Crown Wine Cellars and Gelardini & Romani Wine Auction have the pleasure of inviting you to an exclusive wine pairing dinner, showcasing the best of “ Valentini ”wines and the legendary Edoardo Valentini on 20 October 2023.

.

There may have been no more cult figure in Italian wine than the late Edoardo Valentini, the mysterious producer of Italy’s greatest white, the legendary Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo.

This extraordinary wine became legendary for the intensity, complexity and aging reported by those who were lucky enough to have tasted it. And the legend was only fuelled by its extreme rarity.

From father to son Edoardo passed away in 2006 after making this incredible wine for fifty vintages. But his son Francesco, schooled from a young age in his father’s singular ways, hasn’t missed a beat, creating epic Trebbianos since his first solo vintage in 2007.

In fact, they may be even better than before. Francesco has brought greater consistency and elegance to this deep wine, without sacrificing any of its transcendent character.

Whether made by Edoardo or Francesco, production from the Trebbiano has always been microscopic, making the wine almost impossible to obtain.
