Description
WINEMAKER: Vittorio Mattioli
REGION: Umbria, IT
VARIETY: Trebbiano Spoletino
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"Direct-press white wine from 90-95 year old vines of the famous Trebbiano Spoletino, a grape that has been rediscovered in recent years, like it's neighbouring Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, to be capable of making great wines. Trebbiano is a catch-all name for white grapes in central Italy and this shares none of the bland grassy notes of some of it's cousins, this is richly fruited with peach, pineapple and lemon curd, tension and minerality abound and the length on the palate is lovely. A great Italian white wine. No additions and no filtering or fining."
Since the 1100s, the Mattioli family has lived in the tiny settlement the Romans deemed Collecapretta or “hill of the goats”. For generations, the Mattiolis have cultivated the rugged hillsides of this Umbrian village located just outside of Spoleto. Today, the farm is barely 8 hectares in total but boasts a dynamic mix of local olives trees, farro and other ancient grain plantings and about four hectare of indigenous old vines. The total production of Collecapretta is only about 8000 bottles during a good year, yet the family vinifies many different cuvées to show the various expressions their land is capable of.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
