Tiberio, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, Abruzzo, Italy, 2023

A massal selection of the abandoned vineyard discovered by Cristiana Tiberio and her father in 1999, this is unusual in using the local Trebbiano Abruzzese rather than the much more widespread Trebbiano Toscano. It's a vibrant, fresh and zesty expression, with sapid fruits and the variety's typical high acidity. Juicy apricot, mango, apple and orange peel are cut through by a lick of lime juice, all softly cushioned by some subtle leesiness in the background. Enjoy now or give it more time in the bottle to show what this grape is truly capable of.
