Gagliole Valletta 2020 750ml

Made with organic Sangiovese (50%) and Merlot (50%), the Gagliole 2020 Valletta is a broadly textured red wine with the softness you might expect of a warm vintage such as this. The Gagliole 2020 Valletta definitely holds more bulk and heft than the other wines in this portfolio, and your food choices should veer toward heavier dishes such as meat-filled lasagna or gnocchi with cheese. Despite that initial richness, the wine is actually quite streamlined, with polished tannins and balanced freshness to match. There’s no reason to wait. Some 7,000 bottles were made.
