2016 Azienda Agricola Valentini Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo
5/10/2020 - breadandwine Likes this wine: 94 Points
Pale salmon pink. Med aromatic, aromas of yeast, rosehip, red cherries, citrus, smoked herbs and iron. Dry, high but balanced acidity with a med body. Med+ alc with med+ flav int. Flavours of blood orange, red stone fruit, herbs and iron. No real oak noticeable. Long, minerally and smoked finish. A more restrained version of Valentini's Cerasuolo, less intense than other vintages. Top.
EDIT. After two days, both the nose and flavours open up more, and the wine becomes a whole lot more complex with some funky, earth and yeasty with more citrus aroma’s, not unlike a Pupillin Ploussard.

Blend of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto & Barbera from Barbaresco. Ruby. Med aromatic. Earthy & smoky nose with some violet, underbrush, red & sour cherry and minerals. Dry, high and energetic acidity, med bodied, med alc and ripe, mellow tannins. Juicy on the palate with lots of red stone fruits. Med+ length. On the earthy and natural side for a Langhe Rosso, even if it wasn’t bottled like that. Well made. A nice surprise, hard to find these style of wines in Barolo or Barbaresco.
