Palistorti di Valgiano rosso, 2013

Tenuta di Valgiano is perched on the hills of the “Lucchesia”, squeezed between the Apennine mountain range and the Tyrrhenian coast. Purchased in 1992 by Moreno Petrini – a local guy on the hills of Lucca, and Laura di Collobiano, from Piemonte – she landed in Tuscany at the end of the Eighties, working in a shipyard on the shore, in Viareggio. Here, she met Moreno and together they started managing the vineyard with the help of Saverio Petrilli who quit the winery in Chianti he was consulting, for a new, more challenging terroir.
