- A wine that speaks for itself. It's pretty obvious why we have included the La Valentina wines in our Valentine's Day selection. A pure yet lively aroma, with mineral and lime leaf notes, leads to an immediately charming palate that is both delicate and persistent, with a great balance between body, freshness, and erotic fruit flavors. This Pecorino from Sabatino has a charming palate that is both delicate and persistent, with a great balance between body, freshness, and exotic fruit flavors.
Sabatino di Properzio’s Montepulciano is as stylish as his labels. While this may sound like a contradiction in terms for a grape more often associated with rough-and-ready country wine, Sabatino has set out to prove otherwise, using low yields, old vines and increasingly organic viticulture to wring new depths from the DOC. The ‘basic’ Montepulciano, if it can be called that, sees little oak, and is an intense, civilized representation of the grape’s myriad fruit and spice flavours. Spelt is a selection of top fruit from fifteen hectares of vineyards, given a longer maceration and eighteen months in oak, making for a more complex, structured wine, for drinking a little bit older. Bellovedere, meanwhile, is a single two-hectare vineyard that gives low yields of sumptuously concentrated fruit, and regularly demonstrates the brilliance to which Montepulciano can aspire.
