Tenuta di Valgiano
Palistorti di Valgiano Colline Lucchesi Sangiovese Blend
An "a-ha" wine moment from maybe 12 years ago that I have not seen on a shelf in maybe 8 years.
The moment was the brilliance of learning how acidity in wine acts as a preservative and enhancer of a wine (consumed over 3 days).
Sangiovese (70%) and usually a split of Merlot & Syrah from biodynamically farmed vines in northwestern Tuscany (Lucca). An odd combination that works so well in this instance. Nothing over complicated here in a great way, fresh red sappy cherry fruit, a touch of savory on a medium body frame with some firm and dry tannin. Not to mention that crackling and racy acidity!
