RT IGT 2021 Governo Toscano...

RT IGT 2021 Governo Toscano...

The Sangiovese<br />Vin del Fattore is a modern take on the Governo technique used in Tuscany by drying part of the grapes in crates at a controlled temperature.<br /><br />Grapes: Sangiovese 95%, Ciliegiolo 5%.<br />Training system: spurred cordon<br />Planting density: 4000 vines/hectare<br />Soil type: sandy loam<br />Altitude: between 60 and 90 metres a.s.l.<br />Age of vineyards: 5-10 years<br />Harvest time: mid-September for Ciliegiolo, early October for Sangiovese<br />Method of fermentation: The Sangiovese grapes are harvested by hand into small perforated crates and dried in cold rooms until they lose 15% of their weight. Vinification of<br />the Sangiovese grapes at low temperature (max. 27°C) with maceration on the skins for 4-6 days, racking and end of fermentation without further contact with the skins.<br />After about 4 weeks of drying, the Ciliegiolo grapes are pressed and, once full fermentation is reached, the previously vinified Sangiovese is added. Fermentation proceeds<br />until the sugars are almost completely depleted; malolactic fermentation starts naturally at the end of primary fermentation.<br />Maturation: in steel for three months on the fine lees.<br />Bottling: in the month of May following the harvest.<br />Ageing potential: to be drunk young, within 2-4 years after harvesting.<br />Description: Sangiovese Toscano IGT Vin del Fattore is an elegant ruby red wine, with pleasant notes of red fruits (plums, blackberries and cherries) and hints of spices.<br />Medium structured and dry, round on the palate with an elegant fruity finish and round tannins.<br />Food pairing: Perfect with cured meat starters, first courses with meat sauces and main courses.<br />Serving temperature: 16°C<br />Ideal glass: a large Bordeaux-type goblet.<br />

His small revolutions in the cellar fascinated experts, starting with Veronelli, and brought Hauner's Malvasia to the tables of prestigious restaurants, in Italy, France,<br />the United States, Great Britain and Japan. In the 1980s, with the construction of a modern cellar, production was expanded, and alongside the Malvasia, Salina Bianco,<br />Salina Rosso and Antonello were born, a product of great lineage aged in barriques. aged in barriques.

Castello del Terriccio 2016...

Castello del Terriccio 2016...

CASTELLO DEL TERRICCIO 2016<br /><br />Denomination: I.G.T. Rosso Toscana (Castello del Terriccio)<br />Producer: Castello del Terriccio<br />First vintage: 2000<br />Grapes: Syrah, Petit Verdot<br />Analytical Data: 14% Vol.<br />Soil type: The soils are rich in iron minerals with the presence of stones and fossils. The perfect slope towards the Mediterranean sea, a unique reflection of the sun, a<br />gentle coastal breeze and plenty of sunlight promote a unique and exclusive ripening.<br /><br />Training system: Spurred Cordon<br />Planting density: 3,600 vines/Ha. for old vineyards; 5,600 vines/Ha. for new vineyards<br />Climatic trend: 2016 was certainly one of the most regular vintages of the last decade. Rainfall met the vines' needs punctually: abundant in March, regular in May and June,<br />important at the end of July and, finally, a warm and sunny August and mid-September. Temperatures were optimal: a mild end to the winter that had caused concern was<br />then regularised by a tenably cool spring that slowed down the development of the bunches, which then benefited from the hot but not torrid summer, with significant<br />temperature swings. Cluster growth was regular and optimal, production was good and ripening was perfect.<br /><br />Harvest period: Harvesting was strictly by hand and took place for the Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes from mid-September. After an initial selection in the vineyard when<br />harvested by hand, the grapes are carefully selected a second time on arrival at the winery on the sorting table.<br /><br />Winemaking notes: After manual selection on the sorting table, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed, taking care not to break the skin of the berries. Alcoholic<br />fermentation takes place in stainless steel open-cap fermenters at a controlled temperature, with maceration of the grapes, for about 20 days. Daily dèlestages allowed the<br />extraction of the aromatic bouquet and the right balance<br />tannicity, with important structure that will allow long ageing.<br /><br />Ageing: The wine is aged in first and second passage French oak Tonneaux for a period of about 22 months and then blended and bottled.<br />

Vecchie Viti NIPOZZANO 2019...

Vecchie Viti NIPOZZANO 2019...

Castello Nipozzano<br />Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2019<br /><br />Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG<br /><br />This wine, chosen by the Frescobaldi family to continue the tradition of reserving a Private Collection for its newborns, originates from the oldest vines of Castello Nipozzano,<br />endowed with a deep root system. Of great complexity and harmony, it is aged for 24 months in oak barrels in the ancient Tuscan tradition.<br /><br />Climatic trend: at Castello Nipozzano, winter 2019 was characterised by long periods of sunshine with low temperatures. Spring, on the other hand, was cool; the rains that<br />fell ensured good water reserves to face the hot summer days. The summer period was characterised by temperature fluctuations that helped to provide coolness during the<br />night, with the usual breezes from the slopes of the Apennines contributing in particular. The grapes were therefore accompanied to maturity by a combination of the warmth<br />of the sun and refreshing breezes; the bunches arrived at the harvest in perfect condition and the production expressed itself with wines typical of the area, marked by a<br />good<br />acid vein and silky tannins.<br /><br />Technical notes:<br />Varieties: Sangiovese and traditional complementary varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br />Maturation: 24 months in barrels<br /><br />Vinification and maturation: The grapes of Sangiovese and traditional complementary varieties, as soon as they were harvested, were immediately delivered<br />in the winery. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in cement tanks. At the end of this, the wine remained in the vats to complete<br />maceration. Its journey continued in wooden barrels, where the wine remained to mature for the necessary time. The subsequent period in the bottle allowed for greater<br />balance of all the components, giving the possibility of fully appreciating its essence once the bottle was opened.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Vecchie Viti 2019 has a wonderful intense ruby red colour. On the nose one recognises floral hints of violet that are accompanied by more fruity notes of<br />black cherry, plum, blueberry and blackberry. Notes of pepper and cinnamon are also interesting along with hints of walnut and walnut husk. This is rounded off by the<br />wonderful and typical balsamicity accompanied by an elegant toastiness. On the palate, the acid-alcohol balance is impressive, the tannins are velvety.<br />The minerality perceived on the finish is also extraordinary. Good persistence.<br />

La Vite Lucente 750ml...

La Vite Lucente 750ml...

LUCENTE 2019<br /><br />Cold and sunny winter, the spring was characterised by low average temperatures and high rainfall, which allowed the creation of important water reserves in the soil. This<br />situation of low light and rainfall resulted in a slight delay in the vine's vegetative cycle. Flowering took place between the last days of May and the beginning of June. The<br />season then continued regularly, with a hot summer, without any particular temperature peaks, with some rainfall between the end of July and the beginning of August.<br />The mild September temperatures and good water reserves favoured a slow and regular ripening.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: The wine is an intense purplish red colour. The nose is characterised by notes of ripe red fruit, raspberries and sour cherries are joined by sensations of<br />vanilla and a light balsamic hint. On the palate the attack is soft, balanced, well supported by a pleasant freshness and smooth tannins, characteristics that together with<br />the sweet aftertaste give the wine length and persistence.<br /><br />Grapes: Merlot, Sangiovese<br />Harvest period: Merlot: 12 September, Sangiovese: 23 September<br />Sugar at harvest: Merlot: 252 g/l; Sangiovese 250 g/l<br />Total acidity at harvest: Merlot: 6.50 g/l; Sangiovese 7.05 g/l (in tartaric acid)<br />Fermentation tanks: stainless steel thermo-conditioned<br />Fermentation temperature: 28°C<br />Type of ageing container: partly new, partly used barriques<br />Length of ageing: 12 months<br />Analytical Data<br />Alcohol: 14.5% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.56 g/l<br />PH: 3,49<br />

Sauternes Chateau Rieussec...

The Sauternes and Barsac AOCs are located south of Bordeaux, specifically in the Graves. Both AOCs date back to 1936. The area known as Sauternais comprises five<br />communes: Barsac, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac and Sauternes; while that of Barsac exclusively comprises the commune from which it takes its name. It is worth noting<br />that these regulations allow Barsac producers to name their wines both Barsac and Sauternes AOC (both are often mentioned on the label), while Sauternes producers can<br />only name their wines Sauternes AOC. The area's soils are of alluvial origin with a good presence of limestone; what gives this area its unique characteristics is the<br />microclimate created by the Garonne and Ciron rivers and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean: these presences are decisive in favouring the development of pourriture noble,<br />noble rot, on the grapes, creating a unique concentration. The varieties used for the AOC Sauternes and Barsac are: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.<br />The quality of the wines produced in these areas has a long history, in fact already in 1855 Napoleon III, drawing up the first classification of Crus, recognised Château<br />d'Yquem as the only Premier Cru Supérieur located outside the Medoc, followed by two other categories: Premier Cru (11 Châteaux) and Deuxième Cru (15 Châteaux).<br /><br />Varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle.<br /><br />Vineyards: The Château Rieussec vineyards extend to the border between Fargues and Sauternes: it is one of the largest estates in Sauternes and Barsac and covers 93<br />hectares. The soil is gravelly-sandy-clayey.<br /><br />Vinification: Château Rieussec 1er Grand Cru Classé is aged between 18 and 26 months depending on the vintage in new barrels (50 to 55%).<br /><br />Characteristics: Château Rieussec 1er Grand Cru Classé has a beautiful, brilliant golden colour. This Rieussec has a remarkable aromatic freshness, linked to the unusually<br />high proportion of Sauvignon in the blend (25%). Aromas of citrus fruits, honey and candied apricots are accompanied by well-integrated oak notes. Citrus aromas<br />predominate on the palate, while the finish is long with a touch of spice.<br />
