Honeyed 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.
