Feudo Antico, Altopiano Trebbiano, Italy 2018
Fresh and fruity, with clear notes of exotic fruits, this elegant and full flavoured white wine was created in a small vineyard in the heart of Abruzzo in Italy.
Classed as a DOP wine, which is short for Denominazione di Origine Protetta (literally “Protected Designation of Origin”), which is the top tier of Italian wine classifications, guaranteeing its quality and that it is produced by local artisans using traditional methods.
Ideally served with roasted line fish, salmon, delicate white meats and fresh cheese. Excellent as an aperitif.
Blend: Trebbiano 100%
ABV 12%
Producer Profile
Starting from the 2013 vintage, all wines are Magis certified, the most advanced project for the sustainability of wine production in Italy. Currently their 15 hectares are cultivated using native varieties producing limited yields to ensure quality is retained. Clearly they highly value the land they work and this attitude is continued in the winery where the fruit and wine come into contact with no wood whatsoever, only concrete and glass. This guarantees the purity of the fruit, and its flavours, are conveyed from the vineyard direct to the glass.
Viticulture
Grown in a canopy type system with 1600 vines per ha.
Winemaking
Criomaceration of the pressed grapes, soft pressing, fermentation at controlled temperature.
