Vines are trained using the traditional pergola abruzzese (Tendone) system and farmed organically. The estate sits directly adjacent to Valentini, whose winemaker helped Gaetano Carboni with clonal and barrel selection when Amorotti began bottling commercially with the 2016 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking is minimal and traditional. Grapes are hand harvested and hand selected in the vineyard, then undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in untoasted Slavonian oak vessels, with skin contact lending texture and a light amber hue. The wine matures for over a year in 550-liter untoasted Slavonian oak tonneaux, followed by at least six months in bottle before release. It is not fined and is bottled with low or no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the wine opens with sour-sweet peach, chamomile, hazelnut, lemon peel, and a distinct flinty, saline minerality. The palate is medium-bodied but unusually precise — light on its feet, with a creamy texture offset by citrusy acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. This is not a big, oxidative orange wine; the skin contact provides structure and complexity without tipping into heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC was established in 1972 and covers all four provinces of Abruzzo. Loreto Aprutino, in Pescara province, is widely regarded as the appellation's finest sub-territory, with its clay-limestone soils, southeast-facing slopes, and position between the Gran Sasso massif and the Adriatic Sea giving the wines their signature minerality and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amorotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37374497521863,"sku":"AMORTREB17C","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/amorotti-trebbiano-d_abruzzo-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818889"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/amorotti.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
