“Fonte Canale is one of Italy’s ten to twelve best white wines… I do not believe I have ever scored an Italian white wine 100 points yet, but frankly, it’s only a matter of time before one between Valentini and Tiberio gets there…” - Ian d'Agata

Fonte Canale is produced from 736 pre-phylloxera vines planted to pergola Abruzzese in the 1920s across 1.5 hectares at 380 metres on a clay-limestone soil with a high percentage of sand. These particular vines represent a unique biotype of the already rare Trebbiano d'Abruzzo (named Fonte Canale) that looks and acts differently due to having mutated and adapted to their position over a century. The free run juice is spontaneously fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel. It ages in tank and bottle for 18 months before release. No malo. Unfined, unfiltered.

“The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canale lifts from the glass with utter poise. It's citric and mineral-driven, displaying a cascade of wildflowers, crushed rocks, nectarines and hints of raw almond. The 2022 is elegant in style with subtle textures and depths of saline-infused orchard fruits, all offset by a spike of lemony acidity. Saturating and long, it tapers off with a flinty personality, plus a twang of gingery spice that lingers so long. The 2022 is stacked, powerful and intense, but it has an inner harmony that soothes the soul.” 96 points - Eric Guido, Vinous

“Pale yellow-green color. Layered low-pitched nose combines ripe apricot, candied ginger, crushed flint, candied lemon, balsamic oils plus saline and white flower nuances. Quite reserved today but very pure, displaying outstanding depth and richness but also wonderfully penetrating thanks to an underlying strong acid spine. Closes saturating the entire mouth with tactile minerality and repeating balsamic oils, plus a stronger than usual gingery note. A great example of this super wine...This has delivered on its early promise but will require patience to show all it has to offer.” 96 points - Ian D’Agata, Terroir Sense.

“...a nose bursting with stoney, minerally, chalky notes, cut Amalfi lemon and a white pepper tingle. A big squeeze of lemony juice that electrifies the palate. Nothing less than spectacular.” 18 points - Jancis Robinson.
