Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2024

In a span of only 30 miles between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Masciarelli has carefully assembled 60 specific sites averaging just 5 acres and spread across the diverse soils and altitudes of the 4 provinces of Abruzzo. These vineyards are farmed sustainably, and the five specific vineyards that bear fruit for this wine range in altitude from 435 to 1,200 feet with soils of calcareous clay and lime.

After destemming, the grapes are pressed and undergo a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel. Further aging in stainless steel maintains the freshness and vibrancy of the fruit producing a wine that exhibits bright apricot, orchard fruit and iris aromas and flavors.

The 2024 Abruzzo growing season was defined by a hot and dry summer, causing an early harvest to begin in the first ten days of August. Despite the early ripening, the grapes retained excellent quality and freshness, with no damage to the fruit. The harvest was smooth, with healthy grapes across varieties, promising a vintage of excellent quality. Even with the hot summer, the fruit’s integrity was safeguarded, setting the stage for exceptional wines that showcase the region's potential in a challenging season.

Delightful, expressive combination of stone fruits with a round, concentrated mid-palate that finishes with minerality and, as with all the wines, complex and long.
