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.

Varietal: Trebbiano

For over a thousand years in its native Italy, the Trebbiano grape has been grown and cultivated for the production of high quality white wines. Its success on home soil led to the grape being planted in several other European countries, and later in the New World where it has also proven to be popular. Whilst the Trebbiano varietal grape is most commonly associated with fortified wines, it is also commonly used as a blending grape, as its naturally high acidity makes it ideal for boosting less acidic blends. Trebbiano grapes are also cultivated in Italy for the production of fine single variety white wines, and wine makers prize the Trebbiano for the fact that it is excellent for expressing terroir. Indeed, alongside the expected flavors of citrus fruits, it is common to pick up mineral notes and all sorts of pleasant surprises in wines made from this grape.

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.
