2023 Fantini Trebbiano D’Abruzzo Magnum 1.5L DOC, Abruzzo

Fantini has built a remarkable reputation for producing wines that consistently overdeliver for quality and value. Founded in Abruzzo and now recognised as one of Italy's most successful wine groups, the winery works closely with growers across the region to showcase the character of traditional Italian varieties. Trebbiano d'Abruzzo remains one of the area's most important white grapes, producing wines that are fresh, approachable and wonderfully suited to Mediterranean cuisine.

The vineyards benefit from a unique setting between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains. Warm sunshine encourages generous fruit development, while cooling sea breezes and mountain influences help preserve freshness and balance. The 2023 vintage delivered vibrant, healthy fruit, allowing the winemaking team to craft a Trebbiano that highlights purity, brightness and easy drinking appeal.

Pale straw with green highlights, the wine opens with inviting aromas of green apple, pear and lemon blossom, accompanied by subtle hints of white peach and fresh herbs. The palate is crisp and lively, revealing flavours of citrus, orchard fruits and a touch of almond. Light to medium bodied, it offers a clean, refreshing texture with bright acidity carrying the flavours through a dry and satisfying finish.

A versatile food wine, it pairs beautifully with grilled calamari, fish and chips, seafood risotto, lemon roasted chicken, zucchini fritters or a fresh caprese salad. It is equally enjoyable as an aperitif, offering plenty of flavour without heaviness. Best enjoyed while young and fresh over the next two to three years.
