Valentini's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo holds a distinctive place among Italy's most compelling white wines. In Loreto Aprutino, in the hills of the province of Pescara, the family works with Trebbiano to achieve more than immediate aromatic appeal. Depth, freshness and structure define its character. The 2022 vintage continues this approach, offering a wine for thoughtful drinking and for a carefully selected cellar.

Trebbiano from Loreto Aprutino

The vineyards lie in the Abruzzo landscape between the Adriatic coast and the mountains. Here 100% Trebbiano becomes the expression of a highly individual style, rooted in meticulous vineyard work, selective production and a long-standing family farming tradition.

Natural fermentation and large oak casks

Grapes are picked and selected by hand. Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in large oak casks, followed by roughly a year of maturation in wood. The wine is neither fined nor filtered. This traditional approach preserves texture and personality, while the large casks support development without the pronounced oak signature of small new barrels.

Character and food pairing

Straw yellow with golden highlights, it offers a layered profile of ripe fruit, flowers, herbs and hazelnut, with an underlying mineral dimension. A substantial texture is balanced by freshness, savoury tension and a long finish. It is a strong choice with baked fish, shellfish and poultry, and equally rewarding when tasted on its own as it opens in the glass.

Valentini 2022 is a compelling bottle for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a Trebbiano d'Abruzzo that can gain complexity with age. Its appeal lies in a rare balance of origin, traditional craftsmanship and longevity.
