"The 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo wafts up with a pretty display of ripe apple, chamomile and honied florals. It's silky and textural, with a contrasting mix of citrus-tinged orchard fruits and minerals. This tapers off clean and precise with a lingering hint of sour green melon." Vinous

"This is a selection from 3ha of 30-40-year-old vines at 150-250m above sea level in Pescara. It's fermented then aged on its lees for four months in stainless steel before spending a further 12 or so months in concrete before bottling. Apple, pear, honey and white floral notes lead to a concentrated palate of green apple with a hint of salinity, some tannic astringency and a creamy finish with a streak of yellow plum. It's well balanced and fresh but needs more time to open up and fully express itself." Decanter

Old vines in excellent locations, late harvest, strict selection, exemplary work in the vineyard and cellar as well as several months in the barrique result in this powerful, long-lived Lugana.

"Spring flower, vanilla and toasted oak aromas shape the nose along with whiffs of beeswax. The aromas follow through to the creamy palate, along with yellow apple and lemon drop. Fresh acidity lifts the rich flavors." Wine Enthusiast

"Evolved but attractive bouquet. Great texture and concentration on the palate; plenty of stone fruit flavours. Long finish." Decanter

"Rich flavors of star fruit and roasted fig are set in this well-cut, medium- to full-bodied white, framed by sleek acidity. There's a subtle chalk-tinged undertow, with hints of citrus peel, dried thyme, graphite and spice playing on the lightly juicy finish." Wine Spectator

"This has a distinctly nutty nose with cooked apple and marmalade on toast. It’s full-bodied with firm texture and a very long finish. Toasted-walnut, smoked-almond and jack-fruit notes linger. Wax and lemon-curd undertones, too. Such depth and length." James Suckling

Marina Cvetics Trebbiano Riserva - dream and cult for lovers of full-bodied white wines. In bouquet and taste, aromas of nougat, almond, honey, coconut and vanilla spread out. Gently, the balsamic-like texture conquers the palate and ends in a long finish on crème caramel. SUPERIORE.DE

Bòggina Bianco is an extremely tasty and fresh Trebbiano of vines about 50 years old. It was born from Luca Sanjust's meeting with Lucien Le Moine (Mounir Souma), a great producer in Burgundy, who with his inspiration and know-how contributed significantly to the success of this extraordinary project. The vinification takes place in French oak barrels and tonneaux, which were specially made for this wine and selected by Lucien Le Moine. The wine remains "sur lies" (on the lees) for the entire maturation period of over 2 years, which gives it an incredibly fresh aroma and harmony. An extremely rare exceptional white wine, produced in a very small edition of just 1,000 bottles. SUPERIORE.DE

"Posh oak and lemon nose with notes of hazelnuts. A hint of petrol, which might indicate the very hot year. Viscous lemon and green-apple palate with citric acidity. Tight and linear palate upholstered with ripe lemon fruit. The plentiful oak is well integrated in the lemon-curd aromas on the finish. Lemony lusciousness." Jancis Robinson

"A cellar-worthy expression of Trebbiano Toscano, the 2017 Bòggina B sees extended aging on the lees to create a creamy and generous medium to full-bodied white wine. The Etruscan-named Bòggina opens to a light golden color followed by Mediterranean aromas of stone fruit, apricot and candied orange peel. That sur lie aging contributes to the honey-like fattiness or creaminess of the wine that is played up a notch higher in a hot and dry vintage such as this, which resulted in extra fruit concentration. Trebbiano, with its loose clusters, is harvested immediately before Sangiovese. There are documents that trace the existence of Trebbiano in this part of Tuscany back to the 13th century. In fact, the grape was widely popular back then, and fruit from the vineyards near the Petrolo estate fetched top dollar." Robert Parker

"The 2017 vintage of Luca Sanjust’s Bòggina Bianco one again makes the case that this is one of the best whites of Tuscany. The complex perfumes of white pepper, chalk, flint, pear tart, green apples, white chocolate and smoke are stunning. Then comes an incredibly linear texture that’s so vertical it could cut your mouth in two. Cutting, sweeping acidity makes an indent in the palate, which it expertly fills with praline, almond and nutmeg undertones. Full-bodied and very, very long on the finish with a well-judged play between oxidation and reduction." James Suckling

Over the course of three decades, Gianni Masciarelli has created one of the leading wineries in Italy. He died far too early in the summer of 2008, his love was for the landscape, the people and the grape varieties of Abruzzo. For the wines he always chose Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo.

Today the winery is successfully continued by Giannis wife, Marina Cvetic and daughter Miriam. And they vinify with "La Botte di Gianni" his vision of Trebbiano and Montepulciano.

3 bottles of 0,75l | Trebbiano d'Abruzzo "La Botte di Gianni" Riserva DOC 2010

Of a rich straw yellow colour, clean, aromatic bouquet of ripe tropical fruit. On the palate very full-bodied, but beautifully clear, long finish. Finest Riserva quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"This shows the magic of whites from Abruzzo: bright and brilliant and intense with sliced limes, apples and minerals. Its full-bodied and wonderful acidity gives this wine tension and brightness. Named after the late Gianni Masciarelli, founder of the winery, only 892 bottles were produced of these. Think grand cru Chablis." James Suckling

3 bottles of 0,75l | Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "La Botte di Gianni" Riserva DOC 2010

Deep dark ruby sparkling, aromas of blackberry, elderberry, leather and some cinnamon. Dense tannin on the palate, much depth, tightly structured, elegant enamel, long. Finest Riserva quality. SUPERIORE.DE

"With only 869 bottles produced, the 2010 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo La Botte di Gianni is dedicated to the winery's visionary founder. Gianni Masciarelli died of a sudden heart attack in 2008. This beautiful rendition speaks directly to the personality of the man. This is a strong, stubborn, energetic and complex red wine with thick layers of dark fruit, spice and cigar box. The wine shows a firm tannic background and an uncompromising style." Robert Parker
