Tiberio "FONTE CANALE" Trebbiano D'ABRUZZO
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 100% Trebbiano d'Abruzzese massal selection grapes, original to property; 93-year-old vines planted in limestone, marl-clay over sandstone-rich bedrock; fermented in stainless steel tanks using only indigenous yeasts; no secondary fermentation; aged 18 months in tank and bottle; bottled unfined and unfiltered. Ian D'agata 96 Points - "Pale yellow with gold-green highlights. Youthfully reticent but very pure and penetrating aromas of lime peel, lemon, almond flower and minerals. Deceptively open on entry in the manner of a great Chablis from Les Clos, with a suave set of citrus oil -accented flavours of orchard fruit and guava. Then much more like a Chablis from Blanchots on its lifted, fine-grained and extremely long mineral finish. A powerful, broad wine yet almost magically weightless as is absolutely typical of Fonte Canale, one of Italy's best 10-15 white wines in practically every vintage. The 2020 is good to drink now but will be so much better [three] years from now. Don't say I didn't warn you. 2027 â" 2035 " - Ian D'Agata,Terroirsense.com. This medium-light-bodied white from the humble Trebbiano Abruzzese variety shows off some of the heights that Italian whites can reach. Tiberio combines modern techniques to create a sleek, finessed, but still honest interpretation of the traditional wines of their region. Made from 90-year-old vines, with the free run juice only (which makes for the exceptionally soft texture in the wine), and aged only in stainless steel to emphasize freshness and purity of this exceptional fruit. This is a white to chill down and decant for an hour, or to age for up to a decade! |
