Tasting notes
The 2019 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is decidedly rich in the glass, blending crushed rocks with brioche, gingery spice and baked apples. It's soft and round with a savory core of minerals and spice, showing crisp orchard fruits and depths of salty minerals that saturate toward the close. The 2019 leaves a citrus tinge and crunchy sensation, finishing with medium length as tart Granny Smith apples lend a cheek-puckering sensation.

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.
