The 2018 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Vigna del Convento di Capestrano is subtle and sweetly scented with flinty notes of yellow apples, spring flowers, crushed limestone and hints of raw almond. This is silky, almost oily in texture, contrasted by tart citrus and minerals, as nervous acids sizzle upon the senses, adding cheek-puckering tension. Understated yet refined, the 2018 tapers off dry under an air of attractive floral notes. The Vigna del Convento di Capestrano is more of a whisper than a shout. The wine will gain in volume and depth with some cellaring. Also of note is that Valle Reale is one of the few estates in the region working entirely with Trebbiano Abruzzese.

green grapes

Varietal: Trebbiano

The Trebbiano grape has long been an important grape in its native Italy, where it has been cultivated for wine production for over a thousand years. We know that Trebbiano was first brought to France in the 14th century, and that it proved to be a popular varietal which quickly spread throughout the country and to elsewhere in Europe. Trebbiano is often used for the production of fortified wines, and is commonly used as a blending grape, but there are also many fine single variety wines made from this varietal, which allow the characteristics of the grape to shine. In particular, it is known for a pleasantly high acidity, with flavors of citrus fruits, white flowers and all sorts of mineral notes on the palate.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
