2022 Fattoria Zerbina Romagna Ceregio Bianco, Italy, Emilia-Romagna, Wine Review

This is 100%Trebbiano-Romagnolo from the center of Italy (Emilia-Romagna). Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is interesting. it opens with a "fleshy" quality and then fresh cut hay, and some pineapple. There is also a bit waft of herbs in the background. Light to medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, lemons with slight pineapple and some minerality. Good finish. A lighter wine but there is some substance to it. Nice on its own, this would be a nice wine with a room temperature pasta salad (or even cold). Drink over the next few years.

There seem to be a lot of references to this wine as coming from Colline Teatine IGT, but the bottle states Abruzzo Bianco DOC. It is a blend of 50% Trebbiano, 30% Pecorino, and 20% Cococciola. Golden in color with silver hues, clear and bright. The nose has lots of minerality, some lemon notes and a hint of floral tones. Medium to full bodied. Slightly oily texture. Crisp acidity. On the palate apples, tart apples and minerality. Deep. Long finish. This is an excellent white wine that would be double or triple the price if the label was from a more "prestigious" area.

One of my favorite white wines of Italy. This is their basic Soave and while not at the level of the vineyard designated wines, this is still very good and a very good value. It is a blend of 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches, lots of minerality, salinity, and lemon peel. Medium bodied. Crisp, but with some viscosity. Medium acidity. On the palate, its more about the minerality although there is some peach. Easy. This would work well with Indian cuisine. Drink over the next few years.

There are a lot of Vin Santos out there. Very few are very good and even less are outstanding. This is one of the better ones. Iced tea color. The nose is very nice with slight chocolate covered raisins but also a bit of blood orange and caramel. Clean and not oxidized. On the palate, this is viscous. Caramel, blood orange and raisins. Complex. It is sweet not cloying but a little goes a long way. Long finish. Worked well with a not too sweet dessert.

It was nice to revisit this after an off bottle. This one was singing. Pale gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great. it starts out simple but then opens to show lemon peel, slight lime, lots of minerality, salinity and a slight pineapple. Medium bodied with light tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this took about an hour to open. It has a bit of lemons, some pineapple and deep minerality. Long finish. This is delicious on its own but better with food. It would work well with lemon pasta. It seems like this could be interesting as it ages so if you have a few, maybe

This is made from 100% Trebbiano de Lugano in Veneto, Italy. Light straw gold in color, clear and bright. Lovely nose of honeysuckle and minerality with a bit of sea air. Light bodied. On the palate, this has a lot of sprightly energy. Minerals and slight citrus. With air, more salinity comes out. This will work well with lighter foods. It worked with fried Tofu, but sea food would be a good choice. Drink over the next couple of years.
