Franciacorta DOCG Saten...
Classification<br />Franciacorta DOCG<br />Vintage<br />2021<br />Vinification<br />The 2020 growing season in Franciacorta began with mild<br />winter weather that prompted normal budbreak during the first<br />two weeks of April. Flowering took place during the second half<br />of May under mild climatic conditions. June brought lower-<br />than-average temperatures and generous rainfall while July was<br />dry and breezy, ideal conditions for optimal veraison and<br />ripening phases. Excellent temperature swings between day<br />and night allowed the grapes to develop rich aromas and bright<br />acidity, ideal for producing fine sparkling wine. The grape<br />harvest for Donna Cora began mid-August.<br /><br />Tasting Notes<br />Donna Cora is straw yellow in color. Its creamy mousse and delicate, persistent perlage define the finest qualities of<br />Franciacorta Satèn. The nose presents elegant notes of white flower blossoms and pleasant hints of white pulp fruit.<br />The palate reveals balance and complexity, the perfect expression of an extraordinary and elegant vintage.<br />Historical Data<br />The Montenisa estate is located around the hamlet of Calino, near Lake Iseo in the heart of the Franciacorta<br />appellation. The vineyards surrounding the proprietary villa of the Maggi family have been the heart of the<br />production of Marchese Antinori Franciacorta since 1999.<br />

Maggiarino Nobile...
Maggiarino 2021<br />Classification<br />Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano DOCG<br />Vintage<br />2021<br />Climate<br />Winter began with mild weather with higher-than-average<br />temperatures and abundant rainfall that provided excellent<br />groundwater reserves. In general, the spring season was dry,<br />especially during the month of March, presenting excellent<br />conditions for soil management while prompting budbreak 10<br />days earlier than average, which began on April 6th. A sudden<br />cold spell the night of April 8th caused a significant reduction<br />in yields but did not adversely affect the future quality of the<br />fruit. Flowering took place later than usual, during the final days<br />of June, when daytime weather was hot and sunny. Summer<br />brought dry conditions and higher-than-average temperatures<br />that ensured the fruit was well-balanced and fully ripe.<br />Sangiovese grapes for Maggiarino were harvested on<br />September 24th.<br /><br />Vinification<br />The finest Sangiovese grapes selected from choice vineyards on the Maggiarino farm, one of the most renowned<br />areas of the La Braccesca estate, underwent specific vinification processes aimed at preserving aromas and<br />enhancing its structure. After the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, the must was transferred to stainless<br />steel vats where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 28 °C (82 °F). Maceration on the<br />skins took place over a period of approximately 20 days. The wine was then transferred into tonneaux where<br />malolactic fermentation occurred, and barrel aging began for a period of approximately 12 months. Maggiarino<br />2021 was bottled in spring 2023.<br />Historical Data<br />The estate's name comes from the historical farm that once stood there, owned by the Count of Bracci, whose coat<br />of arms appears on the estate's logo; an arm covered with armor brandishing a sword. The property extends over an<br />area of 508 hectares (1255 acres) and the vineyards cover an area of 340 hectares (840 acres) divided into two<br />blocks: the first is 366 hectares (904 acres) of which 237 (585 acres) are planted with vineyards and is located on<br />the border between the cities of Montepulciano and Cortona. The other block is 142 hectares (350 acres) of which<br />103 (254 acres) are planted with vineyards, it extends all the way to Montepulciano encompassing three of the most<br />famous parcels of land known for the production of great red wines: Cervognano, Santa Pia and Gracciano.<br />Maggiarino comes from the vineyards of the eponymous farm, one of the most renowned areas on the La Braccesca<br />estate. A well-balanced wine that expresses the grape variety's aromas and personality with its silky tannins, typical<br />of the Nobile di Montepulciano territory, a historic Tuscan appellation.<br />Tasting Notes<br />Maggiarino 2021 is ruby red in color. The nose is complex and intense with notes of mixed berries, sour cherries<br />and red plums that meet fresh aromas of lavender and jasmine blossoms. Pleasant hints of anise and ginger<br />accentuate the bouquet together with delicate notes of vanilla and spicy nuances of chilli chocolate. The palate is<br />harmonious, well-balanced, full bodied, with velvety dense tannins that accompany a finish defined by outstanding<br />sapidity and an aftertaste of red fruit and cocoa powder.<br />
