Azienda Agricola Valentini
Vecchio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Abruzzi, Italy
The incredibly rare and legendary 2000 vintage and a Montepulciano that’s simply in a league of its own! It took some time in the decanter to shed an initial funk and whiff of VA which had me worried but ultimately did, and showed fabulously. There’s an alluring “wildness” to this wine that’s just so intriguing. It’s incredibly complex, layered with aromas of dried red fruit, game, exotic spice, coffee beans, violets and a menthol freshness. Time in bottle has added elegance and detail and the palate is unbelievably silky with a finish that keeps on going. Special wine.

Approfitto per rispolverare lo sconvolgente Montepulciano Valentini vendemmia 1995 - degustato due anni fa e di cui non riesco a trovare gli appunti - certo che ancora oggi sia nel suo eterno stato di grazia e armonia

Some sniffs are super funky, some are phenomenal. Like nasty swamp funk on vinyl. If it's good to you, it's good for you.
