Valle Reale

Trebbiano d’Abruzzo

Although the DOC rules for Trebbiano d'Abruzzo permit some of the highest yields in Italy (5.6 tons per acre), Valle Reale coaxes much less (4.4 tons per acre) from their Trebbiano vines for maximum concentration of aromas and flavors.  Valle Reale's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is the product of certified Organic grapes which undergo spontaneous fermentation that is carried out by indigenous yeasts. All of this helps to create a wine that is truly unique and reflective of its terroir.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated and elegant, Valle Reale's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo combines bright fruit with delicate aromas of white flowers and flint (an aroma encouraged by the old-fashioned pied-de-cuve technique).    

Food Pairing

 

Pair this wine with grilled vegetables and rustic pasta courses like Spaghetti alla Carbonara as well as roasted poultry, sharp cheeses, and cured meats.
