Contrada Contro 2022 Marche IGT Bianco
$139.00
“From a 1976 vineyard at 530m with more sand, silt and clay than limestone. Predominantly Trebbiano. Directly pressed and settled before fermentation and ageing in 500L oak. No battonage, racked once after 12 months then bottled after 1 month in tank. Unfined, unfiltered.
This was the most hair raising wine I've tried in a long time. Rich ripe orchard fruit tinged with hazelnut and cashew nuttiness. Sea spray and just the slightest tinge of EA. Trebbiano by way of the Jura perhaps. The palate is immediate in its umami and salted green fruit quality over the top of its rich oily texture which slowly waltzes into a long and expansive finish which you can savour for minutes after drinking. I highly highly recommend this.”
