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.
"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."
"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."
