Tasting notes

Amorotti's Trebbiano walks a precise line: skin contact adds a creamy, slightly grippy texture and a faint amber tint, but the wine stays laser-focused — chamomile, sour peach, lemon peel, and a flinty mineral vein that persists through a long finish. It drinks closer to a serious white Burgundy in structure than to a funky orange wine, which is what makes it genuinely interesting.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Producer profile

Amorotti

Amorotti is the wine label of Gaetano Carboni, a lawyer by training who chose to devote himself to his family's historic farm in Loreto Aprutino rather than practice law. The estate dates to 1521 and has long been a mixed agricultural property — the family's primary business was olive oil; Carboni's grandfather was the first Italian producer to export extra virgin olive oil to the United States, in 1905. The family still operates an olive oil museum in the village. Wine grapes were historically grown for personal consumption or sold off in bulk.

The farm covers approximately 14 to 16 hectares of vineyards planted on clay-limestone soils at around 300 meters elevation with southeast exposure, roughly 15 kilometers from the Adriatic coast. The property is certified organic. Vines are trained on the traditional pergola abruzzese (Tendone) system. Carboni's neighbor, the legendary Abruzzo producer Valentini, assisted with clonal selections in the vineyard and barrel selection for the cellar when Carboni began preparing for commercial production. The first commercially released vintage was 2016.

Fermentation across all Amorotti wines is spontaneous, driven by indigenous yeasts native to the ancient brick-and-stone cellar beneath the family's Palazzo in central Loreto Aprutino. Carboni limits visits to the cellar to protect the unique microbial ecosystem that defines his winemaking. For the Trebbiano, grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted, then fermented with skin contact in untoasted Slavonian oak vessels. The wine ages for over a year in 550-liter untoasted Slavonian oak tonneaux, followed by at least six months in bottle. It is not fined and is bottled with low or no added sulfites.

Wine region

Abruzzo, Italy

Abruzzo sits on Italy's central Adriatic coast, flanked to the west by the Apennines and the Gran Sasso — the highest peak on the Italian peninsula. The region spans four provinces: Chieti, Pescara, Teramo, and L'Aquila. Vineyards eligible for the Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC are restricted to hilly or highland terrain below 600 meters elevation (700 meters for south-facing sites). The climate is Mediterranean along the coast, with increasingly continental conditions inland; diurnal temperature swings at elevation preserve acidity in the grapes.

The Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC was established in 1972 and is the only Abruzzo appellation devoted exclusively to white wine. The DOC permits a minimum of 85% Trebbiano Abruzzese and/or Trebbiano Toscano, with Bombino Bianco, Cococciola, Passerina, and Malvasia permitted in the remainder. Trebbiano Abruzzese is considered genetically distinct from — and qualitatively superior to — Trebbiano Toscano; the two have historically been confused in the vineyard, though quality-focused producers like Amorotti work exclusively with the indigenous Abruzzese variety. Loreto Aprutino, in the hills of Pescara province, is the appellation's most respected sub-territory, producing wines of notable minerality from clay-limestone soils with southeast exposure between 280 and 350 meters elevation.
