Trebbiano is perhaps Italy's favorite grape. This variety is universally appreciated for its versatility. Il Cigno Bianco combines Trebbiano with a well-known grape: Chardonnay. These grapes complement each other surprisingly well, bringing out the best in each other. The abundance of sunshine the grapes enjoy in Abruzzo results in a wonderfully fruity wine with fresh notes. After the long ripening period on the vines, it's time to harvest the bunches. This is always done mechanically and at night, when the risk of damage to the bunches is least. Upon arrival, the bunches are placed on sorting tables to ensure only the best grapes are pressed. The resulting juice is exceptionally pure and elegant.
The aroma is rich in fruit, but also a subtle floral note. We even detected hints of honey somewhere in the distance. This honeyed aroma is also present in the taste, creating the perfect balance of fruitiness without the wine becoming overly acidic. It's no wonder Il Cigno Bianco has been one of the best-selling wines in this price range for years.
