The estate’s 2011 Pecorino impresses for its energy and focus. White peaches, flowers and subtle hints of earthiness are layered into this beautifully nuanced, vibrant wine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2014. La Valentina is a great source for flavorful reds that emphasize the richness Montepulciano is capable of. The whites are newer to me, but they are equally delicious, and great values too. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405
