2023 Villa Medoro Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC, Abruzzo

Villa Medoro Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC from Abruzzo is a fresh, aromatic and beautifully balanced white wine that captures the charm and authenticity of Italy’s Adriatic coast. Produced by the Medoro family estate, located near Atri in the heart of Abruzzo’s rolling hills, this Trebbiano is a wonderful expression of the region’s maritime climate and mineral-rich soils. It’s an honest, vibrant wine that offers both immediate enjoyment and a glimpse into the understated elegance of central Italy’s whites.

The vineyards lie between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, where warm days, cool nights and steady sea breezes help retain freshness and fragrance in the fruit. The grapes are hand harvested at optimal ripeness, gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve their natural aromatics and purity. Lees contact adds subtle texture and a delicate savoury note that lifts the palate without overpowering its crisp freshness.

In the glass it shines pale straw with green reflections. The aroma is bright and inviting, showing notes of white peach, pear, citrus zest and almond blossom with a gentle hint of sea spray. On the palate it is dry, clean and refreshing, with flavours of lemon, green apple and pear balanced by lively acidity and a soft, rounded texture. The finish is long, mineral and mouthwatering, reflecting the wine’s coastal origins and natural balance.

Villa Medoro Trebbiano d’Abruzzo pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, salads, or antipasto. It’s also ideal with light pasta dishes, vegetable risotto or fresh cheeses. Best enjoyed in its youth for its vibrancy and lift, it’s a classic example of how Trebbiano can deliver finesse and value when handled with care and precision.
