Tenuta di Valgiano

2025 Palistorti di Valgiano Bianco

A Mediterranean white with deep roots in Lucca. Here, as in much of Tuscany, white grapes were traditionally planted and vinified alongside red varieties, often mixed together directly in the vineyard. Palistorti Bianco comes from that history, expressing the bright, elegant white side of the land. Vermentino takes the lead, joined by traditional grapes including Trebbiano, Grechetto, and Malvasia.
