2015 was cool and rainy in spring, warm and dry in July and August; the harvest was then postponed. The wine has its typical reductive character with a prickle of CO2 at the beginning, then focused lime notes, hints of flowers, yet the typical salty, mineral palate. It will last for decades, developing its moving complexity.

Good bright yellow. The pure, complex nose suggests lime, yellow apple and botanical herbs. Then very precise, intense and penetrating, if still youthfully unevolved, conveying a powerful, three-dimensional impression of extract and a deep, textured, multilayered mouthfeel. The wine closes very long and juicy, with herbal and saline elements that titillate the taste buds. Another outstanding wine from Valentini, who never misses a beat with his Trebbiano d’Abruzzo.

A lovely, silky white, medium-bodied and fresh, with a skein of fragrant spice unraveling through finely knit flavors of steeped apricot, chamomile, almond skin and preserved lemon, revealing a sweet hint of wild strawberry. Mouthwatering and focused through to the creamy, graphite-laced finish. Drink now through 2025. AN
