Valentini Trebbiano di Abruzzo 2020

“Bright straw colour 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 flavours. A touch of almonds filigreed to the structure. Tangerine and ginger undertones. So flavourful, tangy and electric at the end. The Coche Dury of Italy. 97 points, Drinkable now, but best from 2028…” James Suckling.


"More savory than sweet, the 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo slowly opens with a rich blend of raw almonds and smoky crushed stone, giving way to dried nectarines and hints of sage. This seductress is ripe and succulent upon entry, yet with a salty, sultry core of minerality, blending sour lime with apricots and liquid stone. The 2020 ends with a lemony concentration and herbal thrust, tapering off saline and lightly structured yet incredibly fresh. The 2020 is simply spellbinding.
