An exotic and slightly tropical display of ripe green melon, kiwi, sugar-dusted white strawberries and vanilla bean lifts up from the 2019 Bianco Adarmando. This is deeply seductive and pleasantly sweet, offering silken textures, ripe orchard fruits and honeyed inner florals. A teeth-chattering mix of salty minerals and brisk acids creates a riveting tension through the finale as this tapers off incredibly fresh under an air of custard and hints of raw almond. The Adarmando is a large-scale yet completely harmonious interpretation of late-harvest Trebbiano Spoletino. Also of note is that this was tasted alongside the timeless 2010, which demonstrates just how well this wine can mature in a cold cellar.
