From the (brilliant, Italian specialist importer) "Been working on this wine for a few years (to nail it stylistically). Unfined, unfiltered Trebbiano that is made in a really hands off way. Has the saltiness that I love in Trebb when it is left to it’s own devices and it is a variety that if you filter, you really strip the soul out of if.
We made merely 300 dozen which was basically gobbled up by the Australian wine trade before release."
Region
Ancient towns perched atop hills with commanding views, sun-drenched days and hillsides dotted with vines and olive trees. The sunlight, the food and wine. Tuscany is a remarkable place. The white wines are crisp and savoury, Trebbiano is widely planted along with Malvasia, Vermentino and Vernaccia, the latter staring in the excellent Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Sangiovese is the undisputed king of the red grape varieties and is the base of such well known wines as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. International grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot are also planted and in the DOC Bolgheri region, when blended with Sangiovese, the famous ‘Super Tuscan’ (now designated IGT) wines were born, the most famous examples being Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Tignanello. From sapid, racy whites through to savoury Chainti’s and bold IGT expressions, Tuscany offers much to the wine drinker and is firmly cemented as one of the world's great wine regions. Local Knowledge: It is possible to base yourself in Florence and venture out on day trips to tackle Tuscany’s famous wine towns but spend at least one night in a quintessential Tuscan town like Montepulciano.
