The Popoli vineyard bears witness to the fact that the Valle Reale plateau has been a wine-growing area since time immemorial. Several rows of this vineyard stretch out in front of the ruins of a cave cellar dating back to 1300. This is where the Benedictine monks from the monastery of San Benedetto in Perillis produced and stored their wine. A small plot of around 1 hectare is dedicated to Trebbiano d'Abruzzo.

Intense, bright straw yellow colour. Amazing, multi-layered and very animating bouquet of lime, quince and grapefruit, with hints of sage. More savoury than sweet, it impresses on the palate with its cool freshness and ripe fruit, supported by a lively acidity. Intense citrus fruit flavours with pink grapefruit and a hint of bitter grapefruit on the finish. Long-lasting and simply irresistible! SUPERIORE.DE

"A burst of crushed rock, flint and hazelnut gives way to dried apricot as the 2021 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Vigneto di Popoli evolves in the glass. This is pure elegance on the palate, richly textured yet energetic, with minty herbal tones and ripe orchard fruit notes guided by a core of juicy acidity. Minerally intense and inflected with sour citrus, the 2021 tapers off with serious length. The balance and complexity within will assure a long and fruitful evolution." Vinous
