2022 Cirelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo "Anfora", Abruzzo, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
Made from 100% Trebbiano dâAbruzzo grown organically on Cirelliâs estate near Atri, just a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, this wine is fermented and aged in clay amphorae without temperature control, fining, filtration, or added sulfur. The amphora aging imparts texture and allows gentle oxidation, enhancing aromatic complexity and mouthfeel.
The 2022 vintage reveals aromas of preserved lemon, dried white flowers, almond, and wet stone. A short skin maceration adds a light golden hue and a subtle tannic structure. The palate is dry and energetic, with savory depth and a clean, mineral finish.
