Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Emidio Pepe 2021

Trebbiano Emidio Pepe 2021 natural wine, Abruzzo, no added sulphites.  Stunning mineral purity and developing complexity, delicious with cheeses or rich poultry dishes. The Trebbiano from Emidio Pepe is still a baby.  It is beautifully rich, though it also shows the yeasty youthful fruit of a young Pepe white which you know is going to develop into complexity in years to come. Natural production and generally no use of sulphur. This Iconic winery always makes beguiling wines that are a real experience to drink. The 2021 is still taught, very, very fresh, linear and mineral.  There is a delightful precision and salinity to the wine and this marks a departure from the more cidery, rustic, richer styles of previous years.  Whether this is a function of the vintage or a slight change in wine making from Chiara Pepe, we are not yet sure.  Nevertheless, the wine is superb and fantastically easy to drink.  With age this wine like all the Pepe whites will become a sublime nectar which tastes expensive and is expensive.
