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.

Natural wines are an increasingly popular choice among consumers, offering a unique and authentic tasting 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'll explore what natural wines are, how they're made, and how to best enjoy them.
What is a Natural Wine?
A natural wine is one produced without the use of additives, pesticides, or other chemicals. Natural wines are made only with grapes, water, and yeast, and are crafted to preserve the grape's natural flavor as much as possible. They are also generally produced in small quantities, meaning each bottle of natural wine is unique and offers a unique tasting experience.
How Are Natural Wines Made?
Natural wines are made using grapes, water, and yeast. The production process is very different from that used to make conventional wines. The first thing to know is that natural winemakers don't use additives, pesticides, or other chemicals. Instead, they strive to work with the grapes in a way that best preserves their natural flavor, carefully selecting their vineyards and caring for the vines.
Once the grapes are harvested, they are macerated for 12-14 days at a controlled temperature. This allows for greater extraction of aromas and flavors, giving 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 it greater freshness.
How to Enjoy a Natural Wine?
Savoring a natural wine is a unique experience that offers a rich complexity of aromas and flavors. To fully savor a natural wine, it's important to properly prepare the glass. The glass should be rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth to remove any chemical residue. Then, the glass should be filled halfway with wine to ensure proper aeration.
Once ready, take a sip of wine and savor it slowly. Savor the color, aroma, flavor, and texture of the wine. Try to capture all the aromas and flavors of the grape, such as fruit, grass, hay, chocolate, and so on. Also savor the complexity of the wine, noticing how the aromas and flavors evolve over time.
Conclusion
Natural wines are an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic and unique tasting experience. They are produced without the use of additives, pesticides, or other chemicals, and are crafted to best preserve the natural flavor of the grapes. As we've seen, natural wines are made with grapes, water, and yeast, and are fermented slowly. To fully savor a natural wine, it's important to properly prepare your glass and taste slowly, trying to capture all the aromas and flavors, and savoring the wine's complexity. If you're looking for an authentic and unique tasting experience, try a natural wine!
