Villa Medoro’s 2011 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Chimera is richer, rounder and a bit more polished than the straight Trebbiano. A note of gunflint and crushed rocks at times recalls Meursault in this gorgeous, vibrant white. Layers of melon, white peaches and flowers meld into the seamless, voluptuous finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2014. This lineup from Villa Medoro is full of gorgeous, reasonably priced wines. The estate excels with both Trebbiano and Montepulciano, as these notes show.
