Tenuta Di Valgiano - Colline Lucchesi Rosso - 2021‎ - This wine showcases a ruby red color and an inviting aroma of red and black fruit, accompanied by herbaceous and mineral notes. On the palate, it's full-bodied and juicy, with a silky tannic structure and balanced fruit-acidity interplay. With finesse, spiciness, and aging potential, it's recommended to decant and allow it to breathe for an hour or two before enjoying.

Harvest:

Grapes, hand-picked in small boxes, undergo a meticulous sorting process. Initially sorted on a first selection belt, they are then destemmed and subjected to a second round of sorting on another selection belt. Subsequently, they are carefully delivered into wooden vats for fermentation.

Vinification:

The grapes, manually plunged by foot, undergo maceration for 10 to 15 days to ensure a gentle yet thorough extraction of aromas and high-quality tannins. Following racking, the wine briefly settles before gravity-feeding into lightly toasted French barriques (5% new), where it completes malolactic fermentation. After 12 months in barrels, it is transferred to cement vats for an additional 6 months of maturation before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Shimmering ruby with a slight garnet rim. On the nose, it opens with decidedly mature notes of dried plums, plenty of blackberries, and a hint of blackcurrant. On the palate, the tannin is finely woven, developing in multiple layers, alongside a sweet, well-integrated fusion that is long and smooth.

Serving Temperature:

16 – 18 °C
