It is a rule in viticulture that high planting densities make better wines. 10,000 vines per hectare is not unusual in Burgundy. The Trebbiano Spoletino is over seventy years old, ungrafted and many trained up trees at a density of a mere 1,000 per hectare. But here is the densest wine, late picked for maximum flavour and wtih lovely texture and structure. Somewhat greengage and apricot flavoured, this is a wine that wants a year or two in bottle and will age longer than that very successfully.(CW 02/10/18)

Dark yellow. Almost caricatural banana and tropical fruit aromas and flavors are complicated by a very strong note of acacia. Finishes long and clean, displaying lingering tropical fruit notes and a lemony edge. This late-harvested Trebbiano Spoletino boasts considerable freshness and juiciness. 89 points
