Vallino Organic 2020

Exceptional, ultra-rich, 93-point Super Tuscan red from a quality-obsessed family winery
We discovered this sumptuously rich Super Tuscan at a family estate on the coast. There, Luca and Flavio Nuti go above and beyond to make the sort of generous, oaked red wines that we adore. Their 93-point, fruit-filled 2020 is exceptional.
Rolando Nuti was the first to plant a small vineyard in the 1900s, to produce reds solely for the family table. Over a century later, brothers Luca and Flavio Nuti use the same old vines to craft sought-after reds like this silky, rich Super Tuscan. With recognition at global competitions and multiple high scores, Vallino is a testament to decades of hard work and the duo’s passionate, quality-obsessed approach. They even play special 'music' at 440hz to soothe their top wines in barrel. Mainly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Sangiovese, it delivers dense flavours of plum, cassis and raspberry, with notes of chocolate, tobacco and vanilla, thanks to a year in fine French oak. An impressive red – open early and decant, or cellar.
