“The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto opens with a beguiling blend of crushed stones, dried flowers, apricots and a lifting hint of fresh mint. It is soothingly round and supple, with cooling acidity and ripe white pit fruits underscored by crunchy mineral tones and an herbal thrust toward the close. This cleans up beautifully, leaving a liquid floral concentration and youthful tension as a saline tinge lingers on and on. The Cocciopesto is refined for one year in amphora, six months of which are spent macerating on the skins.”
