Really complicated on these so suspect days, expose themselves with concepts such as: tradition, terroir, identity without falling into the most sinister rhetoric if not sounds just trite and hypocritical as the counterfeit currency with which even large-scale industries - supported by marketing - pays back its inattentive mass audience riding the wave of the country of origin or protected typicality. A diabolical mechanism this one for which even the most noble ideas probably the right practices and good experiences completed in the scale of centuries to human measure and not on massive industrial scale, are trivialized by sleazy slogan, emptied of meaning to be more or less surreptitious thanks to barbaric persuasion techniques and brain-washing propaganda.
Yet with the Valentini's Trebbiano you may not groped to summarize in words if not by drawing on terms so appropriate to express it. Now concerning this iconic label we've got behind it a local grape variety, a real family and a great wine that collect in a bottle the past and present story of a side of Abruzzo who claims to defeats victories and sacrifices to dominate the abuses (on and of) nature, miseries and splendours of agricultural seasons. Places, people, vision, wines such as Valentini are here to remind us how each bottle stay so proudly standing as non-reproducible beauty and fermented goodness expressing all its artisanal uniqueness and authenticity which are just that suspect to industrial wine production in manufacturing chains on standardized quantities; wines that are all equal to themselves even though wine itself is not much left at the end of the day/cycle. Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Valentini 1998 is what we have to rate right now: rusticity with class; style, purity and glory of a local grape recognized by many admirers from all over the world: act local think global this is another slogan-cliché which in this specific Valentini's wine exemple could sounds a little less false and more effective. — 10 years ago

Excellent value this entry level Edmeades Zin. Nose has tangy cherry and blackberry, pine forest underbrush, and rocky minerals. Mouthfilling and flavorsome, but with much more of a savory and minerally profile than a typical Zin. Still, the rich fruit is there. Dry, a bit of tannin present too, with good acids. Says 15% but drinks like and old pre global warming 14%er. — 9 years ago

What is it about these French reds? You can pick them out from a global mix: clear and a little dry. I'm sure if I knew the regions better, I could match them - they each seem to have a signature. — 10 years ago

Picked up this tasty wine at Walmart of all places. Inexpensive, light bodied and not too sweet. Paired with a piece of Ghirardelli's Twilight Delight Intense Dark Chocolate (72% cacao) and the tastebuds are in heaven — 12 years ago

Gooseberries/grapefruit, subtle herbs in the range of tarragon, fine long acids, and very clean. Distinctive of pretty much every SB from NZ. If I ever get back into school, I'm writing a thesis on global consumerism of $20 NZ SBs.🤔 not much jump with age. I feel a slight of saline minerality in this versus a bitter fruity personality. A beautiful wine. — 8 years ago
