Magnum Amarone Valpolicella...
<br />Vinification<br /><br />Destemming and pressing of the grapes.<br />Maceration: about 20 days in stainless steel tanks.<br /><br /><br />Maturation and ageing<br /><br />36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels of 15 to 50 hl.<br />About 6 months in the bottle.<br /><br /><br />Sensory impressions<br /><br />A dark, almost inky ruby red colour with rich garnet hues. Bold yet delicate on the nose, it is redolent of ripe cherries, cassis and prunes; hints of milk chocolate, rhubarb<br />and balsamic mentholated tobacco also come through, creating an exquisitely refined, harmonious and elegant bouquet. Tonic and juicy on the palate, it is a ripe, full-<br />bodied wine with extremely lively tannins; an invigorating citrus note perfectly balances its high alcohol and helps make this big wine a most enjoyable drink.<br /><br /><br />Recommended food pairings<br /><br />Amarone is made from dried grapes and is therefore a concentrated, round and powerful wine, an elixir of long life. After a few years of bottle ageing, it becomes an<br />excellent complement for luxurious dishes such as jugged hare, roast turkey with truffles, braised beef in red wine, Amarone risotto. When savoured at its peak, it pairs<br />perfectly with ripe, pungent cheeses. A daring combination? Try it with cotechino.<br />

Magnum Il Conte 2023 BIO...
A wine which tastes of Manincor; truly unique. The essence of the hills around the wine estate and the lake, full of vigour and warmth.<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %<br /><br />Location & soil<br />The Manincor estate and the Panholzerhof, both sites are south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 m above sea level; soils are rich<br />comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and other morainal deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest in all South Tyrol, pre-destined for the<br />production of great red wines.<br /><br />Expansion<br />Grapes from each parcel of vineyard were crushed separately and fermented in a mixture of oak and cement vats and stainless steel tanks using yeasts occurring naturally<br />in the vineyard. Skin contact lasted ten days and was rigorously controlled, during which time the cap of skins was pushed down into the fermenting liquid daily as it rose to<br />the surface in order to extract velvety, assertive but ripe tannins. Fresh fruit and elegance are the main qualities we strive for in this wine. The young wine was transferred<br />into oak barrels of varying sizes where it matured for twelve months.<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br />Concentrated bright ruby. A rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate,<br />liquorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Almost Burgundian in its drinkability.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2023 to the end of 2028.<br />Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F<br />Delicious to accompany well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.<br /><br />Our claim<br />Biodynamic<br />Vegan<br />

These sudden changes in temperature delayed the ripening process, postponing<br />the start of the harvest until 10 September.<br />Vinification and ageing: Manual harvesting into boxes preceded the traditional soft pressing of the perfectly ripe grapes, with separation of selected fractions of the must,<br />which fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel and barriques.frothing took place in May, after a period of maturation of the base wine.the first disgorgement<br />took place 68 months after tirage.<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol: 12.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6,3 g/l<br />Dry extract: 22 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 5 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />Organoleptic characteristics: White mousse with fine and continuous perlage; straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. Fine and intense bouquet with notes of apple<br />and citrus fruits, accompanied by hints of minerals, candied fruit and pastries. Fresh and balanced in the mouth.
