The Wine Advocate:

There was no 2022 Valtosca because the hail affected the earlier-ripening varieties—Syrah and also Garnacha—so they jumped to the 2023 Valtosca for their Syrah. 2023 was a year when they could pick the variety a little later with full development of aromas and flavors. The wine is completely different form the rest: it's a different year and a different grape. It has pungent varietal aromas reminiscent of a Northern Rhône wine, with smoked bacon, tar and violets. It's juicy and round, with good ripeness, 15% alcohol and fine-grained and polished tannins. The oak is completely integrated here. It now matures in 500-liter barrels because it's the most reductive variety they farm, and it works better in barrel than in foudre. They struggled a lot in 2023 because it didn't rain a drop until May; that provoked a higher yield and vigor in the plants, and they produced a little over 20,000 bottles.
