AboutTenuta di Valgiano
Tenuta di Valgiano is a wine estate in the hills around Lucca, centred on a fifteenth-century villa. The Petrini Avogadro di Collobiano family has owned the property since 1994. Vineyards, olive groves, animals and woodland form a mixed farm, guided by biodynamic principles since 2002. The vineyards sit between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with soils of calcareous marl, clay and Tuscan sandstone.

Vermentino accounts for half of the blend, joined by eighteen percent Trebbiano, sixteen percent Malvasia and sixteen percent Grechetto. Trebbiano spends three days on its skins, while a small portion of Vermentino ferments spontaneously in barrique and the rest remains in stainless steel at low temperature. Maturation lasts six months in the same vessels. Peach and citrus accompany freshness and a saline finish.
