Farnese Farneto Valley Trebbiano D'Abruzzo 2005

Just call this everyday white the "Bombino". Refreshingly light without being too simple, this white is ideal for the summer heat and it fits anyone's budget.

Bombino Bianco is the grape used to make Trebbiano D'Abruzzo.

Often used for blending and sometimes for vermouth, Bombino Bianco can produce better quality wines on its own, when the vines are pruned back and yields are reduced. Farnese Trebbiano D'Abruzzo is unoaked and unfiltered, with fruit sourced from the Ortona district of Abruzzi*, a few miles from the sea. Tasting Notes. Color: Pale straw with a greenish tint. Aromas: Perfumed floral notes overlay the lime and peach fruit on the nose. The mouthfeel is very light, with a slight sense of sweetness on the tip of the tongue, turning tart and unsweet. Light citrusy and peachy flavors lead to a simple clean finish. Excellent value ($7).

*Abruzzi is located middle way down Italy's boot, on the Adriatic Sea, on the opposite coast from Rome. This is south of the Marches, and well south and east of Tuscany and Umbria.

I live in Georgia and am trying to find Farnese Trebbiano D'Abruzzo 2004. Any suggestions? Internet sites are charging $26 to ship one bottle.
