I tasted bottle number 67 of 800 made of this very special wine. The 2016 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo La Botte di Gianni offers an elegant and true expression of the Trebbiano grape. This is a workhorse variety that shows its delicate and graceful side in the deft hands of the Masciarelli wine team. The purity of the grape, with its honey and saffron-like aromas of stone fruit and white rose, is enhanced by some of the spice and smoke of the special "botte" used to age this wine dedicated to its late creator. Enjoy it with a grilled filet of grouper or dorado (mahi mahi).
