A vibrant and rustic red from Barbera and Bonarda, Trebbiolo is fermented naturally and bottled unfiltered. Juicy cherry and blackberry fruit is layered with earthy spice, leather, and wild herbs. This energetic and savory wine is ideal for pizza night or hearty pastas. No sulfites added, as pure and natural as it gets.

Notes

The La Stoppa "Trebbiolo" Rosso Emilia IGT is a vibrant and expressive red wine from the renowned natural wine producer La Stoppa, located in Emilia-Romagna. Under the leadership of Elena Pantaleoni, La Stoppa is known for its commitment to organic farming, minimal intervention, and wines that reflect the essence of the land. The Trebbiolo is made primarily from Barbera and Bonarda, two native grape varieties of the region, and it embodies the rustic, approachable charm of Emilia’s red wines. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled without filtration or added sulfur, this wine is a pure expression of its terroir. Trebbiolo bursts with aromas of red berries, wild herbs, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it’s lively and juicy, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and a touch of spice, making it an easy-drinking red that pairs well with a wide range of foods, from cured meats to pasta dishes. The Trebbiolo is a true reflection of La Stoppa's philosophy, delivering a natural, unpretentious wine that highlights the beauty of Emilia’s native grapes. It’s a fantastic choice for those seeking an authentic, characterful red that showcases the craftsmanship of one of Italy's leading natural wine producers.
