Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

Azienda Agricola Valentini Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2007 Upon release, Valentini’s 2007 Trebbiano was hailed as a triumph in this warm vintage, and with 15 years of maturity, it’s a marvel. The nose... offers lots of stone and orchard fruits mingling with crushed herbs, wet river rocks, fresh earth, and white flower petals, but these typical white wine notes are complicated by coffee grounds, cidery oxidation, and a touch of barnyard funk. This Trebbiano is bold, majestic, and fascinating, and it builds to a crescendo with terrific lemony acidity and driving minerality that lingers on its long finish. Superb and drinking gorgeously now, but aerate well to blow off any hint of reduction!
