Trebbiano Spoletino “Etichetta Verde”

Uncategorized

One of Italy’s most thrilling rediscovered whites, from a historic Umbrian estate. Founded in 1884 and run by the Pambuffetti family since 1954, Cantina Scacciadiavoli—”cast out the devils”—has been at the forefront of Trebbiano Spoletino’s revival, a native grape grown only in the hills around Spoleto and Montefalco. Harvested late in October and vinified in amphorae, with part of the must macerating on the skins, this wine is then aged nine months in a mix of clay amphorae and untoasted barrels, plus a further nine months in bottle. The result is a white of real depth and mystery: straw-gold in the glass, spice-driven on the nose—turmeric, white pepper, chamomile, and dried herbs woven through ripe orchard fruit, nuts, and citrus—and gloriously fresh on the palate, crisp and mineral with fine texture and a long, mouthwatering finish.
