Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d’Abruzzo are made in very traditional way, grapes are hand-picked and are crushed by foot. Even though it was fermented in cement tanks the wine is creamy and oxidative (no SO2 ages the wine faster I suppose). If this was served completely blind I would have guessed this was a Jura white. Oxidative sherry notes with banana fritters, creamy orchard fruits and textured lees. Smells like Jura, Château Chalon characteristics. (80/100)

Deep gold colour with oxidative noses of butter cream, dried apricot, ginger, honey and roasted almond, which lead me to an old Hermitage blanc. The palate is very rich, full body with high acidity, sweet ripe fruits, nuts, waxy and a prolonged finish. A wine style that is very unique and hard to forget. Drink well now and I don't think further ageing is necessary.

Light gold. Brown butter, some toasted nuts, some leesiness and a slight honeyed sweetness on nose. Fresh and clean on palate with lots of acid and a minerally finish. Glad I got to try this.

Lovely floral, citrus, mineral profile. West stones, sage, balanced with acidity and tannin.

Butter malt aromas. Light, restrained and old fashioned style. A bit short.
