We discovered this sumptuously rich Super Tuscan red last year, at a family estate on the coast. There, Luca and Flavio Nuti go above and beyond to make the sort of generous, oaked reds that we adore. Their 94-point, fruit-filled 2017 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 (and generations of expertise) to craft sought after reds that delight customers across Italy. 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. Mainly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Sangiovese, it delivers luscious flavours of plum, cassis and raspberry, followed by notes of chocolate, tobacco and vanilla, all thanks to 12 months in fine French oak. A red that punches well above its weight.

"A full, silky red with lots of crushed black cherries and hints of blackcurrants and minerals" James Suckling
