Organic/Bio We’ve always admired Tolaini’s Valdisanti blend for the way it matched Cabernet richness with a 20% dose of firm, austere, juicy Sangiovese. But it turns out we just didn’t know how good it could be when it was 100% Cabernet – 50/50 Sauvignon and Franc – in a great, warm, year like 2018.  This rich, deep, powerful “super-Tuscan” blend will be best from 2023-2031, but don’t be afraid to decant for an hour or two and enjoy with beef, lamb, or earthy vegetarian dishes now. Marvelous stuff.

James Suckling: 94 Points

"Crazy nose of blackberries and red chilies follow through to a full-bodied palate with chewy yet polished tannins that expand in the mouth, giving it a velvety texture. Extremely long and flavorful. Turns compact. Give it time to open."

Vinous: 92 Points

"The 2018 Valdisanti is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc. Vibrant and nuanced, it offers up an exotic array of blackberry, lavender, spice, mocha, new leather and licorice, all in a mid-weight style that balances richness and energy. This, too, is nicely done."
