Farinelli Bianco NV

Stretching along Italy’s Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountain peaks, deep valleys and ancient castles. The region also offers deliciously approachable wines – the plump, creamy, plum filled Montepulciano based reds and the crisp, citrusy Trebbianos. This Trebbiano is a tingly fresh new addition to our list. It’s from the Farinelli estate, which promotes a traditional trellising system, ‘pergola abruzzese’. This ensures the grapes receive excellent exposure to the bright sunshine and so gain full ripeness. Taste for yourself with this lively white – brisk, lemony, with candied fruit and melon hints. It makes a fine apéritif and goes well with fish, chicken and creamy pasta.
