"Testarossa" Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Superiore DOP 2021

The company's flagship wine, the Testarossa line is the one that best sums up the company philosophy of wanting to remain strongly tied to family traditions and history. This historic label was created to celebrate the superb beauty of the red-haired women of the Pasetti family. A historical indigenous Abruzzi grape, Trebbiano is one of the most interesting varieties for the production of white wines intended for long ageing. For its Testarossa white, Pasetti chooses to age the wine in steel on the noble lees and subsequent bottle ageing. A French style, one might say, reinterpreted in an Abruzzese key. The result, however, is decidedly interesting. In the glass it reveals a fascinating bright straw yellow colour, exploding with its bouquet of citrus and yellow-fleshed fruit, with delicate nuances of flint. A wine of excellent sapidity and minerality. The imprint of clean freshness and acidity is complemented by good persistence and structure, great roundness and a slightly almondy finish. A well-balanced, rich, rightly complex wine that is destined to stand the test of time. A bottle should be kept in the cellar to see how it evolves.
