Tasting notes
Haneyed yet vibrantly fresh and mineral in style, the 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canale is fruit- intense at this early stage in its life, mixing candied citrus with tart green apples and a cascade of minty herbs and spice. Its acidity wins the day, precise and lifting, offsetting its depths of tart orchard fruit. It finishes long and potent with notes of nectarine and spice that linger on and on. While the 2022 vintage was warm, the season was blessed with rain in September that brought cooler temperatures. As a result, the wine has a core of zesty acidity to balance its rich fruit. This will be a vintage to watch closely.

The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canale lifts from the glass with utter poise. It's citric and mineral-driven, displaying a cascade of wildflowers, crushed rocks, nectarines and hints of raw almond. The 2022 is elegant in style with subtle textures and depths of saline-infused orchard fruits, all offset by a spike of lemony acidity. Saturating and long, it tapers off with a flinty personality, plus a twang of gingery spice that lingers so long. The 2022 is stacked, powerful and intense, but it has an inner harmony that soothes the soul.
