Masciarelli are a big deal

It would be romantic to tell you that Masciarelli is a small artisanal producer, where nonno presses the grapes, while nonna rolls spliffs from fresh pasta sheets on the back porch. But the truth of the matter is that, for this SKU alone, Masciarelli produce more than 150,000 bottles of Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. So…once you’ve had time to let your artisanal dreams die, take time to appreciate just how impressive this wine is, given that it was produced in unequivocally industrial quantities, but still manages to be clean, expressive, and textured.

👃🏼 – The vanguard is fresh, but not simple. It forms a lovely mix of white pear, peach fruit, homemade lemonade and some lemon blossom to elevate the whole affair.

👄 – On the palate, the fruit is remarkably weighty, which is all the more impressive when we remember that this is a commercial production, where high yielding vines are a necessity.

🔬 – 100% Trebbiano Toscana, from Abruzzo DOC. Fruit was harvested from three vineyard, with altitudes ranging from 250m all the way up to 400m ASL. Grapes are pressed, and the juice is then tank-fermented, and allowed to settle in stainless steel, before being racked into fresh stainless steel for maturation.
