The 2022 Bianco Acqua della Serpa is a veritable florist shop on the nose, complicated by fermented ginger, tangerine and green melon. This reverberates with zesty tension while displaying soothingly round textures as a cascade of mineral-drenched orchard fruits saturates. Sour citrus appears toward the close. It finishes with staining length and an herbal-tea-like concentration, leaving the palate dry and perfectly refreshed. The Bianco Acqua della Serpa is an amphora-aged blend of Trebbiano Spoletino, Malvasia, Martone, Pecorino and Grechetto. Drinking Window: 2024 – 2029 – ByEric GuidoonAugust 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.
