Tiberio, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2022

92 points Vinous
"Dusty florals, young peach, incense and mint form a captivating bouquet as the 2022 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo opens in the glass. This balances vividly ripe orchard fruits with minerals and spice as a core of zesty acidity maintains a fantastic balance. The 2022 is superbly balanced and finishes remarkably fresh yet long and sapid. Frankly, it’s incredible that this is Tiberio’s “entry-level” Trebbiano d’Abruzzo."

Vinous Reverie Notes
The story of Azienda Agricola Tiberio begins at 350 meters, twenty-three miles inland from the seaside city of Pescara near the hillside town of Cugnoli. Here, Riccardo Tiberio found an old plot of Trebbiano Abruzzese vines roughly 50 years old so impressive that he decided to change his and his family’s destiny. These are old-vine, limestone-terroir wines that we absolutely adore.
Clear, bright yellow with green highlights. Fresh aromas of apricot, jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and anise. The palate is clean and crisp with zingy flavors and scents of green apple, anise and almonds.
Pair with freshwater fish, seafood, eggs, vegetable starters, and fried foods.
