Chianti M.Antinori Tenuta...

Chianti M.Antinori Tenuta...

Tenuta Tignanello Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva 2018<br /><br />Climate: The 2018 season in Chianti Classico opened with a rather regular winter in terms of both temperatures and rainfall; despite these climatic conditions, the vineyards<br />began their budding activity a week earlier than the historical average for the area. The spring period, and in particular May, was characterised by frequent rainfall and slightly<br />lower than usual temperatures, while the months of June and July were dry and fairly warm, without ever experiencing extreme conditions. A few rainfalls in August and a<br />dry, breezy period in September and October allowed the grapes to ripen in an ideal manner, guaranteeing a good sugar content and excellent polyphenolic ripening.<br />Harvesting began around mid-September for the Sangiovese and ended in the first ten days of October for the Cabernet.<br /><br />Vinification: on arrival in the winery, the grapes were destemmed and then softly pressed; the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation<br />took place, lasting about a week. Maceration was managed with very delicate pumping over and délestage in order to guarantee an intense extraction but at the same time<br />able to preserve the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. At the end of malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the assembled<br />wine continued its aging in French and Hungarian oak barriques for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months.<br /><br />Historical data: Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, on the gentle hillsides between the Greve and Pesa valleys, and extends over 319<br />hectares, of which approximately 130 are planted to vines. The vineyards of Tenuta Tignanello are composed principally of the native Sangiovese and of non-traditional<br />varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Marchese Antinori is a historic Antinori wine which, since the 2011 vintage, has been produced with grapes from<br />Tenuta Tignanello. A wine which presents itself as the full expression of the quality and elegance of the Sangiovese of this area.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Marchese Antinori has a ruby red colour. On the nose intense notes of marasca cherry, violet and lavender alternate with small blood sensations, typical of<br />Sangiovese, and spicy hints of tobacco and leather; delicate notes of vanilla and cocoa powder complete the bouquet. On the palate it is enveloping, full, with an excellent<br />compactness of the tannic texture and a good liveliness that make it long and persistent. Excellent aftertaste characterized by red fruits and liquorice.<br /><br />Alcoholic degree: 14,00 %.<br />

San Giovanni della Sala...

San Giovanni della Sala...

San Giovanni Della Sala<br />Orvieto DOC Classico Superiore<br /><br /><br />Climate: 2020 will be remembered as a tendentially dry year. The winter, almost completely devoid of rain, was dominated by temperatures that were not too cold. The<br />spring weather, which arrived slightly later than in previous years, was characterised by mild days and temperatures above seasonal averages, with the exception of a few<br />cooler periods at the beginning of April. Then, from June until almost mid-August, the warm and dry weather led to an early ripening of the grapes. A summer thunderstorm<br />towards the end of August refreshed the later varieties such as Grechetto and Procanico, ensuring that they reached a good degree of ripeness while maintaining freshness<br />and fragrance. The harvest of Grechetto, Viognier and Pinot Bianco for San Giovanni della Sala began around the last week of August and ended with the harvest of<br />Procanico towards the middle of September.<br /><br /><br />Vinification: on arrival at the winery, the grapes were vinified separately by variety to enhance the varietal characteristics. Part of the must underwent cold maceration,<br />remaining in contact with its skins for about 6 hours at a temperature of 10 °C, before being combined with the must obtained from the soft direct pressing of the grapes. The<br />must thus obtained was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. The wine remained on its lees for a<br />few months to improve its structure, elegance and minerality until it was blended and bottled.<br /><br />Historical data: San Giovanni was born from the vineyards of the ancient Castello della Sala from the union of indigenous Grechetto and Procanico grapes with those of Pinot<br />Bianco and Viognier to tell the Orvieto Classico according to a new style. The first vintage of Castello della Sala Orvieto Classico was 1990.<br /><br />Tasting notes: San Giovanni della Sala has a light straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, pleasant notes of tropical fruit combine with light mineral<br />sensations. On the palate it stands out for its balance between structure and freshness with good flavour and a pleasant persistence of yellow flesh fruit.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 12.0% Vol.<br />

Pian delle Vigne 2016...

Pian delle Vigne 2016...

Pian delle Vigne 2016<br />Classification DOCG<br />Vintage 2016<br /><br />Climate: The 2016 vintage was characterised by a winter with little rain and a mild spring. These climatic conditions favoured a slight anticipation of budding and flowering,<br />which was made up for by the fruit set, which took place regularly. The summer, which tended to be cooler than in 2015, was characterised by temperatures above the<br />seasonal average, particularly in July and August. The light rainfall during the month of September and the consequent drop in temperature allowed the grapes to complete<br />their ripening in an optimal manner, enhancing the freshness of the Sangiovese and giving the wine soft and balanced tannins.<br />Harvesting for Brunello di Montalcino took place at the end of September.<br /><br />Vinification: on arrival in the winery the grapes were destemmed and softly crushed and then transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place.<br />Maceration lasted about fifteen days at a temperature of 28 °C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to oak barrels of between 30 and 80 Hl where it began<br />its maturation in wood. After two years Pian delle Vigne left the large cask and began its long refinement in the bottle.<br /><br />Historical data: Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, located 6 km south-west of Montalcino, takes its name from the village of the same name, where there is a characteristic railway<br />station from the 19th century. The estate consists of 184 hectares, 65 of which are planted with vines, mainly exposed to the south-west at an altitude of about 130 metres<br />above sea level. Pian delle Vigne has always pursued the philosophy of using large casks, which preserve the extraordinary integrity of the Sangiovese fruit and give Brunello<br />its characteristic vibrant elegance. The winery has been owned by the Antinori family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino<br />DOCG.<br /><br />Tasting notes: the wine has an intense ruby red colour. The nose is complex, with notes of ripe red fruit, reminiscent of cherries, well in harmony with floral scents. The<br />bouquet is completed by sensations of chocolate, tobacco, clove and both aromatic and balsamic herbs. A vintage, the 2016, capable of expressing great finesse and<br />elegance and to give the wine a good freshness accompanied by soft tannins and an excellent length of taste. Pleasant notes of spice and tobacco return on the finish.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 14% Vol.<br />

Rainfall was mainly concentrated in the autumn and<br />winter, and therefore emergency irrigation was carried out in June and July, allowing the vines to complete their vegetative-productive cycle in a regular manner.<br />Temperatures, particularly between July and August, were higher than the seasonal averages, which led to an advance of 1-2 weeks in the ripening periods of all the varieties<br />grown.

There was<br />also a drop in quantity of around 15% compared to the average. The ideal phenolic ripening gave fine and elegant reds. *Precipitation data are calculated from 1 October to<br />30 September of the following year; **The average is calculated from the 2003 harvest.<br />HARVEST: manual harvesting in boxes with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard.

Vin Santo 375ml SALVETTA 2009

Vin Santo 375ml SALVETTA 2009

Vin Santo<br /><br />Historical evidence tells of the existence of Vino Santo as early as the 16th century in the vicinity of Castel Toblino, and it is certain that a Vino Santo Puro was produced<br />from the Rauten vineyards in Sarche as early as 1825 (diploma Melbourne Australia 1880-1881).<br /><br />The ancient tradition, masterfully perpetrated up to the Salvetta brothers, comes back to life with the Salvetta Winery: the long and complex process leads to the birth of this<br />great meditation wine.<br /><br />Harvested late, in fact, the Nosiola bunches are left to rest in well-ventilated areas on the 'Arele', the racks on which the grapes dry naturally for several months, until they<br />are pressed during Holy Week, between March and April of the year following the harvest. The wine is then left to ferment and refine for five years in oak barrels and steel,<br />until bottling.<br /><br />The result is a sweet wine to be enjoyed at a temperature of 10 - 12 degrees, on its own or with dry desserts. The combination with blue cheeses and foie gras is<br />exceptional.<br /><br />The vintages currently being aged are those of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 harvests, while the 2009 and 2011 vintages are on sale.<br />
