Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo

Wow this showed all the hallmarks of the Montepulciano grape in a regal, slick and balanced frame. Impressive.

Wow! Just wow. Hard to explain but must be tried at least once. It’s a wild wine

A bit past.

An interesting one to start with for my first bottle of Valentini... I need to try the wine when it's young.

For the kids. Wow. Showing so w. Strawberry and acidity.

Cherry happy

Rome: Rosciololi. I am glad to say this bottle was great, but (most happily) no more so than the ones at home. The bombollotti alla amatriciana, however was much better.

Valentini’s wines are sui generis. But what a fabulous wine. Deep, earthy fruit with edge and funk, clarity and balance. Actually went very well with an Asian-spiced roast chicken.

Savory rose. Could benefit from more age.
