Tasting Notes: The Ciavolich Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fosso Cancelli awakens the senses with a saline backed minerality and orchard and stone fruits on the palate. From the oldest vines on the estate, the wine is aged in oak and terracotta amphorae before bottling.
Estate History: In the early 2000's, Chiara Ciavolich was compelled to better understand the wines of her ancestors who migrated to the area in the 1500's - she even has an incredible cellar dating back to that time with a storied local history of being occupied by the SS during the Second World War. Of this desire, the crown jewels of her farm were born - the rare and singular "Fosso Cancelli" wines. The Fosso Cancelli bottles are made from the finest plots (generally old vines), crushed in a wooden basket press, fermented with native yeasts in old oak and/or amphora without temperature control and bottled entirely by hand.
