Harvest:

The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, undergo a meticulous sorting process on a primary selection belt. After destemming, they undergo a second sorting on another belt before being conveyed into wooden vats for fermentation.

Vinification:

The grapes are manually plunged by foot, allowing for a gentle and thorough maceration process lasting 10 to 15 days to extract aromas and quality tannins. Following racking, the wine briefly settles before gravity-fed transfer into lightly toasted French barriques (no new oak), where malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. Racking is timed with natural rhythms, using compressed air instead of pumps. After 12 months, the wine is blended in cement vats for an additional 6 months before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

It presents a bright and intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherry, dark berries, shady undergrowth notes, hints of licorice root, and spices. The palate is smooth and harmonious, with ripe fruit, fine tannic texture, and a fresh, savory finish of good persistence.

About the Producer

Tenuta di Valgiano

Colline Lucchesi – Toscana

Tenuta di Valgiano is a pioneering biodynamic estate located in the hills of the Colline Lucchesi, founded in the early 1990s and guided by a deep commitment to artisanal viticulture. Surrounded by forests and olive groves, the vineyards thrive on limestone-rich marl and sandstone soils, benefiting from sea breezes and strong day–night temperature shifts. Under the direction of Moreno Petrini, Laura Di Collobiano and winemaker Saverio Petrilli, the winery follows a minimalist philosophy rooted in biodynamic practices, spontaneous fermentations and careful ageing in oak and concrete. The wines express a pure and authentic vision of Tuscany — elegant, vibrant and distinct from the classic styles of Montalcino, Chianti or Bolgheri.
