Trebbiano Spoletino, Spoleto
Trebbiano Spoletino is undoubtedly among Italy’s most exciting new white varietals. With roots reaching far back into local history, it was recently rediscovered by some of Montefalco’s finest wineries, and is cultivated exclusively in the vineyards of Spoleto and Montefalco. Scacciadiavoli vinifies this wine in amphorae to emphasize Trebbiano Spoletino’s richly varied and unique aromas. The focus on bringing out the true nature of the varietal is further reinforced and supported through aging in un-toasted barrels and amphorae for nine-months..
