Less present than a previous bottle, was expecting more from Emidio. - at Guille’s — a month ago

A favorite. That particular style of trebbiano that Emidio Pepe also does. — 2 years ago

Pure, elegant, so much length. It's hard to imagine Montepulciano d'Abruzzo getting any better (sorry Emidio Pepe). — 9 years ago

Funky in a good way. Rich and concentrated, with partially dried black fruits and spice notes flowing into a still youthful but accessible palate, again with dark fruits dominating. Served blind, I was considering Emidio Pepe's Montepulciano... I missed their usual finesse in this bottle. — 10 years ago

Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 9 years ago

Medium ruby with an evolving edge; cigar box on the nose along with red and black fruits; palate still very intense with red and black fruit, some balsamico and a grippy, somewhat astringent finish. Drink up? At Vini Emidio Pepe. — 3 months ago

Montepuliano d'Abruzzo
Earth on the nose and mushroom in the mouth this was a real living soil experience. Paired great with carbonara. Note: Try the 'Emidio Pepe' d'Abruzzo in the future

2013 Valentini for dinner at al Covo inVenezia. What can be said other than this followed up a bottle of Emidio Pepe at I Artisti we had at lunch. Quite a day of trebs. I know you are out there thinking well why the hell are you drinking this abruzzo stuff up north. Believe me this stuff shines with the cuisine here. Be prepared for more. — 9 years ago

Also funky but less than the Emidio. More acidity than Emidio, which is nice opposite the strawberry/cherry fruit. — 10 years ago
