Valgiano, Tuscany,
Ready, but will keep,
From their limestone outcrop overlooking Lucca comes this finely-woven Sangiovese blend. Merlot and Syrah fruit provide immediate drinkability, while the Sangiovese supplies the sophistication. Reflecting the fine sand and limestone soils of this former silk merchant’s estate, the great vintage and the immense care taken to hand make and rear this elegant wine, one is treated to a compact, richly textured and beautifully transparent mouthfeel wine that will delight in its youth but stun with age!

Valgiano, Tuscany,
Ready, but will keep,
Very much a northern Tuscan, Lucchese blend of old vine, own estate 30% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot, 30% Syrah and 10% local varieties, grown on the property’s sandstone and clay soils, fermented and aged only in used barriques. It’s a full -odied, finely-woven blend of dark fruit, hay and sotto spirito kirsch black fruit, crunchy and linear. Distinctive and full of breed.

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.
