"The 2021 Palistorti di Valgiano is a very beautiful, complex wine, especially at this level. Sweet pipe tobacco, rose petal, mocha, licorice and earthy notes lend considerable aromatic presence. Silky tannins wrap it all together, while bright acids lift the finish. This is one of the best editions of Valgiano's second wine I can remember tasting. " - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. The estates 40 acres of vineyards are certified organic (icea) and certified biodynamic (Demeter), surrounded by olive trees and nearly 200 acres of forestland. (The farm produces organic olive oil and organic honey, too.). "Palistorti are crooked posts, found at the end of each row of vines in the Valigano vineyards, a marker and a metaphor of nature doing what she does best marching to the beat of her own drum. What you get in this lovely red blend is nature writ large, bold and flavorful: a delicious mix of cherries and raspberries, tea and earth, mint and rosemary. Its a lungful of summer air above a sun-drenched Tuscan valley, an all-night party under a full moon."-NORTH Berkeley Imports.
