Tasting Notes
Vivid yellow gold, the 2021 Bianco Colle Fregiara is a seductress. Rich and sweetly floral, with baked apple and pear give way to gingery spice. It's decidedly savory, showcasing mineral-tinged orchard fruits and exotic citrus, with a smoky tinge toward the close. This leaves a glycerol concentration to coat the palate even as it finishes dry and lightly structured with a suggestion of nectarine that lingers on. The Bianco Colle Fregiara is a variety Trebbiano Spoletino that refined for ten months in terracotta amphorae. It’s a gorgeous example of what can be achieved with the variety, and clocks in at an impressive 12.5% alcohol.
