Farnese Trebbiano 2004 WHITE Italy

Farnese is the success story of the region of Abruzzo (home to Montepulciano d'Abruzzo). 20-or-so years ago three 'musketeers' set about restoring pride to the name and this rugged stretch of the Adriatic coast. Since then their medal-tally has firmly established their place on the vinous map. A few years ago at Italy's most prestigious showcase VinItaly Farnese emerged as the most awarded estate and their Trebbiano followed by collecting 'White of the Year' at the International Wine Challenge. Mouthwateringly crisp and fresh Trebbiano grapes are hand-picked from vineyards high in the Abruzzo hills and gently oaked in the cool cellars of Casale Vecchio (the old castle) under the watchful eye of winemaker Filippo Baccalero. The result: freshly-sliced pear and ripe melon flavour mouthwatering crispness. Try with antipasto seafood risotto or as an aperitif.
