Marina Cvetic Trebbiano Riserva 2019 75cl

The Marina Cvetić 2019 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Riserva shows a luminous, honey-like color with rich aromas of poached pear and Golden Delicious apple. Those orchard fruit aromas are especially typical of Trebbiano, but of course this more sophisticated wine benefits from oak spice and barrel aging to offer more complexity and greater fruit weight. Indeed, this is a medium-weight white wine with the structure and staying power to pair with spicy foods or even a more robust white meat dish.

A mosaic of grapey fruit, gooseberries, green cardamom and river stones on the nose, following through to a medium-bodied palate with plenty of fruit, herb and mineral aromas to keep the interest up through the long finish. More restrained on the palate than usual this year, but very good. Drink now.
