Valentini is a historic estate of 150 vineyard acres of very old vines. Francesco and Elena Paolo, now joined by their son Gabrielle, run the estate and they produce Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. Gambero Rosso almost always awards the estate’s wines the highest rating of three glasses. Wine Advocate has called Valentini “one of Italy's cult producers, known only to a handful of loyal fans.”
