(11/2016) "The 2013 Tenuta di Valgiano is gorgeous, although it will need time in bottle to be at its most expressive. Dark raspberry, pomegranate, spice, mint and blood orange give the 2013 much of its exotic personality. The 2013 is a distinctly mid-weight Tenuta with bright acidity and considerable overall tension. I can't wait to see how the 2013 develops in bottle, as it has quite a bit of energy lying in reserve. Drink 2018 - 2033."

Tenuta di Valgiano "Palistorti" Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2016

Our Score
(3/2019) The second (and only other red) from Tenuta di Valgiano in Lucca is a stunning value for a single-estate Demeter certified Biodynamic wine. Palistorti is a vineyard selection of younger vines planted to sandier soils on the property and is composed roughly of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, 10% Syrah. If you fear brutish power and lavishings of new oak that were once synonymous with the "Super Tuscan" segment, fear not. This is a classical vintage of Valgiano which is impressively balanced, resonating with black cherry, red florals, spice, earth and mint. This complexity will only gain, as this wine should continue to drink well through 2026.

(2/2018) After a challenging and very wet 2014, where Tenuta di Valgiano did not even produce this wine, "Palistorti" is back with the excellent 2015 vintage and it is delicious! Produced in the hills of Lucca in northern Tuscany, this gorgeous Super Tuscan is a blend of roughly 70% Sangiovese along with Merlot and Syrah from certified biodynamic vineyards. The 2015 vintage turned out a fruit forward expression filled with life, energy and character that makes it easy to drink on its own. The tannins are refined and integrated while the oak flavors quietly hang out behind the scenes. The lively, mouthwatering acidity gives the wine its exquisite balance that leads to a long, pleasurable finish. In a sea of Super Tuscan red blends, Valgiano di Palistorti stands out on its own!

(3/2018) Here's a great, and literally quite large closeout opportunity on magnums of this tasty and unpretentious Tuscan-type treat.

This is the project of Alberto Antonini, considered one of the five greatest winemaking consultants in the world! Vibrant red fruit and florals highlight this fresh easy-drinker that will aid every bowl of pasta and plate of pizza.
