Tasting Notes

Ripe black cherry, violet, and chocolate aromas lead into a palate filled with blueberry and cassis. Soft, round tannins frame a juicy yet structured core, finishing with sweet tobacco, earth, and cypress-like savory notes.

Food Paring

This mature Tuscan blend is a natural match for roasted lamb, grilled beef, and richly savory mains. Its layered fruit and supple texture also make it an excellent companion for veal, cured meats, and elegant dinner fare.

Professional Reviews

94 Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Valadorna is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Castelnuovo Berardenga comune. This is a dark and impenetrable wine with thick concentration and ripe fruit flavors. The two Cabernet grapes come out on top, and the wine delivers a heavy load of ripe fruit, garden herb and rosemary. This a ripe, bold and super opulent red wine from Tuscany that could pair with savory roasted lamb with mint sauce."

93 James Suckling

"Aromas of almonds and dark berry and chocolate follow through to a berry and chocolate character. There’s plenty of walnut too. Soft and velvety texture. Voluptuous. Drink now or hold."
