Tiberio Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2012

Gold-tinged straw-yellow. Strong notes of lime peel, peach, fresh herbs, ginger and white flowers on the nose. Very backward on the palate, with fresh apple and pear flavors joined by mounting tropical fruit notes on the back. The extremely long, palate-saturating finish is bright and floral. This is Tiberio's best young Trebbiano d'Abruzzo ever: a complex wine that combines minerality and orchard fruit flavors with more obvious ripe tropical fruits, all the while maintaining a degree of refinement. It had just been bottled when I tasted it. Score - 92. (Ian D'Agata, International Wine Cellar, March/April 2013)
