From: Umbria: Peeling Back the Layers (Oct 2024) The 2023 Bianco Fonte Farro, a varietal Grechetto, is deep golden in color. Its rich bouquet offers crushed almonds and hazelnuts, baked apples and pears. This is far more juicy and energetic than its aromatics hint at, sweeping across the palate with mineral-laced orchard fruits and citrusy spices. Zesty acidity adds a mouth-watering quality as the 2023 tapers off long and wickedly fresh. Ginger and tart melon notes stick around. – By Eric Guido on August 2024

Vinous Media’s Eric Guido on August 2024:
The Annesanti wines continue to impress. Based in Valnerina, a pristine and cooler part of Umbria in the southernmost tip of the region, Francesco Annesanti owns and manages the winery and vineyards. The property consists of 1.9 hectares planted by Annesantis grandfather in the 1960s and 4 hectares replanted over the years. Annesanti personally performs nearly all the work on the vineyards, which are farmed with organic and biodynamic principles. The wines are all raised in either stainless steel or amphora, often with a large amount of skin contact and as little intervention as possible. Such transparent winemaking yields wines of depth and complexity that are wild yet balanced, with their exotic bouquets and pure energy on the palate. The wines are nearly impossible to put down. I cant recommend them highly enough.
