Montepulciano is a great pizza wine, and this entry- level wine from La Valentina is just the ticket. At only 13.5 and $17,I could drink it all night. Used the pizza oven in 15 degrees, but it was worth it! Lots of fruit- brambles and cherry, hint of lavender. Really satisfying. Maybe Muddy Waters ‘ can’t be satisfied’, but I can. Cheaply! — 6 hours ago

Outstanding balance. New and old world. Great fruit with baking spice, some tobacco, excellent tannin, and lingers on the palate. I hope this is what Idaho Bordeaux style continues to produce. Well done! — 3 years ago

Super tasty for a budget bottle; Straight forward (not very complex) and on the sweeter side, but I would definitely buy again. — 4 years ago

Terrific! Beautiful orangey color. Needs a decant to get rid of the frizzante. Fairly complex for a Rose! Glad I have more. — 4 years ago

Super duper crushable. This wine is the very definition of a summer wine. 100% Falanghina. The color of a sunset, this pours a slightly hazy copper salmon. On the nose it’s white flowers and stone fruit. On the palate, it’s ripened apricots, peach skin, rhubarb and bitters. Finish is lasting. Balanced. Works with simple meals. I truly hope Valentina has nothing to do with her Father’s (allegedly) shitty business practices. A truly compelling quaffer. — 4 years ago

Someone left this at my last big bbq when I asked people to just bring good booze. Opened it last night not expecting to taste such a good wine. Wow. Serendipitously fantastic! — 2 years ago

Very good value for money a great wine. Had it with lemon pasta and the pairing was a great hit. Make sure too drink it at room temperature to get the full benefit of this wine. I had it a bit too cold which closed it up a little, but have also had it at the right temperature and then it even works well on its own. Lots of berries and very well rounded wine, seldome found at this pricepoint. — 3 years ago
