Contesa Trebbiano d’Abruzzo

A multi-layered, complex nose opens out in the glass to give ripe stone fruit and citrus backed by toasty, yeasty characters. Pleasantly rustic but with youthful fruit too, hints of preserved lemons and aromas of woodsmoke, butterscotch and wild herbs. The palate starts fresh and taut with a core of concentrated dried fruit characters. This gives way to a creamy, textural, gently nutty mid palate with depth and structure. A serious wine with a persistent, complex and savoury finish. Beautifully textural and complex, part skin fermented white from a small block of 25 year old Trebbiano d'Abruzzo on the Pasetti family's Collecorvino estate. Sustainably produced with minimal intervention - wild ferment, low sulphur, no fining, just 3,000 bottles produced.
