Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
Mostly a neutral, cheap white with lemon, green apple and little else, but the true Trebbiano Abruzzese in the hands of Valentini, Pepe and Tiberio (Fonte Canale) becomes something else: waxy, smoky, with chamomile, quince, wet stone and an ability to age 20 years. Acid is moderate, texture is the point. Taste a cheap one and a great one side by side and the gap is startling.

If you make Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
