Edoardo Valentini was known locally as the “Lord of the Vines.” This resolute old-timer, when he was alive, always disregarded all modern conventions and wrapped his operations in a shroud of mystery, fervently guarding his production techniques from outsiders. Valentini’s wines always display a startlingly natural character, their individual quirks only enhancing their profound charm. It's for good reason that along with Emilio Pepe, his wines are some of the most revered and sought after wines in the world.
