‘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.

It’s a lungful of summer air above a sun-drenched Tuscan valley, an all-night party under a full moon.

Reviews

James Suckling – “A fragrant wine with multifaceted aromas of bramble fruit, blood oranges, leaves and aromatic herbs. Super-relaxing palate that’s supple and juicy, with crisp acidity and ripe, well-integrated tannins. A bit powdery in the finish.” (93 Pts)
