Valdellecorti Onydanse

Valdellecorti Onydanse is a characterful Tuscan red that brings together the best of international varieties and native Italian charm. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese, it offers a refined yet approachable expression of Toscana’s modern red wine style. This cuvée reflects Valdellecorti’s commitment to elegant, terroir-driven wines that still deliver generous fruit and complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Onydanse typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful purple highlights at the rim. The nose is inviting and layered, with notes of ripe black cherry and plum from the Merlot, cassis and subtle cedar from the Cabernet Sauvignon, and a bright red-berried lift and floral hints from the Sangiovese. On the palate, expect a medium to full-bodied wine with a harmonious balance between ripe fruit, refreshing acidity, and well-integrated tannins. Dark berries, cherry, and hints of violets mingle with delicate notes of herbs, spice, and a touch of tobacco or graphite, depending on the vintage. The finish is smooth and persistent, making it enjoyable in its youth while having enough structure to improve over the next several years when properly cellared.

Production
Onydanse is born in the rolling Tuscan hills, where a mix of clay, limestone, and stony soils helps shape both structure and aromatic finesse in the grapes. The vineyards are cultivated with an emphasis on careful canopy management and moderated yields to ensure concentration and balance. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, allowing for a precise selection of bunches. In the cellar, the varieties are typically vinified separately in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, before being blended to achieve the desired harmony of fruit, structure, and elegance. The wine is then matured—often in a combination of stainless steel and/or oak—so that oak influence supports, rather than dominates, the vibrant Tuscan fruit.

Food & Serving
Valdellecorti Onydanse is a versatile food partner, well-suited to classic Italian fare such as ragù-based pasta dishes, lasagna, grilled sausages, and roasted or braised meats. It also pairs beautifully with cured meats, aged semi-hard cheeses, mushroom dishes, and herb-roasted vegetables. Serve at around 16–18°C to highlight its aromatic complexity and textural richness. A brief decant of 30–45 minutes can help the wine open up, especially when young, allowing the fruit and subtle savory notes to fully express themselves.
