The name is reminiscent of the ancient grain fields that once covered the hills of Spoltore before vines took root here. This Trebbiano has been labelled "Oro" since 2017 – a claim that it lives up to. The Di Properzio brothers select only three hectares of old vines on compact limestone-clay soils near the coast. What distinguishes Spelt Oro from conventional Trebbiano is its radical patience: after fermentation, the wine rests for four months sur lie in stainless steel tanks, which are deliberately located outside the winery – exposed to natural temperature fluctuations. Then another year in concrete. It is bottled after fifteen months, unfiltered, unclarified, without any stabilisation.

Light golden yellow in the glass, peach, apricot, iodised herbal notes and a hint of chamomile on the nose. Full and fresh on the palate, with salty minerality and a remarkably long finish. A white wine that proves that Trebbiano d'Abruzzo can definitely be a statement. SUPERIORE.DE
