Ready, but will keep,
Despite a very modest 12.5% abv, this Colline Teramane DOCG wine punches above its weight, enhanced no doubt by the stupendous 2010 vintage. A luminous lime-green gold, the nose pings with root ginger and citronelle, of candied citrus fruit even. Precise yet unhurried, the palate charms with lime skin zest, with essential oils and sapidity. It’s so exciting to be able to bring Abruzzo wines of this calibre to your attention; to give them the credit they’re due.

Ready, but will keep,
From vines close to the Adriatic coast, and to Giulianova, home to the Faraone family, this modest 12.5 percent white gleams a young gold colour. The tidy but intriguing nose of acacia honey, lemon zest, aniseed, even of mandarin and apple core, is refreshed by Adriatic sea-saltiness.
Unoaked, vinified on its lees for a year, the palate is similarly sapid yet intensely sunny, with pithy citrus, cool white currant, fleshy yet trim and to the point. A wonderful example of those Abruzzese whites, this is perfect with sea fish.
Drink 2016-2025.

Trebbiano is a high yielding white wine grape variety, originated in the South-Eastern Mediterranean. Italy still has extensive plantings of the grape (it accounts for over half of the white wines in the country, with diminishing importance in the recent years).
It is also found in France, where it is known by the name of Ugni Blanc as a major component in Armagnac and Cognac that benefit from its high acidity and subtle flavours.
Trebbiano’s received some poor press over the years being responsible perhaps for too many anodyne Italian whites (and red blends!). However, a new broom across the country has been sweeping away the poorer clones and practices in favour of something far more respectable, such as the examples produced by Monte del Frà
