Description
The Trebbiano della Torricella 1976 Zuliani Emilio is a rare historic white wine from central Italy, produced in a traditional style typical of older Trebbiano-based winemaking. It reflects a period when Trebbiano was often crafted for longevity and regional expression rather than modern aromatic intensity.
Tasting notes:
The 1976 vintage is now fully mature and evolved, showing a clear tertiary profile. The nose opens with aromas of dried apple, candied citrus peel, chamomile, hay, almond skin, and subtle honeyed notes. With aeration, deeper nuances of wax, dried herbs, and earthy undertones may emerge.
On the palate it is soft, dry, and gently rounded, with acidity now integrated into a more delicate structure. The fruit has shifted toward dried and oxidative tones, supported by light nutty and mineral sensations. The finish is moderate in length, savory, and delicately earthy, typical of long-aged Trebbiano wines from the era.
Serving & food pairing:
Best served at 10–12°C, ideally with minimal handling due to its age and fragility.
It pairs well with:
Light antipasti and cured meats
Mild cheeses
Mushroom-based dishes
Simple baked fish or white meats
Traditional rustic central Italian cuisine
Producer:
Zuliani Emilio is a traditional small-scale producer associated with historic regional winemaking in Italy, where wines like Trebbiano della Torricella were typically produced in limited quantities and intended for local consumption and aging rather than modern commercial distribution.
