A rounded white from stewards of the land. Azienda Agricola Tiberio is based in the town of Cugnoli, just west of the port city of Pescara in Abruzzo. Tiberio was started in 2000 by Riccardo Tiberio who found a plot of Trebbiano Abruzzese, a rarity compared to the much more common and related but very different Trebbiano Tuscano (aka Ugni Blanc). Wanting to preserve this land that has had vines on it since Roman times, he purchaced it with the help of a vine nursery. Now being run by his children Cristiana and Antonio, Tiberio wants to carry this site's long legacy forward by focusing on native varietals and practicing sustainable agriculture.
This wine is made from 100% of the aforementioned Trebbiano Abruzzese, with average vine ages of 69 years. After pressing the must is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with native yeasts and with no malolactic. Afterward it is aged purely in bottle.
This intriguing medium bodied white has notes of yellow apple, anise, apricot and almond.
