2000 | Valentini | Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The color and structure of this vintage was similar to the 2001, while the aroma opened on a more feral note, more musky fur and less coffee liqueur, without ever becoming too rustic. What stood out was the amazing sweetness of the fruit at the center of the mouth. The finish was rotund in pure Valentini style.

Producer Information

Valentini is a historic estate in Abruzzo, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest producers in all of Italy. The wine portfolio consists of just three wines – a white Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, a red Montepulciano, and a Cerasuolo rosé, all of which are made in small quantities and are highly collectable.The Valentini family, originally hailing from Spain, has been in Abruzzo for centuries, but had little to do with winemaking until 1950, when Eduardo Valentini took a more active role in the business and became known in the region as "The Lord of the Vines". He produced the flagship Trebbiano d'Abruzzo for fifty vintages before passing away in 2006.Valentini's son Francesco took over in 2007 and continued the estate's traditionalist approach to both winemaking and marketing.
