Tenuta di Valgiano
Pallistorti di Valgiano
100% biodynamic
Excellent concentration, which is already visible in its deep ruby colour with crimson reflections, an indication of youth. The intense bouquet is reminiscent of spices and ripe fruit. Rich and full bodied on the palate with intense fruity aromas which give the wine its excellent enduring characteristics. The fresh structure is supported by the good content of mature, balanced tannins. A very pleasant wine that gives immediate pleasure and can improve over the next seven years.

Nose
The wine explodes out of the glass with fruit flavors of dried cranberry, raspberry, plum, black cherry, and blackberry. The complexity only increases with air displaying secondary notes of dried bay leaf, thyme, oregano, tobacco, leather, black pepper, clove and cocoa dust.
Palate
The finish seemingly lasts forever with a mingling of fruit, spice, and the introduction of rocky gravel, wild mushroom and black truffle. The wine is full-bodied and focused with soft tannins and perfect balance.
