Frequently asked about Cirelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Anfora
How is the Trebbiano vinified?
Destemmed grapes go into amphora for a 24 hour maceration, are soft-pressed the next day and the must ferments spontaneously.
How long is the amphora ageing?
Eighteen months in buried terracotta, where the estate says slow constant micro-oxygenation makes the palate softer and the aromas more complex.
When is it bottled?
Two years after the harvest, from vineyards farmed organically and biodynamically at Atri.
