Azienda Agricola Valentini Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2019

95/100 - 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. - Eric Guido, Vinous

96/100 - The Valentini family have been winemakers since 1650, committed to the rustic artisanal tradition rooted in the land. They follow nature, not fashion: their Trebbiano d’Abruzzo enjoys international cult status but is released only when ready. In 2019, this eminently cellarable white produced masterfully elegant, pure results. The complex, clear bouquet leads to a memorable, profound palate, with subtle saline undertones. Substance and freshness in superb harmony: simply unforgettable. - Alessandra Piubello, Decanter
