Fattoria La Valentina

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2014

Color of mix of hazy purple and burgundy. Nice nose of wet mushroom, spice like thymes, subtle cherry jam, and a bit medicinal note. Taste is dried, hickory, berry, tobacco leaves, peppery, and some zesty note. Aftertaste is peppery, and bittersweetness, medium long. Very interested tasting experience. I rate her high partly because of the interesting characters. — 8 years ago

Valais Petite Arvine 2014

Very nice Swiss wine by a Romanian wine maker. Surprisingly complex and pleasant, apparently with some oak exposure. Vanilla, Caramel, but mostly citrus flavors. Exciting new find for us! — 10 years ago

Riserva Spelt Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2013

Delectable Wine
9.4

Inky-purple. Very deep smoky nose hints at blackberry, blueberry, flint and violet. Then refined and juicy, with smooth deep flavors of mineral-accented blueberry and aromatic herbs. Long, multilayered and extremely elegant finish boasts real depth and complexity. This is a knockout, really grand, Montepulciano wine. Very, very well done.

Valentina Val di Cornia Vermentino 2014

Maybe it's the rolling hills of the northern Tuscan countryside or perhaps it's the ativan I took before popping into this bottle of Toscana Vermentino, either way it's quite enjoyable with green almond and subtle grapefruit flavors, with crisp acidity and subtle minerality. Nice FAB and complex flavors. — 10 years ago
