Vintage Collection Extra Brut 2018<br />Denomination: Franciacorta Millesimato.<br />Grape varieties: Chardonnay 65%, Pinot Nero 29%, Pinot Bianco 6%.<br />Original vineyards: 17 Chardonnay vines, with an average age of 28 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca and<br />Passirano. 7 Pinot Nero vines, with an average age of 29 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco and Passirano. 2 Pinot Bianco vines, with an average age of 29<br />years, located in the municipality of Passirano.<br />Harvest: 2018. Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method. The<br />grapes, freshly hand-picked into small crates, are graded and cooled. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive 'grape<br />spas'. A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wine to be transferred by gravity from the small barrels to the ageing tanks. After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing. The dégorgement takes place in the<br />absence of oxygen, using a unique system invented and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta<br />wines purer, more pleasant and longer-lived.

Chianti class. 2021...
At Castellare, Chianti Classico is produced using only two indigenous grape varieties: Sangioveto, the prince of Tuscan vines, which makes up 90% of the blend, and the<br />remaining 10% of Canaiolo, another typical variety of the area. The true Chianti Classico, therefore, without the addition of international vines such as Cabernet or Merlot, in<br />order to maintain the authentic formula of the most famous of Italian wines while seeking maximum elegance.<br /><br />Tasting notes: the colour of this Chianti Classico is the ruby red of Sangioveto. The nose is fragrant, fresh with pleasant hints of red fruit, liquorice, currants and a light touch<br />of vanilla. The typical notes of Chianti Sangiovese dominate. On the palate it expresses a pleasant sweetness, is round, soft and savoury. Acidity and persistence<br />characterise a very elegant aftertaste.<br /><br />Pairings: A very versatile wine that also goes well with structured and important dishes. It also goes well with stews and medium-aged cheeses.<br /><br />Varieties: 90% Sangioveto 10% Canaiolo<br />

Champagne Pommery 750ml...
The Apanage cuvée was conceived as a confidential cuvée dedicated to gastronomy.<br /><br />Apanage was created by meticulously selecting seventeen villages with a strong identity and link to Pommery. These terroirs, articulated around the solid base represented<br />by the Montagne de Reims, produce exceptional grapes each year, the indispensable basis for the creation of the POMMERY style.<br /><br />'Apanage' evokes distinction and privilege. The signature of Apanage is also a higher proportion of Chardonnay to give the wine a feeling of smoothness and elegance,<br />essential in the world of gastronomy.<br /><br />A superb pale yellow colour with very light golden highlights.<br />The fine buttery, almost pastry-like aromas are quickly joined by a bouquet of wild flowers and notes of candied citron and blood orange.<br />A frank attack, creamy notes in the mouth associated with notes of dried apricot and citrus fruit.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 8-10°C<br />Alcohol content: 12.5%.<br />Contains sulphites<br />

Südtiroler Weiß DOC Appius...
<br />Appius 2017<br /><br />Through an extreme pre-selection of the grapes, combined with a careful maturation in the cellar and a successful assemblage, it was possible to achieve a true sensory<br />symphony despite the climatically adverse conditions of the 2017 vintage.

Long lasting with a beautiful play of acidity.<br />Varietal description: chardonnay 54%, pinot grigio 24%, sauvignon blanc 12% and pinot blanc 10%.<br />Growing region: Site: selected vineyards in Eppan<br />Exposure: south-east / south-west<br />Soils: Calcareous gravel or moraine debris soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br />Age of vines: 25 to 35 years<br />Harvest: middle of September<br />Vinification: Fermentation, malolactic fermentation (except Sauvignon) and ageing in barriques.

Satèn is the most delicate and elegant Franciacorta. Produced only in the best vintages, it is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes harvested in the high hillside vineyards.<br />The selection of the grapes is meticulous, to say the least, as is the slow maturation in small white oak barrels. Once assembled, the cu-vée is aged in the cellar for a<br />minimum of 4 years. The abundant mousse, the very fine perlage and the golden straw colour announce enchanting and suave aromas of pink flowers, ripe citrus fruits and<br />noisettes. The fine mouthfeel follows suit, it is soft and creamy, perfectly balanced between ripe touches and fresh sensations.<br /><br />Grapes Chardonnay 100%<br />Training system Guyot<br />Planting density 5000 vines/ha<br />Yield100 quintals/ha<br />Average age of vines 25 years<br />Harvest period End of August, beginning of September<br />Ageing 65% pièces, 35% inox<br />Dosage 7 g/l<br />Acidity 6.7<br />

Franciacorta Extra Brut Pas...
An idea that rises to the sky. This cuvée symbolises purity, energy, freshness and transformation, like the clouds that enchant as they pass. Pas Operé, a blend of<br />Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, is the result of a rigorous vineyard selection process, so much so that it only comes from the historic plots that are over 30 years old and have a<br />predominantly southeastern exposure. The choice of no less than 40 vintage selections aims to define an essential, refined and elegant expression, without compromise. A<br />cuvée, of course, designed to last and evolve over time, as immediately expressive as it is long-lived. An exuberant white mousse is accompanied by a perlage of<br />unparalleled persistence and finesse, while the aromas are immediately complex, even in their essentiality.<br /><br />Grapes Chardonnay 75%, Pinot Noir 25%.<br />Training system Guyot<br />Planting density 5000 vines/ha<br />Yield 100 quintals/ha<br />Average age of vines 30 years<br />Harvest period End of August, beginning of September<br />Ageing 45% pièces, 55% inox<br />Dosage < 2 g/l<br />Acidity 7.0<br />
