Tasting Notes: Branella is a 2 hectare vineyard, planted in 1966, that faces south-east. The clay soils here have more sand, allowing more vine penetration. Ripe, juicy grapes make this a real showstopper of a wine. Balance and length on the palate are off the charts here, with the ripe frame of brambly fruit well supported by fine tannins, and a clean acidity.
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.
