasise the mineral component of the wine. A classic vitello tonnato<\/strong> finds a congenial partner in this Trebbiano, which harmonises with both the tender veal and the spicy tuna sauce.<\/p>\n This Trebbiano d'Abruzzo impressively disproves the preconception that Trebbiano is a trivial grape variety. Cirelli's interpretation<\/strong> shows that Trebbiano can be one of the most expressive white grape varieties in Italy if cultivated carefully and vinified with care. A wine that offers immediate drinking pleasure, but also encourages reflection on the untapped potential of traditional Italian grape varieties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Special features<\/h3>\n
