Tenuta di Valgiano Colline Lucchesi Rosso 2018

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 93 Points

(8/2023) The 2018 Tenuta di Valgiano is a big, potent wine. A burst of dark wild cherry opens rst, followed by complicating notes of tobacco, smoke, leather, incense and earthiness. The 2018 is a bit wild and rough around the edges, but it certainly has a ton of character. I would drink it at the dinner table, preferably with a similarly hearty fare. Drinking window: 2025 - 2036.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(8/8/2023) Dusty and earthy nose with a muddled complexity that centers about earth funk, peppercorn, old leather and bark. Some dark cherries, too. Even and medium-bodied on the palate with a nice, traditional touch to the fluid, mid-palate. Tannins are refined and caressing. Already very approachable.
