Abruzzo, Italy
La Valentina owns and rents a total of 30 hectares of vineyards at 200 to 300 metres altitude in the rolling Abruzzo hills, just inland from the port of Pescara on the Adriatic coast. The area benefits from a special microclimate, taking advantage of cool breezes from the mountains and the maritime winds from the Adriatic. The results are remarkable with intense rich red wines that have oceans of fruit, bright rich black fruit flavours, as well as enough spice, elegance and depth to make wines ideal partners to many Italian dishes ... especially pastas and risottos.
