Azienda Agricola Valentini Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2018

Doesn’t give much at first aromatically. In fact what it does give is quite stinky, savoury. But suddenly, as though it’s struggling to find its way out of a cage, you find the purest of cherries, minerals, green veg. This is pristine on the palate. Elegant but concentrated. Fine, hushed, but grounding tannins. Very lucky to try this. I understand why people seek it out. Very distinctive. But it’s nothing relative to Valentini’s white.
