Reviews 95 points Vinous "The 2019 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo displays a vivid yellow-golden color. The bouquet captures the imagination as dried apricots and peaches are complemented by almond custard and cardamon. It's the fruit that impresses first, ripe yellow apple and young peach, followed by depths of stony minerality and enriching hazelnut traces. The 2019 keeps the taster guessing, at first juicy and remarkably fresh, then suddenly adding tension and a salty flourish that sways the sensation to the savory spectrum. This is expertly balanced, wonderfully complex and easily one of the most exciting young Trebbianos I've ever tasted from Valentini. (EG)"

Azienda Agricola Valentini, a prominent winemaking entity located in the heart of Abruzzo, is revered for its distinct, sought-after wines. The winery boasts a rich tradition spanning several generations and maintains a reputation for their restricted distribution and closely guarded winemaking techniques, producing a line of wines that are nothing short of a vinous spectacle.
Their portfolio includes the exceptional Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, a varietal emblematic of the region and cultivated using biodynamic farming practices. It exhibits a sophisticated profile, defined by layers of complex aromas and flavors, enhanced by its remarkable aging potential. This wine is crafted using traditional vinification methods involving spontaneous fermentation in large, aged Slavonian oak barrels.
The winery's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a rich, full-bodied red venerated for its harmonious blend of red and black fruit notes laced with nuances of tobacco and mineral undertones. It benefits from a maceration period that lasts up to 25 days and an extended aging process in large wooden vats, contributing to its depth and complexity.
A truly unique offering is their Cerasuolo Rosato, an enticing synthesis of oceanic salinity and concentrated fruit, which results in a multi-dimensional texture. This rosé is a product of the Montepulciano grape, featuring a brief skin-contact period during fermentation to achieve its distinctive rose hue and robust profile.
While the Valentini estate stretches over 170 acres, a rigorous grape selection process is employed, ensuring only the top 5% of the yield is utilized for winemaking. This is a testament to the winery's commitment to quality over quantity. The winemaking legacy commenced with Edoardo Valentini, a pioneering figure who embraced avant-garde viticultural methods from 1956 to 2006. Today, the baton has passed to his son, Francesco Paolo Valentini, his wife, Elèna, and his son, Gabriele, who maintain the standard of excellence in their Abruzzese wines with unparalleled commitment.
