Cantina Annesanti is a super recent discovery for the wine trade — and one of the most remote. Francesco Annesanti is the sole producer in Valnerina — a pristine, forested valley in the southernmost tip of Umbria, on the river Nera — making him a trail-blazer in his own right. He took control of his family's poly-cultural farm in 2014, expanded the vineyard holdings from four to seven hectares, implemented organic and biodynamic farming principles, and stayed entirely focused on the local varieties that his grandfather planted in the 1960s. Working with a mix of stainless steel, demijohn and amphora, Francesco makes wines that authentically capture their terroir in a way that is drawing serious international attention — a remarkable feat from a vinously unknown rural corner of Italy. The highlights of the range are his extraordinary amphora bottlings of Trebbiano Spoletino — a rare and ancient Umbrian variety of incredible complexity and texture. Alongside these, Grechetto, Pecorino and Malvasia each receive careful, individual treatment: low intervention, spontaneous fermentation, no fining or clarification. The result is wines of brilliant purity, freshness and finesse.

"Masses of exotic florals combine with dried apricots, sour melon and fermented ginger as the 2022 Bianco Colle Fregiara blossoms in the glass. Texturally deep, it flows across the palate with silken waves, displaying honeyed pit fruits offset by savory spice. Raw almonds contrast with candied limes as the 2022 tapers off long and staining. A salty mineral tinge adds gobs of complexity. This is a Trebbiano Spoletino that ferments and refines the whole berries for ten months in amphora. For fans of the style, this is not to be missed. Annesanti continues to overperform." 94 points — Eric Guido, Vinous
