B‑21 website is a breeze to navigate so I ultimately found exactly what I wanted at a very competitive price point. The case I ordered earlier this week is scheduled to arrive Friday.

I have purchased from B‑21 for several years and I can honestly say that that are an excellent firm. Orders were filled accurately and professionally. Shipping was always timely. I’ll continue to do business with them.

I recently dined at a Greek restaurant and fell in love with this wine. looked everywhere for it and found it here at B‑21. I bought a case and bonus, they offered free shipping (their $12.00 shipping fee isn't bad either for less than a case). The best part was that it was delivered a day earlier than expected. Would definitely buy here again. Thank you B‑21 for great service.

I have been buying ~2 cases of wine per month for 5‑6 years from B‑21, and there has yet to be a problem with a single bottle. The orders are always filled correctly and the wine itself is always in good shape ‑ a great company.

2019 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo (750ml)

Trebbiano from Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, Abruzzo, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation

“Time has arrived to be releasing the Casa Pepe / Branella single vineyard vinification. 2020 was the first vintage on this journey and has continued since. The Old Vines Selection is now split in the parcellaire vinification of our two oldest plots.'

Chiara Pepe - 5th Generation

Among the rarest and highly allocated red wines of Italy, these impeccably aged Montepulciano d’Abruzzo selections from Emidio Pepe are meticulously crafted to offer the purest and most complex expression of the Montepulciano grape, all one of a kind, limited releases offering Italian wine lovers a unique opportunity to be “wowed” by Pepe’s legendary wines and a must for serious collectors to acquire without hesitation.

Located on a hilltop with stunning views of Abruzzo’s rolling countryside, the cellars of Emidio Pepe are filled with more than 350,000 bottles that have been reserved from recent vintages for extended cellaring and a library of back vintages that are released in small quantities each year, “essentially time capsules of the grape” according to Vinous critic Eric Guido, all pristinely aged to develop extraordinary complexity. Sourced from around three hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Teramo in northern Abruzzo, the grapes for the Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne come from old vines around 50 years of age planted in clay and limestone soils, with temperatures moderated by the Apennine mountains to the north and nearby Adriatic Sea. Harvesting and crushing the grapes by hand, the old vine Montepulciano is fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts and aged completely without oak, spending 24 months in glass-lined cement tanks before extended cellar aging in bottle of over five years, each library bottle decanted by hand into a new bottle and sealed with a new cork bearing the date of decanting upon its release. The harmonious 95 pt. 2007 Vecchie Vigne is “a dark and penetrating red wine” that “confirms the hype that surrounds Emidio Pepe” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner. The powerfully aromatic 94 pt. 2003 Vecchie Vigne is a “dark, imposing Montepulciano” that “comes together beautifully in the glass” according to Antonio Galloni, while the muscular 95 pt. 2001 Vecchie Vigne is “rich and dense” with a decades’ long aging potential, a library selection that was decanted and recorked. Also from the library, the stunning 97 pt. 2000 Vecchie Vigne is described as a “big, powerful wine packed with dark fruit” by Galloni.

Celebrating over 50 years as Abruzzo’s most iconic winery and a favorite of wine critics and insiders alike, these selections of Emidio Pepe’s legendary Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne are the region’s most coveted and longest-lived wines, this small release certain to sell out quickly and be savored by a fortunate few.

95V

The most inviting mix of lemon oils, musky pear and peach, raw almond, ginger, iodine and yellow flowers wafts up from the 2019 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne. It’s pliant, yet almost buoyant, seeming to hover across the palate with notes of apricot and salty mineral tones that are nicely offset by a pretty inner sweetness. The 2019 becomes perfumed throughout the saline-tinged finale, as inner florals slowly taper off. There’s a density and balance here that should unfold beautifully over the course of the next decade.

95 points, Eric Guido, Vinous (Oct 2022)
