Easter lunch, no TN, from memory. Golden color, not too deep, clear and still looks young. Dried hay, herbal and yeasty notes. A wonderful mix of freshness and lightness and deep minerality. Wonderful.

Bottle drunk for the first time in 2022. Nose of tropical fruits, notably pineapple and with a strong herbaceous side. On the palate, the juice has great maturity, with aromas of exotic fruits then a beautiful minerality and freshly cut herbs which return in the second part of the palate. Creamy texture, the acidity appears sufficient for the wine to stand the test of time even if we are not on a model of straightness given the richness that the …

100% organically farmed Bombino Bianco (more likely a local synonym for Trebbiano Abruzzese than Bombino Bianco the variety). The wine is made from approx. 5-10% of the best grapes harvested, the rest is sold off as bulk. Fermented spontaneously and aged in old oak casks. Spontaneous MLF. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and without any SO2. 12% alcohol. Tasted in a Valentini Trebbiano 2014-1999 vertical. Deep, intense and still relatively youthful yellow-green color. The nose feels slightly more restrained compared to the …

Nose on exotic fruits such as pineapple or mango. The mouth has an attack on wet stone before the juice settles serenely on aromas of exotic fruits and very marked anise. The acidity may seem low but the balance is not threatened. Saline finish where we find freshness over a good length. A very good white wine, quite atypical for those who love straight-up Chardonnays.

Quite delicious, bare and open, can pass of as a grassy Burgundy. 92

Stunning wine. It is very much it's own master. Definitely an orange wine, dried fruits, oranges, very nice acidity and balance.

Pnp. My first bottle of the 2009. Terrific juice. Gorgeous golden yellow hue with rich and elegant bouquet. Perfectly balanced palate, endowed with great focus, finesse and complexity that kept evolving with each sip and finished with lasting elegance. I expect this to age beautifully over the decade or two. A wine with soul!

Lunch @ Vineum || This is elegant, focused and textured with fresh, stylish lemon, lime and savoury citrus. Long, young and exciting!

Small tasting glass @ VINEUM during service. Tasted in Sensory glass made by Roberto Conterno (of Giacomo Conterno) in collaboration with Schott Zwiesel 1872. Oh my, this is one of the older Trebbiano's by Valentini that I have tasted. Personally have more experience with vintages >2010, but it truly does benefit from extensive bottle age. I am going to bury the 2014's and 2015's I still have. This was a great wine on the terrace this afternoon, really having the …

bright golden yellow, super precise on the nose, very Marsanne-like, plenty of honey, wax, ripe yellow apple (med intensity). Good weight on the palate, complex, almost some tannins. Very good wine and perfect with fatty fish (we had this with scallops, beautiful). Developping, is it going to get much better? Not sure but there is no urgency.

2009 vintage

dont judge this as a regular white. At less than 13 abv it is nuanced, elegant and full bodied, so savory and appetizing

2009 vintage

somewhat disappointing, nose was nice, with mildly mature notes, but very shy, didn't evolve much over 2-3 hours, the palate was very shallow and under-delivered compared to the nose, lack of acidity leaves me scratching my head on how many years this vintage can go on without rolling off the cliff. Given the price of these wines, I was not impressed at all

2009 vintage

A bit cloudy appearance. Exiting and floral aromas. Full bodied and more sweet fruit than in the 2008.

2009 vintage

Blind. A smoky/animal note that I first though was Sulphur, but it did not blow off. Modest acidity, yellow fruits, slightly tropical, but first of all musky, interesting. Developed with air. After some fumbling I did at least get the region right.

2009 vintage

Quite disappointed with this bottle: not much aroma, a hint of lemony citrus, but not much going on -- Neither richness nor succulence, but remarkably thin and wan. Not bad, just not exciting.

2009 vintage

Decided to try this, even though most advice is to allow further development. On opening, smelly--but dissipated quickly. First night, it was quite soft and floral, without much structure. Second night it had found focus and the citrusy elements came through. On the third night it was still drinking well. It will take some discipline to not drink through my modest collection, but gonna try to give the next bottle a few more years.

2009 vintage

Reduction on the nose. Oysters, sea salt. Huge on the palate, fat and quite aggressive. Quite edgy at the moment, needs time.

2009 vintage

Initially hampered by a musty cellar note of wet cloth which subsequently went away. A full-bodied wine with peach, citrus, minerality. May have been an off bottle.

2009 vintage

Gambero Rosso 2012 (Metropolitan Pavilion) : The nose of the Valentini Trebbiano was rich yet fresh with fragrant white floral notes, minerals, a hint of wood and undergrowth. On the palate, it was focused and rich with pit fruits and citrus notes filling the senses and leading to a clean and fresh finish.
