The 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo tricks you into thinking it may be a rich and heady wine with its seductive mix of vanilla-tinged yellow flowers, sweet smoke and custard that greet the senses. However, with time in the glass, a core of vivid peach and hints of orange oils emerge. It’s seamlessly smooth and expansive, coasting along the palate with silken textures that host ripe apple and melon tones. The 2020’s minerality comes forward in the finale, with a salty flourish that gives way to nuances of pear. While I don’t find the structure of past vintages here, I do find a highly enjoyable and masterfully balanced Trebbiano that will make collectors very happy through short-term cellaring.
