Valle Reale Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Popoli 2023

Valle Reale Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Popoli is a distinctive white wine from Abruzzo, made from 100% Trebbiano and shaped by the region’s mountain air and mineral-rich soils. Valle Reale is known for giving this traditional grape real character and precision, resulting in a wine that feels both authentic and polished. It’s a compelling expression of Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC, with a balance of freshness, texture, and a clearly regional identity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a straw-yellow color with golden reflections, hinting at its depth and maturity. The nose is broad and refined, offering smoky mineral notes layered with saffron, cedar, wild flowers, white pepper, lychee, pineapple in syrup, mint, sage, and red currant. On the palate, the wine is supple yet structured, with lively freshness and a pleasantly energetic, spicy edge. Citrus and mineral notes carry through the finish, which is long, soft, and persistent. This is a white wine with enough character to age gracefully for a few years, gaining further complexity over time.

Production
The vineyards are situated in Popoli at 350 to 400 meters above sea level, where the cooler Abruzzese climate helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The soils are stony with a moderate clay content, contributing both tension and texture to the wine. Harvesting and vinification details are not provided, but the wine is clearly made with a focus on expressing the purity and personality of Trebbiano in this terroir.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta dishes, vegetable risotto, and poultry with herbs. It also works well with aged cheeses and dishes featuring saffron or subtle spice. Serve chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and decanting is not necessary unless you wish to open up the aromatics slightly before serving.
