Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Tiberio 2025 (750ML)

Trebbiano Abruzzese is a different grape from Trebbiano Toscano, and Tiberio bottles it alone: 100% of the native variety, from a massal selection of 60- to 75-year-old vines on traditional pergola near Cugnoli, in Pescara province. The two plots sit at 350 meters on lean limestone over gravel and sand. Riccardo Tiberio founded the estate in 2000; today his daughter Cristiana makes the wine and his son Antonio tends the vines. Only free-run juice is used, fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, with no malolactic and a few months on fine lees. It is bone dry, carrying 7.1 g/l of acidity. Pale yellow with a green cast, it offers white flowers, pear, apricot, sage and anise, then a lean, precise palate that ends on lemon pith, almond, lime and a salty tang. Critics give it until 2031. Pour it with crudo, grilled sardines or fritto misto.
