It is the most famous white grape variety in Abruzzo and a choice, that of Cantina Tollo , to give it a version from 100% organic grapes, grown in the vineyards located on the hills of the province of Chieti. The Trebbiano harvest is carried out starting from the second half of September followed by crushing and destemming and a cold maceration, to extract as much as possible the aromatic components of the vine, known for not being among the most fragrant. And it is precisely the respect for the raw material, at Cantina Tollo , that makes the difference, culminating in the refinement in stainless steel in order not to cover or alter in any way the very essence of Trebbiano, a wine that has always made simplicity its force.

Taste the Authenticity of Natural Wines!
Natural wines are an increasingly popular choice among consumers, offering a unique and authentic taste experience. If you're looking to learn more about natural wines and how to try them, you've come to the right place. In this article we will look at what natural wines are, how they are made, and how they can best be savored.
What is a Natural Wine?
A natural wine is a wine produced without the use of additives, pesticides or other chemicals. Natural wines are produced only with grapes, water and yeast, and are produced in a way that best preserves the natural taste of the grape. They are also generally produced in small quantities which means that each bottle of natural wine is unique and offers a unique tasting experience.
How Are Natural Wines Made?
Natural wines are produced using grapes, water and yeast. The production process is very different from that used to produce conventional wines. The first thing to know is that natural winemakers do not use additives, pesticides or other chemicals. Instead, they try to work with the grape in order to best preserve its natural flavor, carefully choosing the plants and carefully tending the vines.
Once the grapes have been harvested, they are macerated for 12-14 days at a controlled temperature. This leads to a greater extraction of aromas and flavors which give the wine its rich complexity. The wine is then fermented in wooden barrels or concrete vats. This fermentation process is slow and can last from two to six months. Fermentation in wooden barrels gives the wine added complexity, while fermentation in concrete vats gives the wine greater freshness.
How to Taste a Natural Wine?
Savoring a natural wine is a unique experience that offers a rich complexity of aromas and flavours. To better enjoy a natural wine, it is important to prepare the glass properly. The glass should be rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth to remove any chemical residue. Therefore, the glass should be filled up to half with wine to get a good oxygenation.
Once ready, take a sip of the wine and savor it slowly. Savor the color, aroma, taste and texture of the wine. Try to get all the aromas and flavors of grapes, like fruit, grass, hay, chocolate and so on. Also taste the complexity of the wine, feeling how the aromas and flavors evolve over time.
Conclusion
Natural wines are a great choice for those looking for an authentic and unique tasting experience. They are produced without the use of additives, pesticides or other chemicals, and are produced in a way that best preserves the natural taste of the grape. As we have seen, natural wines are produced with grapes, water and yeast, and are fermented slowly. To best enjoy a natural wine, it is important to prepare the glass properly and taste slowly, trying to capture all the aromas and flavours, and savoring the complexity of the wine.
