Episode 271: Cristiana Tiberio of Tiberio Winery makes world class wines from Abruzzo. It’s not opinion, it’s fact. Find them and drink them as soon as possible.
Description
Since 2008 Cristiana and Antonio has been leading the family farm founded by our father Riccardo in 2000. Antonio, a viticulture and oenology graduate, takes care of the agronomic aspect and Cristiana fills the role of the winemaking: she is a chemistry graduate with training stints in Champagne and Australia backed by repeated visits to the Mosel and Chablis.
Their vineyards are planted with massal selections from oldest vines and only practice sustainable cultivation methods to guarantee grapes that best express the terroir and our identity. In the cellar she tries to intervene as little as possible and we just help the wine on its natural evolution, without any forcing, relying on our experience and the particularity of the vintage.
“You can only truly make a wine with the greatest expression of the place if you have lived there and really understand the climate and sense of the place.”
