2023 Amorotti Trebbiano D'Abruzzo

The 2023 Amorotti Trebbiano is a profound and "hands-off" white wine from the noble terroir of Loreto Aprutino—the same village home to the legendary Valentini. Crafted by Gaetano Carboni, this wine is fermented spontaneously and aged for over a year in large 550L untoasted oak casks, avoiding the use of stainless steel entirely. The nose is heady and inviting, offering a complex bouquet of chamomile, ripe peaches, and acacia flowers layered with sophisticated notes of dried fruit, honey, and wild Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is structured and full-bodied, balancing a rich, waxy texture with a striking saline minerality and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and savory, marked by a classic nutty nuance and a clean, "grainy" persistence that reflects its traditional upbringing. A deep and highly individual white that stands as one of the most exciting artisanal expressions in Abruzzo today.
