Magnum Amarone Valpolicella...

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 />

Rosso di Montalcino 2023...

NOTES ON THE YEAR<br />The winter of 2022 was characterised by low temperatures and almost no rainfall. Budding took place in the first week of April, on average with previous vintages. Spring<br />continued with above-average temperatures that favoured vegetative development and early flowering. May and June were dry with classic summer temperatures. The rains<br />that arrived at the end of July and August allowed the vines to ripen in a balanced and constant manner. Harvest began in the first ten days of September.<br /><br />VINTAGE<br />2022<br />DENOMINATION<br />Rosso di Montalcino DOC<br />GRAPE VARIETY<br />Sangiovese 100%<br />NOTES BY GIOVANNI NERI<br />Rosso di Montalcino 2022 shows a beautiful young and lively red colour.

Magnum Il Conte 2023 BIO...

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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 />

Teroldego Rotaliano DOC...

Teroldego Rotaliano DOC...

Teroldego Rotaliano DOC<br />BOTTEGA VINAI<br /><br />Teroldego is probably the oldest quality vine variety produced in Trentino; in fact, there has been talk of it since the 15th century, but there is no certainty as to its<br />etymological origin: perhaps it refers to the 'Tiroler Gold' - gold of the Tyrol - for its intrinsic quality that prompted Cesare Battisti to define it as the 'prince wine of<br />Trentino'. In 1948, its producers were the first to form a consortium for the protection of Teroldego Rotaliano and in 1970 they were the first to obtain the recognition of<br />Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Production area: Campo Rotaliano, to the north of Trento, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo, on the glacial gravel banks of the<br />Noce torrent, which in fact reproduce the characteristics of the hillside.<br /><br />Grape varieties: exclusively Teroldego with a yield of 80 hectolitres per hectare. It has large, trilobate leaves with sharp, irregular toothing and red autumn colouring; the<br />vigour of the vines is good and constant, grown using the Trentino pergola; the bunches are fairly compact, the skin is pruinose and leathery and the flesh juicy.<br /><br />Vinification and refinement: it is vinified in red, with maceration lasting 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged partly in barriques and partly in Slavonian oak<br />casks, but only for 6 months and no longer, in order to preserve the fruity notes typical of the variety.<br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol:13,00%vol-Total acidity: 5 g/l-Net dry extract: 29 g/l-Residual sugar: dry-Contains sulphites<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: Intense ruby red wine, with marked and lively purple edges when young. The bouquet is clean, distinctly fruity with hints of raspberry and<br />blackberry and berries, such as raspberry, in the initial period; later, as it matures, the bouquet is enriched with new sensations, becoming ethereal, very broad and at the<br />same time personal. In the mouth it reveals a balanced tannicity, accompanied by a full and continuous texture. The taste is velvety, enveloping, full-bodied and austere.<br /><br />Serving suggestions: 'Tonco de Pontesel' from Trentino, venison and polenta, veal stew, mixed grilled meats.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 16-18°C<br />

Sassicaia 2022 TENUTA SAN...

Sassicaia 2022 TENUTA SAN...

TYPE: D.O.C. Bolgheri Sassicaia<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Bolgheri. The production facilities are located at an average altitude of between 100 and 300 metres above sea level, with western/southwestern<br />exposure.<br /><br />VINE: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: strong presence of calcareous areas rich in marl and stones and partially clayey.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: Selection of the grapes using a sorting table to eliminate impurities and any imperfections. Soft pressing and gentle de-stemming of the grapes using<br />suitable machinery to avoid breaking the integrity of the berries and avoid excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation (completely spontaneous and without the<br />addition of external yeasts) was completed in mid-October and took place regularly at maximum temperatures of 26-27 °C. Frequent delestages and open-air pumping over<br />allowed for excellent aromatic extraction and freshness in terms of the acidity of the musts. Malolactic fermentations (always without nocules), carried out in stainless steel,<br />were completed regularly at the end of November thanks to the low external temperatures. In early December, after frequent racking to clean the musts, the wine was<br />placed in barriques from the first ten days of December 2019.<br /><br />VINEYARD SYSTEM: spurred cordon<br /><br />COLOUR: purple red with violet reflections.<br /><br />BOUQUET: expressive and very fine bouquet, broad, with hints of cherry and aromas of undergrowth, balsamic herbs and rosemary.<br /><br />PAIRINGS: Meat of all kinds and fine game.<br /><br />TASTE: very fine and intense, with a fresh acidity supported by strong tannins. Balanced and long.<br /><br />AGEING: at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine was put into barriques using 40% new wood, 40% first passage and 20% second passage. We used French<br />oak barriques (Troncais and Allier in particular) with a fine grain and light toasting in order not to overdo the release of tannins. Sassicaia 2019, after about 25 months of<br />refinement in wood, was racked into steel tanks and further selected before final blending and then bottling.Subsequent refinement in bottle before release.<br />
