Antonio Vallana e Figlio: extensive vineyard(s) tour and vertical tasting (The Family's Cellar, Maggiora, Italia): [in cantina] Tasted earlier in the week at VinItaly, then again while visiting the estate. Energetic, clean aromas of ripe plums, light spice and dusty soil. Acidity seems low-ish at first, but the back and mid-palates fill out quickly revealing some youthfully tannic bitterness and the overall structure becomes more clear; stemmy, dry and coiled, but shows good promise. Medium finish, correct and more weighty than the Raudii of the same vintage. Should be at its best in 2015/16. 12,5% abv. Great value. recommended
Served non-blind.

Perfect. Weight is similar to the Campi, great juiciness, and there's almost a hint of bacon. Really delicious. Insane price.
