Score: 89Vintage 2022Vinous MediaThe 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Malandrino is nuanced and delicate, with pretty white flowers and wet stone forming its bouquet. This washes easily across the palate, mixing minerals and pit fruits over a core of juicy acidity. The 2022 tapers off salty and with medium length.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2021Vinous MediaA sweetly seductive mix of white flowers, candied lemon and cracked slate makes the 2021 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Malandrino a total pleasure on the nose. It’s soothingly round, more like nectar than wine, yet with brilliant acidity and saline-mineral tones that balance. A salty flourish and nuance of tart green apple linger incredibly long, as the 2021 finishes crisp. So pretty.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
