Trebbiano D'Abruzzo Cocciopesto, Nicodemi (75cl)

This is a different, unique Trebbiano d'Abruzzo made with grapes from a 50 year old vineyard fermented and aged in cocciopesto.

Cocciopesto is a material used since Roman times, different from Terracotta, made of bricks, stone fragments and sand all pasted together that unlike the wood, do not add any aroma or flavour to the wine.

The Trebbiano grapes, not pressed, are fermented in the cocciopesto amphora with indigenous yeasts. Following the maceration that lasts about 10 days, the skins and stalks are removed and the wine put back in the cocciopesto to finish the fermentation producing an elegant and delicate, floral Trebbiano d'Abruzzo with an elegant nose, with tropical fruit on the palate and a marked mineral character.

A great Trebbiano d’Abruzzo for delicate fish courses and risotto but it also pair beautifully fresh and medium aged cheeses.
