Decanter 94:
Val delle Rose is one of five estates owned by the leading Tuscan firm of Cecchi. The extensive property in the province of Grosseto was bought in 1996, completely replanted with predominantly Sangiovese, and converted to organic growing. There is a Riserva, but the estate's most representative wine is this very refined Morellino annata which has enticing fruit, spice and herbs on the nose, a juicy palate with polished tannins, and a long and fresh finish.
Suckling rates this outstanding, too:
This has an attractive nose of lavender, cherries, blueberries, mushrooms and lemon zest. Juicy, succulent and medium-bodied with relatively easy-going tannins.
As does Italian critic Raffaele Vecchione.
It’s also the top-rated vintage on Vivino.
Just a perfect weeknight Italian red – though this really is better than that.
