Production of Gianni Masciarelli Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC

The grapes for the Gianni Masciarelli Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC - Masciarelli come from selected sites in Abruzzo, on the slopes between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines. This region in central Italy experiences an exciting interplay of maritime and mountainous influences. Warm days meet cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromas while preserving their natural freshness. The limestone and clay soils shape the wine’s character with a fine mineral vein and support the clarity of the fruit.

The harvest is carried out carefully and with a focus on quality, ensuring that only ripe, aromatic grapes reach the cellar. Gentle handling of the harvested grapes preserves the delicate aromas of the Trebbiano variety. After pressing, cool fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, bringing the wine’s fruity character to the fore and emphasizing its precise, clear style. The winemaker deliberately avoids oak so that freshness, varietal character and origin remain at the center.

The wine continues to mature on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks. This contact with the lees gives it an additional creamy nuance and creates the dense, crisp texture on the palate. At the same time, freshness and lightness are fully preserved. The Masciarelli winery’s style combines traditional values from Abruzzo with modern cellar techniques. The aim is a white wine with expression, clarity, fruit intensity and elegance that authentically showcases the character of Trebbiano.

Serving recommendations for Gianni Masciarelli Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC

The wine accompanies a wide range of light and hearty dishes from Mediterranean cuisine. It is particularly appealing with pasta dishes in creamy sauces, grilled poultry or delicate veal dishes. It also shows its strengths with fresh seafood: grilled fish, prawns, mussels or squid harmonize ideally with its fresh acidity and fine minerality. Light dishes such as vegetable antipasti, vegetable risotto, Caprese or summer salads are also excellent matches.

For enjoyable occasions, this Trebbiano is suitable as an elegant aperitif at receptions, garden parties or on the terrace. Among friends, it accompanies relaxed evenings, tapas gatherings or a Mediterranean buffet featuring fish, light meats and vegetables. It also performs well as a table wine with a multi-course Italian meal, as it complements dishes pleasantly without overpowering them. Its taut structure and dry character provide clarity and drinking pleasure in convivial settings.

The ideal serving temperature is between 10 and 12 °C, preferably in a classic white wine glass. At this temperature, the fruit, acidity and minerality unfold especially harmoniously.

Cool, dark storage in a horizontal position, for example in a wine cellar or wine refrigerator, helps preserve its character.
