Wines

Valiano Chianti Classico

Valiano Chianti Classico is brilliant ruby red in color and has an intense fruity aroma with strong berry notes. It has a well-balanced and well-structured flavor and pleasantly tannic aftertaste. Best drunk when young and its fruit perfumes are at their peak.


Valiano Poggio Teo Chianti Classico

Valiano Chianti Classico “Poggio Teo” originates from slopes of the hill of the same name in a typical Tuscan-like landscape, like a little corner of paradise where time seems to stand still. The "Poggio Teo" grapes are harvested in late September when they have reached their peak of maturity. Only the most carefully selected fruit is used to create this particular wine.


Valiano Vino in Musica

The grapes selected for Valiano Vino in Musica are harvested by hand in the first days of October when they have reached their ideal maturation. Pierangelo Piccini, Mario's father, was a great Modern Art lover, and in 1995 he had the opportunity to meet Giuseppe Chiari. Afterwards, Mr. Piccini had the idea to blend two different art forms: wine and music. Thus was created "Vino in Musica": six different labels from the original paintings of Giuseppe Chiari and a masterpiece of Super Tuscan wines.


Valiano Chianti Classico Riserva

Brick red with a scent of sweet spices, black plums and a touch of rose petal. Palate showed fennel seeds, white pepper and dried rosemary mixed with plum and cherries. Silky tannins, yet firm with balanced acidity and excellent length.
