Description

Among the experts, the Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2020 is probably considered the most successful wine of the estate. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is the wine, but the grape is called Trebbiano Abruzzo.

 

Valentini appears to possess an older biotype of Trebbiano Abruzzese, one that is even more disease-prone and less productive than normal and is the product of ongoing mass selection. This is just one of the many secrets of Valentini’s high-quality version.

 

Widely considered Abruzzo’s greatest winemaker, Edoardo Valentini produced wine from the 1956 vintage until his death in 2006 at the age of 72. During this half century his fame among lovers of great Italian wines has grown until he became an icon.

 

His unique approach to managing the vines, combined with his eccentric personality, fueled his legend, but it was the excellence in the bottle that truly cemented his reputation as one of Italy’s great artisans of natural wines. Giving up his career as a lawyer, Valentini returned with his family to their home in Loreto Aprutino, about half an hour inland from Pescara.

 

He has cultivated approximately 60 hectares of vineyard land distributed across several vineyard sites and hundreds of acres planted with fruit trees and olive trees. Valentini has become famous for his aversion to the media and disdain for wine marketing.

 

As a result, what little information we can glean about the man and his wines only serves to enhance the mystique surrounding both. Since the death of Edoardo Valentini, his son Francesco Paolo, assisted by his wife Elèna, and his son Gabriele, has faithfully and rigorously continued the production of the family’s much admired line of Abruzzo wines.

 

It is evident upon tasting that the Valentini legacy remains strong and will be well looked after.
