Ruggito Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore 2020

Az. Agr. Buzzarone is more than a winery: it is the fulfilment of a dream, pursued with great courage since 2015 building on the grandfather's legacy, with the aim of enhancing the character of the territory. This is how the Ruggito Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore was born. Ruggito Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore We are in Fraz. Castelferrato, in the province of Chieti. The soils of our hills are mostly medium-textured clay and rich in nutrients. Here we can say that nature has been extremely generous. On one side, the proximity of Monte Majella brings marked temperature swings between day and night. On the other, the nearby body of water helps to temper the air. Finally, the sea breeze from the Adriatic contributes to the savouriness and minerality that define our wines. We farm our land following the organic philosophy. We follow the natural rhythm without forcing anything. We keep our fields grassed, which also prevents soil erosion. Sustainability matters to us and we use only naturally derived products. In everything we do, we put quality before quantity. In the cellar: Here too the philosophy is the same: we pursue non-invasive practices. Vinification follows traditional artisanal methods, enhanced by modern oenological knowledge. The wine is then refined solely through the practice of bâtonnage, which enriches its complexity and extends its longevity while highlighting its natural organoleptic characteristics. We carry on the family tradition that has always embraced the art of the winegrower. Our wines are native to Abruzzo and vinified as single varietals. They are made only in stainless steel, for maximum varietal and territorial expression.
