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.

2007 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Palistorti, Colline Lucchesi Bianco Valgiano, Tuscany Italy » Tuscany » Colline Lucchesi	Bottle (75cl)	£ 11.26 $ 18.34	No more stock available
			12 x £ 10.13	0 in basket
		Special case price £ 121.57 Buy 12 and save £ 13.57 (10%)
	Medium Bodied, Dry, White, Other Varieties, Ready, but will keep, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13% alc. Replacing the 'Giallo dei Muri', this new biodynamic wine retains Vermentino (60%) at its heart yet displays a more perfumed, bright floral character, matched by a fresh, energetic citrus and orange fruit compote and grounded by a notable minerality that comes from their new sandstone-based vineyard; aided of course by a propitious vintage. Delicious now and over the next couple of years, on its own or with all manner of starters. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer) MORE

2006 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Palistorti, Colline Lucchesi Rosso, Valgiano, Tuscany Italy » Tuscany » Colline Lucchesi	Bottle (75cl)	£ 16.35 $ 26.62	No more stock available
			12 x £ 14.74	0 in basket
		Special case price £ 176.87 Buy 12 and save £ 19.30 (9.5%)
	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Sangiovese, Ready, but will improve, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13.5% alc. 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 palate; a wine that was vinified in 60% oak and 40% cement. Best tucked away for several years before serving with a shoulder of lamb. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer) MORE

2004 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Tenuta di Valgiano Colline Lucchesi Rosso DOC, Tuscany Italy » Tuscany » Colline Lucchesi	Bottle (75cl)	£ 33.13 $ 53.96	No more stock available
			12 x £ 29.83	0 in basket
		Special case price £ 357.91 Buy 12 and save £ 39.65 (9.5%)
	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Sangiovese, Ready, but will improve, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13.5% alc. 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 complement a shoulder of lamb well but needs two hours' decanting beforehand. MORE

2005 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Tenuta di Valgiano, Colline Lucchesi Rosso Italy » Tuscany » Colline Lucchesi	Bottle (75cl)	£ 33.61 $ 54.74	No more stock available
			12 x £ 30.22	0 in basket
		Special case price £ 362.61 Buy 12 and save £ 40.70 (10%)
	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Sangiovese, Ready, but will improve, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13.5% alc. "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 unorthodox blend of Franco-Italian grapes (60% Sangiovese 20% Syrah 20% Merlot) dates back to the early 19^th century, to a time when Napoléon Bonaparte's sister Elisa governed this French protectorate; something not lost on the team at Valgiano. Delicious with chicken paella." (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer) MORE
