The wines from Francesco Cirelli's La Collina series come from organic contract farming of surrounding farms. Although the namesake Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is on the label, most of the wines under this label of origin are pressed from Trebbiano Toscano. The grapes are destemmed, followed by a 24-hour maceration in tanks. Then the must is gently pressed and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel. After four months on the lees, bottling takes place after a small addition of sulphur.
Color
Strong straw yellow, bright and clear.
Nose
The 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo by Francesco Cirelli offers a contemporary view of the Abruzzo appellation. With ripe yellow fruit, it is reminiscent of apricot pits and peach peel and is delicately citrusy with orange zest. Herbaceous and balanced by notes of laurel, sage and light tobacco, it promises authentic drinking pleasure with a clear character of origin.
Mouth
On the nose, the Trebbiano is juicy with fine phenolic like tart contouring guardrails. The wine is clearly low in sulphur and shines on the palate with agile vitality. The acidity acts moderately in the background and is fuelled by the animating bitter notes that also characterise it haptically on the palate. Transparent and clear with a delicately saline finish thanks to the open chalky soils.
