Marramiero Trebbiano D'Abruzzo Altare 2012

Rich gold with greenish reflections and a white rim, a powerful and fairly oaky bouquet with vanilla and butterscotch overshadowing fruit but incredibly integrated. On the palate it's ample and rather languid, with bitter savoury minerality that flows into a clean mineral finish with some savoury bitterness and hints of vanilla from the wood. It's quite elegant and the oak will fold in nicely with time.
