$85.36The Story
A profound and age-worthy Trebbiano d'Abruzzo showcasing remarkable texture and complexity. Aromas of orchard fruit, kumquat, honey, green apple, citrus peel, and mineral notes lead to a rich, layered palate balanced by vibrant acidity, elegance, and exceptional length.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with lobster, grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy risotto, truffle dishes, and aged Pecorino cheese.
97 Points - James Suckling
Bright straw color with lime peel, green apple and chalky mineral character and straw undertones. Bone dry on the palate, with zesty acidity, great weight and almost salty lemon flavors. A touch of almonds filigreed to the structure. Tangerine and ginger undertones. So flavorful, tangy and electric at the end. The Coche Dury of Italy. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.
95 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
This is always such an epic wine. A star of central Italy, the Valentini 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is quite young but promises even greater complexity as it continues its bottle evolution. The mouthfeel is inescapably rich and textured, with creamy sensations that wrap over the palate. The wine's tactile character is remarkable. On the nose, you get an abundance of orchard fruit, kumquat, honey and apple pie with the crust. All that beautiful flavor intensity is capped by elegant silkiness and a moderate 12.5% alcohol content.
