Cantina Emidio Pepe - La memoria storica del Montepulciano d' Abruzzo

[EN] In the final episode of the season, we visit a true living legend of Italian winemaking. Emidio Pepe himself opens the doors to his winery in Torano Nuovo. Emidio was the first to believe in the potential of Abruzzo's three main native grape varieties: Montepulciano, Trebbiano, and Pecorino. In the 1960s, when Italian winemaking was still at a nascent and uneven stage of development, his intuition was to create wines of absolute quality from local varieties with minimal but targeted interventions both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Wines that at the time were considered true table foods, when left to age for decades in the cellar, have revealed themselves to be true treasures worthy of preservation, with unexpected and prodigious potential. Today this family legacy is in the wise hands of the new generations for a taste-time continuum that we will all be able to enjoy for decades to come [EN] In the last episode of the season we pay visit to a true living legend of Italian enology.
