Tasting Notes: Casa Pepe is a parcel located directly in front of the estate. This tiny 0.8 hectare vineyard is south facing, planted pergole style in the early 1970’s with massale selection by Emidio. Soils are the classic blue clay-marl with gravel and less sand than Branella. Wines here are earthier, with the slower ripening of the grapes adding to the complexity of the fine tannins in the wine. Iron, burst berries, dried herbs and some of the finest tannins mark this as a truly exceptional wine.
Estate History: The biodynamic master of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Emidio Pepe started his estate in Torano Nuovo Abruzzo in 1964 after learning from his father and grandfather, who both produced wines for Casa Pepe going back to 1889. Emidio saw untapped potential for both Montepulciano and Trebbiano Abruzzi grape types and began work to bring them to their full potential.
Now, 60 years later, this estate is run by Emidio's Granddaughter Chiara and with the help of the entire family continues to be the benchmark for quality in Abruzzo.
