Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot are blended to form a rich and supple red, with black cherry, chocolate, cinnamon and blackberry nuances. The mouthfeel is characterized by richness, softness and a touch of bright crispness.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Tenuta di Valgiano is very, very young. Today, the wine comes across as extremely primary, with little in the way of aromatic complexity or nuance. The integration of fruit, tannin and acidity is gorgeous, which makes me hopeful for the future. This will be an interesting wine to revisit in another year or so. Dark raspberries, spices and licorice wrap around the fleshy, mid-weight finish. The 2009 Tenuta is 65% Sangiovese, 25% Syrah and 10% Merlot, aged in French oak, with just 5% new barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

Tenuta di Valgiano

Tenuta di Valgiano is the gateway to a different Tuscany. The manicured estates of Montalcino seem a world away; here in the hills above the city of Lucca, dense forests hide weather-worn villas and older-vine vineyards, with climbing herbs winding round “palistorti,” crooked stakes that mark each vine row. There is something wilder and more alive in these verdant hills, and the grapes grown here share this energy, this vitality. Tenuta di Valgiano makes true “terroir” wines – wines that once you taste them, inspire a feeling that you are being spoken to in a new language that is undeniably exciting. Biodynamics is the core of this new tongue, a rhythm to which everything moves at the estate: the vineyards and olive trees, the bees and chickens. Moreno Petrini and Laura di Collobiano would have it no other way—for them, the soul of Valgiano must be present in each bottle. And that soul is comprised of everything—and everyone—that calls Valgiano home. The humus-rich soils, carefully kept in balance through biodynamic cultivation. The Tuscan sun that is so generous with its rays. The wild herbs and pine trees that perfume each valley and hilltop. The smiles of friends and family who with their laughter and support, have made Valgiano the vinous oasis it has become.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
