Tasting Notes
Nose:
On the first whiff, this wine offers fragrances of citrus fruits like lemon and lime, jasmin, green tea, ginger, subtly layered with floral undertones and a hint of minerality.
Palate:
What you’ll experience is a rush of crisp, vibrant flavors; think green apples, citrus, and a whisper of almond. The high acidity here is more of a feature than a bug, making this wine incredibly food-friendly and versatile. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a lasting finish that leaves you craving another sip.
Pairing:
This wine goes brilliantly with pasta dishes that feature a creamy sauce: carbonara, truffle risotto. But it’s also versatile enough to pair with a diverse range of seafood.
The Verdict:
Capezzana’s 2018 Trebbiano Toscano delivers on all fronts. At $35 a bottle, it might be on the pricier side for a Trebbiano, but it justifies the expense. The balance between crispness and acidity is delightful, and the nuanced flavors make it a versatile option for various culinary adventures.
In the world of white wines, where Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc often steal the spotlight, this Trebbiano Toscano from Capezzana shows why this grape variety deserves more attention.
