Antonio Vallana e Figlio: extensive vineyard(s) tour and vertical tasting (The Family's Cellar, Maggiora, Italia): {in cantina} Fully evolved color of bronze. Sweet cherries on the nose, with accents of toffee and dried herbs. The palate is sweet-ish, the acids bursting with freshness after having several decades of slumber. Still managing some good grip on the lengthy (as in > one minute, maybe closer to 2 minutes) finish. Interestingly, the tension seemed to build with each successive taste, as if it was some kind of slow-release acidity; quite fun. This was quite a treat, and maybe the perfect wine to get me ready for the legendary 1955 Spanna Montalbano that follows.
Served non-blind. Audozed 1 hour.
