Masses of exotic florals combine with dried apricots, sour melon and fermented ginger as the 2022 Bianco Colle Fregiara blossoms in the glass. Texturally deep, it flows across the palate with silken waves, displaying honeyed pit fruits offset by savory spice. Raw almonds contrast with candied limes as the 2022 tapers off long and staining. A salty mineral tinge adds gobs of complexity. This is a Trebbiano Spoletino that ferments and refines the whole berries for ten months in amphora. For fans of the style, this is not to be missed. Annesanti continues to overperform. – 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.
