Adarmando – Tabarrini - 2010


An unusual white Umbrian wine, made from the almost extinct Trebbiano clone, Trebbiano di Spoletino.

Difficult to know what to make of this at first – bitter almonds? Too young, but improves as it warms up, making an interesting segue from peach to being very Riesling-like. I don’t find it something that I’d want more than a glass of, but I have tasted some similar Umbrian wines that age attractively; I might expect this to develop a Sémillon-esque waxiness.
84/100
