Red wine

The new Valgiano wine was born from the management of the vineyards of our neighbors scattered on the hills between San Pietro a Marcigliano and Sant’Andrea in Caprile. The orographic conditions are the same as in Valgiano: half-hill vineyards (250 metres), resting on the imposing slope of the Pizzorne boulder (900 metres) and a few miles from the Tyrrhenian coast. The meso climate, a fundamental aspect of our terroir, is the same.The soils are quite similar. The vines have an average age of fifteen years. The collaboration with our neighbours was born eight years ago. Organic and biodynamic practices are entirely managed by our workforce. Tenuta di Valgiano buys the grapes at harvest time, then vinifies them in its cellar, following the practices that have always been implemented: de-stemming and pressing by foot in small vats are already a custom for this new "nectar". A little Sulphur is added at bottling time, whilst maturation takes place in large cement vats, for six months. Managing these vineyards is a stimulating project, the result of an ideal combination that unites a vineyard with excellent exposure to a soil slightly different from ours: it is Alberese limestone marl.
