Antonio Vallana e Figlio

The domaine of Antonio Vallana & Figilo dates back to the early 19th century and is located in the town of Maggiora, about 100 miles northeast of Barolo. Antonio Vallana produced legendary wines in the 50s and 60s before the domaine's fortunes slipped in the mid 70s. The wine is now back on form with Antonio's son Francis now playing a major role.

While the domaine has always produced a wide range of wine, its reputation is largely owed to it wines produced from Spanna, the local synomon for Nebbiolo. The steep slopes of the domaine's vineyards mean that all the grapes are hand-harvested. The wines are traditionally matured in large old oak barrels and are characterised by their depth of fruit as well as their exceptional balance.

2017 Piemonte Barbera, Antonio Vallana e Figlio, Piedmont

Antonio Vallana e Figlio, Drink now,

The winery of Antonio Vallana & Figlio dates back to the early 19th century and is located in the town of Maggiora, about 100 miles northeast of Barolo at the foot of the Alps. Antonio Vallana produced legendary wines in the 1950s and ’60s before the winery’s fortunes slipped in the mid-1970s. The winery is having a resurgence, and the quality has never been better with Antonio’s son Francis now playing a major role.

This bright ruby Barbera hails from the northern tip of Piedmont, with strawberry, cherry and black pepper on the nose. Lip-puckering and fruity, it is laden with red berry fruits and ripe plums on the palate, as well as delicate spice, mirroring the nose. Thanks to the cooler climate, the tannins are lighter and silkier than those in the Langhe and the acidity immensely refreshing. Drink now to 2020.

2018 Nebbiolo, Rosato, Antonio Vallana e Figlio, Piedmont, Italy

Antonio Vallana e Figlio, Drink now,

A new addition to the Vallana range, this rosé is rooted in Francis and Marina’s childhood, when they used to steal Nebbiolo grapes from the tanks just after harvest. During these very first hours of fermentation, Nebbiolo expresses the most incredible floral and sweet-fruit characters – as captured by this wine. Aromas of wild strawberry and white flowers lead to a palate laden with forest fruit, with a hint of tangerine and a beautifully fresh, dry finish. Try with cold charcuterie or seared tuna. Drink now to 2020.
