From the biodynamic estate of Tenuta di Valgiano, this young-vine blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah shows the house philosophy in red form: practical viticulture, minimal intervention, and let-the-terroir-speak winemaking. Foot-pressed, lightly macerated, and aged in mostly neutral oak, Palistorti Rosso retains suppleness and generosity—no oak shows, just refined fruit and fine tannins.

"The 2022 Palistorti di Valgiano is soft, open-knit and fruity, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Crushed flowers, sweet red/purplish and sweet spice are nicely pushed forward. Delicate and understated, the 2022 is a delight. The finish is just a touch slender, otherwise this is very nicely done." —Antonio Galloni

More about Tenuta di Valgiano Palistorti di Valgiano

Lucca isn't the first place most people look for great Tuscan wine, and that's exactly why Tenuta di Valgiano is such a pleasure to discover. In the hills above the walled city, in the little-known Colline Lucchesi appellation of northwestern Tuscany, this estate has become one of Italy's most respected biodynamic farms. Palistorti is its everyday line, the easiest way into the house style.

Laura di Collobiano and Moreno Petrini have run Valgiano since 1992, working with viticulturist and winemaker Saverio Petrilli. They converted to organic farming in the 1990s and to biodynamics in 2002, and they are Demeter certified. The vineyards face south on chalky, clay-rich alberese marl and sandstone washed down from the hills behind the estate. Nearly 200 acres of woodland surround the vines, and the estate also produces olive oil and honey. Valgiano thinks of itself as a whole farm rather than just a winery.

In the cellar, things stay simple. The reds are hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented with native yeasts in small open-top wooden vats and foot-trodden, then aged in older French oak and cement. The Palistorti Rosso is led by Sangiovese, with Merlot, Syrah and a little Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. The Bianco blends Vermentino, Trebbiano, Malvasia and Grechetto. Both are fresh, savory, food-friendly Tuscan wines that show their place without any bombast.
