Contesa Trebbiano d’Abruzzo
Beautifully textural and complex, part skin fermented white from a small block of 25 year old Trebbiano d’Abruzzo on the Pasetti family’s Collecorvino estate. Sustainably produced with minimal intervention – wild ferment, low sulphur, no fining, just 3,000 bottles produced.
Producer Profile
Rocco Pasetti’s superbly sited, 50 hectare, estate lies in the heart of the Collecorvino district in the hills northwest of Pescara, recognised as one of the best vineyard zones in Abruzzo.
Surrounding the winery, the south-facing slopes of clay-chalk soils, at around 250m altitude, are ideal for the cultivation of Montepulciano, with Pecorino grown on the lower slopes. The cellar was completed in 2004 – carved into the hillside. Rocco’s son, Franco Pasetti, is also a winemaker and now works alongside him at the estate.
The Contesa wines are impeccably-made expressions of Abruzzo’s local grapes – modern and easy to drink, yet wines of real substance.
