Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2022 Bossanova

The Trebbiano d'Abruzzo of the Bossanova winery is made from the grapes of the variety of the same name, from old vines. It is a white wine of great character, with a strong territorial identity, with a tight and incisive sip, expressing freshness and persistence. A wine with pleasant fruity aromas, enhanced by Mediterranean and balsamic notes. Bossanova is located in Controguerra, a small town in the Teramane hills, in the northern part of Abruzzo. It is a young and dynamic reality that produces artisan and organic wines; in fact, Nat and Andrea's philosophy is to work with total respect for biodiversity in the vineyard and non-interventionist in the cellar, avoiding any kind of sophistication. The Trebbiano grapes come from different parcels of land, all characterised by predominantly clayey soils at an altitude of about 250 metres above sea level. The average age of the vines is 40 years and they are trained using the spurred cordon system to obtain a low yield per plant, a practice that is unfortunately not very widespread among Trebbiano producers and that in fact guarantees very high quality grapes at harvest. After harvesting, which is done entirely by hand, the grapes are taken to the cellar, where 80% of them are pressed to obtain the must, while 20% of them are selected and added to the whole must for maceration. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulphites or other additives. After 8 months of ageing in cement vats, the wine is bottled without any oenological clarification or filtration, and remains in the bottle for 3 months before being released. Its colour is bright and brilliant straw yellow, and its bouquet expresses notes of crisp, yellow-fleshed fruit, with hints of sage and chamomile, combined with balsamic notes. On the palate, it is full and vertical, deep and mineral, with a long, fresh and savoury aftertaste that makes you want to take another sip. A very versatile Trebbiano, to be tried with both white meat and fish dishes, it pairs well and is pleasant from aperitif to main course.
