Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC Organic Grapes

Although the DOC rules for Trebbiano d’Abruzzo permit some of the highest yields in Italy (5.6 tons

per acre), Valle Reale coaxes much less (4.4 tons per acre) from their Trebbiano vines for maximum

concentration of aromas and flavors. Valle Reale’s Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is the product of certified

Organic grapes which undergo spontaneous fermentation that is carried out by indigenous yeasts. All

of this helps to create a wine that is truly unique and reflective of its terroir.

Vigna di Capestrano Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC

As the label reads, this wine is “spontaneously fermented” and “unfiltered.” The first statement means

that only natural or “wild” yeasts are used in the vinification of this wine. Unfiltered wines are not passed

through a micron filter prior to bottling. Together, these processes result in a fuller, more terroir-driven

wine with a delicious character all its own.

Vigneto di Popoli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC

Because of its unique location, Valle Reale has redefined Montepulciano d’Abruzzo: Valle Reale’s vineyards

are nestled into one of Italy’s most beautiful national parks. This rich wine is made from 100% Montepulciano

d’Abruzzo grown in the oldest estate vineyards on soils rich in chalk, clay and pebbles. Harvested by hand

in November, the grapes are gently pressed and macerated with the skins for ten days to ensure ideal color

concentration and structure.
