wild and free

The grapes are pressed and the wine is rested in tank and neutral barrel for a few months

Hand-harvested estate-grown Monte Bello vineyard grapes

The soils are gneiss with mica inclusions

as both are superb versions of the refreshing floral Jacquère grape

2022 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Italy Adega a Barouta wild and freeThe Trebbiano is foot trodden in wooden tubs for two reasons: in order to avoid contact between the iron presses and the acids of the fruit and also for the textural complexity resulting in the subtle maceration that happens when the trodden skins release their characteristics in to the juice. The resulting white wines are slightly golden hued, well balanced and complex, with hints of nuts, hay, and yellow fruits. Wine arrives late March, 2026.
