Tasting notes
The nose here is complex – with notes of honey, chamomile, tarragon, bruised apple and a praline richness. The palate, meanwhile, feels brilliantly youthful, with lime sherbet and chalky minerality driving long into the mouthwatering finish.

The 2015 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canale maintains its rock-star status. Dusty sage and white smoke give way to tangerine, lemon zest and hazelnut. With maturity, this has taken on a lovely inner sweetness yet is still precise and focused. A whiplash of acidity and stern mineral core perfectly offset its tart orchard fruits and inner spiciness. The 2015 finishes with outstanding length and concentration, leaving a lemon and lime freshness while a Hinty tinge lingers on and on. Readers with the 2015 in their cellar should be smiling from ear to ear
