Marramiero Altare Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 05

When you think of Trebbiano (also known as Ugni Blanc in France), it is refreshing, clean fruit such as muscut with slightly bitter finish and I would normaly consider this grape as vin de table as it is known for high volume in the vineyards and doesn't have a reputation for producing dynamic wines.

This wine maker Marramiero has become one of the best wine makers in Abruzzo with over 100 year history in its land of Pescara. With its Altare series, it will blow away your image of Trebbiano.
Its flavour is intense, interfusion of  reminiscence of citrus fruit, nuts and spices with long finish and colour of  luminous gold.

I personally think it would match perfect with pistachio cream sauce ravioli filled with pork and caramelised onions, or fresh chevre cheese such as Sainte Maure.

I've started drooling. Let's try to cook them soon...!
