Tenuta di Valgiano "Palistorti" Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2017
92
Our Score
(4/2020) This might just be the best vintage ever of the still underappreciated "Palistorti" from Tenuta di Valgiano. Biodynamically-farmed (certified) vines of predominantly Sangiovese with a bit of Syrah and Merlot, is really a vineyard/vine selection. The same blend of vines from the same estate, made in much the same way comprises Valgiano's flagship wine, but this wine comes in with about 1/3 the price tag. As the younger vines gain age, there is increasing density and length in this bottling, and for the first time it received the "Tre Bicchieri" top honor from the Gambero Rosso this year! Lucca has been a meeting ground for French vines and Tuscany's Sangiovese, there's nothing "modernist" in the approach. No abundance of new oak, no overripeness. The wine has radiant energy, a modest 13% alcohol, but great intensity. Expect notes of black cherry, red florals, brown spice, pepper, loam, fern. But expect the unexpected as this will drink easily for a decade from vintage.

Tenuta di Valgiano "Palistorti" Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2016
91+
Our Score
(6/2019) A stunning value for a single-estate Demeter-certified biodynamic wine, Palistorti is a selection of younger vines planted to sandier soils on the Tenuta di Valgiano property. Composed of approximately 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 10% Syrah, this classic 2016 vintage is impressively balanced, resonating with black cherry, red florals, spice, earth and mint. The complexity will develop even further over time, as this gem should continue to drink well through 2026.
