Bright rich ruby red. Open-hearted, ripe cherry nose, ripe plums, earthy with truffle and sealing wax, slightly resinous, very individual and mysterious. On the palate juicy and with tightest tannin, stretches pithy-earthy over the tongue, lively, very salty and with emphasis on the finish.
The 2016 Tenuta di Valgiano packs a serious punch. A heady, flamboyant wine, the 2016 possesses tremendous breadth as well as a real sense of authority. Dark berry fruit, herbs, sage, tobacco, licorice and scorched earth are some of the elements that run through the 2016. Although the 2016 offers tons of intrigue in its exotic, powerful personality, its qualities will be even more expressive in another few years’ time.
