The Wines
Toscana Bianco 'Palistorti'
Ten per cent of the Vermentino is fermented in barriques and the remainder in stainless steel at 10° C to preserve the intense and fruity aroma with a hint of pink grapefruit and lytchees. It is pleasantly fresh on the palate and the acidity is balanced by considerable body. A warm but harmonious wine with ample aftertaste. A structured white in Mediterranean style, but with aromatic dignity and exceptional quality.

Mazzapink Rosso
A new project from the fine winemakers of Tenuta di Valgiano, that has a desire to appeal to a younger audience with its playful label design.
De-stemming and gentle foot-stomping in small vats //ageing in cement and partly in used oak barrels
This is a beautiful Tuscan wine; fun, bright and intense with a nose of strawberries, raspberry, blueberry and pepper; candied violets and juicy blood orange, garrigue and baked olives, rhubarb and sweet tobacco. Soft and integrated tannins with a fruity structure, juicy and pleasant with medium body. A wine whose label says it all - immerse yourself in a wonderful world where wine flows like rivers and gushes from fountains that emerges from the vineyard and aims for pleasure! A perfect wine for any meal.

Located between the Apennines and the Mediterranean coast in the north of Tuscany, Tenuta di Valgiano craft stunning, vibrant wines based on sangiovese supplemented with either merlot or syrah, depending on the vintage. Both cuvées are made identically, the difference being only that Palistorti (‘crooked posts’) comes from the estate’s younger vines. Did we mention these wines are stunning?
