Bianco D'Abruzzo MAGGIOCIONDOLO 2025

Tenuta Tre Gemme MAGGIOCIONDOLO 2025 is a distinctive and beautifully aromatic Italian white wine from the hills of Abruzzo, produced by the family-owned Tenuta Tre Gemme estate near Pescara. This unusual blend combines Riesling, Pecorino, Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, bringing together indigenous Italian and international grape varieties to create a wine with remarkable aromatic diversity.

The Perrucci family has cultivated vineyards in Abruzzo for generations. Today, sisters Carla and Anna Perrucci continue the family's winemaking tradition, combining modern techniques with careful vineyard management. The estate's vineyards extend across approximately 70 hectares between Catignano and Civitaquana, benefiting from Mediterranean sunshine and cooling influences from the nearby mountains.

MAGGIOCIONDOLO originates from vineyards at approximately 450 metres above sea level, with vines between 20 and 38 years old, planted on pebbly limestone soils. The combination of elevation, well-drained soils and contrasting daytime and nighttime temperatures encourages aromatic development while preserving natural freshness.

The 2025 displays a brilliant straw-yellow colour and a wonderfully expressive bouquet of lychee, ripe mango, pineapple and tropical fruits, complemented by bergamot, citrus zest and delicate yellow flowers. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, aromatic and beautifully balanced, with juicy tropical-fruit flavours, lively acidity and an elegant, refreshing finish.

The grapes are harvested in September and undergo cold skin maceration before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. This gentle technique helps extract and preserve the delicate aromatic compounds naturally present in the different grape varieties. The wine subsequently receives approximately three months of bottle refinement, without oak maturation, retaining its vibrant fruit character.

The 2025 vintage is especially appealing for its youthful freshness and expressive aromatics. Riesling contributes floral and citrus nuances, Pecorino adds freshness and structure, while Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco complement the blend with rounded fruit flavours and balance.

A wonderfully fragrant and distinctive Italian white – exotic tropical fruit, delicate flowers, refreshing citrus and an elegant finish. An excellent alternative to conventional Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, particularly for lovers of aromatic white wines.
