Azienda Agricola Valentini
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
Abruzzi, Italy
Finesse, delicacy, complexity and focus
Quince, cedar and thyme tea
White pepper, almond spread and white choc
A field of flowers(mainly yellow)
Lemon curds, dill, breadcrumbs and more and more
Seaweed and strongly marine
Whispered rather than shouted class
Every swirl is a discovery, a subtle win of aromas
Toffees and cappuccino coming out of the glass with the rising temperature
It goes without saying the fun
So long aftertaste
12% in alcohol
This is the gotha of the Italian white wines
Still decades ahead i am sure
It could easily rank a Grand Cru status
Grab it if you can..and then age it

A bit flat. Some pear and tropical fruit but died the longer it was exposed to air. Maybe an off bottle based on others reviews.

#valentini #trebbianodabruzzo - un'annata meno felice per quanto mi riguarda, ma pur sempre un grande vino

Gobs of nutmeg and mocha and herbal goodness. This is probably the best bottle of Valentini white I've had. Remarkably unique.

Nose is sort of pear cider. Some smoke.
Palate is a bit oxidized. Some skin contact.
Not sure I get this.
Ok this has opened up. Turpentine on the nose. Bad pear cider. Truly awful. An emperors new clothes wine.

Great, relatively low key, but lots of life for a 2009

Jul 13th, 2015Piercing wine with bursting fruity undertones and wobderful acidity. Still young so it's hard to make any conclusion now.
