Molise Trebbiano DOC Colle dei Pastini Cantina San Zenone

The Trebbiano, after the Montepulciano, is the most grown grape variety in Molise. The peculiarity of this neutral variety is that it can have a long refinement: many Trebbiano wines are aged and refined for few years because this grape variety is able to reach an high percentage of alcohol but without loosing its acidity and aromas. San Zenone winery produces two types of 100% Trebbiano. The basic Trebbiano Colle dei Patini is a fresh and enveloping wine, made in reduction in order to enhance the fruity notes which this grape can express during its first years, before that the primary aromas will turn into tertiary aromas. The Trebbiano Colle dei Pastini is kept in steel tanks for several months and batonnage is carried out weekly to bring the lees back to surface and so to give more body to the wine.
