WINE DESCRIPTION
Cirelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 'Anfora' is a skin contract, orange wine that hails from the east coast of Italy from the region of Abruzzo. The grapes are macerated on skins in a tank for a short period, the skins are then separated, softly pressed and fermented in clay
amphoras. Following the fermentation, the wine matures in amphoras for a period of around three years, before spending a further six months into the bottle before its release. The resulting wine is richly textured with a gentle tannic grip and savory notes of citrus peel and dried herbs.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cirelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 'Anfora' shimmers in the glass with an amber hue.On the nose, this Trebbiano offers enticing aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by delicate floral notes. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, with a well-balanced acidity and a delicate tannic grip that enhances the wine's overall structure. Flavors of red apple, dried apricots, and zesty pink grapefruit zest dominate the palate. The finish is relatively persistent, leaving a pleasant subtle bitterness that brings balance to the wine.
