Valgiano
Since the 1990s, the team of Laura di Collobiano, Moreno
Petrini & winemaker/viticulturalist Saverio Petrilli have
breathed new life into this stunning 16th century Tuscan estate, Valgiano
As part of the Colline Lucchesi
DOC overlooking Lucca, Valgiano is blessed with a mix of
both limestone & sandstone soils, near perfect aspect, & a constant
stream of bristlingly-pure water which spills off Monte Barbona rising nearly a
1000 metres above them.
This near perfect terroir encouraged Valgiano to convert to organic
viticulture in 1997 & to biodynamics in 2002. Traditional
methods are used in the cellar, employing a mix of stainless-steel & french
oak, while technological interference is kept to a minimum.
The objective is to produce, in the simplest possible way, wines that are an
expression of the place in which they are cultivated.

While the 05 remains pacy with red-fruited perfume, this 2006 blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 15% Syrah is undoubtedly fuller and blacker, decadent almost with a minty, liquorice lift, while violet creams dominate the palate, such is the dense black chocolate texture and character of the ...

"Compared to the denser, cellar-worthy 2004 Tenuta, the 2005 is unequivocally more perfumed with pretty red-fruited Sangiovese high-notes, yet as ever finely structured and intricately detailed. Facilitated by fantastic terroir overlooking Lucca and brought to life through biodynamics, the ... MORE | ||||

From an excellent vintage, this densely rich, cassis perfumed full-bodied blend of Sangiovese (60%) Syrah (20%) Merlot (20%) shows a very fine weave, succulent fruit & substantial yet fine tannins to allow further develpment over the next 5 years. A 'super-tuscan' of sorts, it should ... MORE | ||||
