Rabasco Cancelli Bianco 2025

True investment proposition, with 100% Trebbiano spontaneously fermented in steel tanks. The nose is initially heavily leesy and floral, with a nuanced suggestion of pear and lemon. As the wine opens up, it reveals a intricate array of notes, containing a touch of citrus. The mouthfeel is light and creamy, with a subtle tanginess. It's a drink that's both approachable and refined, much like the P'tit Chen'n. The ABV is 12%, with a total tanginess of 5.2 g/L and a residual sugar level of less than 3 g/L. A stonking bargain for the price, with a price point of 199 NOK. A wine that's sure to please, and one that's well worth the investment.

Rabasco is a wine producer in the Abruzzo region, with a history of mass production of low-cost wines. However, the current family head, Iwona Rabasco, has made a significant shift towards producing high-quality wines. She was approached by a renowned winemaker, Danirro, who has a close relationship with Edoardo Valentini and Emidio Pepe, and was invited to consult on the production of Rabasco's current wine. The result is a truly amazing wine.

This wine is a masterclass in aromatic complexity, with a soft yet unmistakable character of white pepper and Italian bitters that add strength and nuance. The full-bodied touch is beautifully consistent by a medium-high acidity, though a medley of white fruit undertones provides a lean and enjoyable quality. Overall, a truly delightful wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.
