Controvento 'Alto Mare' Bianco 2021 | Abruzzo, Italy

A fresh, lively, and textural Trebbiano blend, from the Adriatic coast and tasting like it too.

Producer: Vini Controvento

Region: Rocca San Giovanni - Chieti, Abruzzo

Grapes: Trebbiano, Malvasia di Candia, Passerina, and Fiano

Rich golden-yellow fruits, wild florals, hints of herbs, and a touch of salinity on the nose. Lush flavours of citrus fruit and ripe apricot on the first sip, all fresh, dried, and candied, supported by subtle dried herbs and a crisp sea-breeze lick.

Bright and lively on the palate, soft and lushly textured with a touch of crispness, and a fresh acid core of mineral-salinity.
