No, this is not jug wine Trebbiano. One glance and one sip confirms that. And then you start to wonder whether this may be Italy's answer to the greatest Corton-Charlemagne. Roasted hazelnuts, wildflowers, savory minerals and honeyed richness all burst from the glass of one of the planet's greatest white wines. It is expensive...but at $175, it can stand with $300 to $500 bottles from anywhere! And- as you might expect- the winegrowing regimen at Valentini has never, ever changed.
