White wine | Abruzzo, Italy
Tenuta Trium’s Vino Bianco Macerato 2024 is an exceptional expression of Abruzzese winemaking, masterfully bridging the gap between historical tradition and modern skin-contact viticulture. Produced from Trebbiano d'Abruzzo grapes grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Teramo hills, this wine undergoes a careful maceration process on the skins, which imparts a striking golden hue and a profound, complex character.
On the nose, the wine greets you with a sophisticated bouquet of ripe white fruits, particularly peach and apricot, interwoven with subtle notes of citrus zest, dried flowers, and a touch of honeyed depth. The maceration is not just for show; it provides the wine with an impressive structural backbone, delicate but noticeable tannins, and a savory, dynamic mouthfeel that feels both grounded and vibrant. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance—possessing the freshness one expects from a white wine, yet with the layered complexity and persistence usually reserved for more robust, aged styles.
This is a versatile, gastronomic wine that truly shines at the table. It is an ideal companion for structured seafood dishes, such as grilled octopus or shellfish, and pairs magnificently with vegetable-forward primi piatti, aromatic herb-crusted dishes, or even white meats and hard, aged cheeses. Whether you are looking for a unique bottle to anchor a dinner party or simply seeking a meditative, thought-provoking glass, the Tenuta Trium Bianco Macerato offers a sensory journey that speaks clearly of its terroir and the artisanal passion behind its creation. It is a testament to the potential of Abruzzo when handled with such precision and respect for natural, expressive winemaking.
