The estate’s 2006 Valdisanti is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc. Here the fruit is marvelously rich and decadent, with layers of cherry preserves, roasted coffee beans, new leather and French oak all woven together in fabric of notable class. The sheer richness of the fruit should allow the Valdisanti to develop gracefully in bottle for a number of years. Dried flowers and mint linger on the long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
These are the finest wines I have tasted from Tolaini, a relatively young property located in Castelnuovo Berardenga. For the first time the reliance on predominantly international varieties and the consultancy of Michel Rolland seems to be paying dividends.
