Cocktail

Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2018

Recipe

A wine this singular should not be mixed. Serve it at cellar temperature (55°F) in a wide-bowled white wine glass and let it evolve over an hour. As it warms, the Honey and Toasted notes will amplify and the acidity will soften into something almost unctuous.
