In 2020, our winemaker tasted the Trebbiano and immediately sensed something extraordinary in its raw character. Inspired by its complexity, he was determined to ferment it in oak, but during the chaos of harvest, the only barrel we could find was an unexpected treasure—a half-American, half-French oak barrel, originally crafted for a wine fair. This unique combination of woods imparted bold flavors, adding richness and depth to the wine. The result is a Trebbiano with a strong, vibrant taste that marries the warmth of American oak with the elegance of French oak, creating a structured, yet refined wine. Today, we’ve made this barrel our signature, using it exclusively to bring out the full power and nuance of this exceptional wine.
