Cristiana Tiberio may well become the next superstar southern Italian winemaker with the set of incredible, dense and value-packed 2018 whites she's just released. This Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is stylistically poised perfectly between the gigantic, oaky, all-out Valentini/Emidio Pepe style and the dilute, austere, all-stainless "modern" style of Italian white winemaking. There's a bright, saline, lemony, almost Pecorino-like core to this beauty and a concentration and length of a much more expensive white wine. If you seek to learn more about Abruzzo and its best winegrowers, start with this bottle!
