Vigna del Convento di Capestrano Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

Trebbiano & Trebbiano-based Blends

The vineyard of Capestrano is located in the Plain of Ofena, just a few kilometres from Popoli heading toward L’Aquila, in a territory known for the discovery of a vast necropolis dating back to the VI-V centuries B.C..

Tasting Notes

Lemon-gold in color, aromas of ripe lemons and tree fruits complement undertones of herbs and wildflowers. On the palate, crisp acidity and a full body lead to a pleasing finish where layers of complexity are gradually unveiled.

Food Pairing

Excellent to serve with appetizers, first courses, white meat, fresh cheeses, seafood, grilled fish. It also pairs very well with desserts.

About the Vineyard

The pristine environment of the Capestrano spring has a high level of biodiversity, as demonstrated by the many species of aquatic plants, brush, flowers, and spontaneous vegetation, which through the autochthonous yeasts bestow the wines obtained from these grapes their unmistakable organoleptic profile. The importance of this vineyard for the history of the Valle Reale is fundamental, because the grapes of these rows of vineyards inspired research in the field of comparative experimental wine-making processes.
