Sp. Kett.class. Rosè VSQPRD...

Sp. Kett.class. Rosè VSQPRD...

Grape varieties: Pinot Nero/Chardonnay<br />Growing region: Medium-high hills in the Überetsch and Unterland regions<br />Altitude: 450-750 metres above sea level<br />Soil type: predominantly loose calcareous soils, with good clay content and normal occurrence of organic matter<br />Vine training system: pergola and espalier<br />Alcohol content: 12.50 % vol.<br />Serving temperature: 6-8°C<br /><br />Product description: Rosé vinification of the Pinot Nero grapes, which make up the largest part of the cuvée, with short maceration of the skins followed by soft pressing,<br />also reserved for the Chardonnay grapes, which come from areas particularly suited to sparkling wines. Fermentation takes place separately for both grape varieties at a<br />controlled temperature of 15°-16°C. After blending to form the cuvée, the tirage liqueur is added to the base wine in spring, so that the second fermentation takes place in<br />the bottle at a cellar temperature of 11°-12°C, during which the wine is left on its lees for at least 22 months before being degorgéed and put on the market.<br />Organoleptic characteristics: With a pale pink colour and peachy reflections, fine and persistent perlage, it expresses fruity notes of raspberry and sweet spices, enveloped<br />by pleasant scents of yeast. On the palate, it unfolds elegantly and dynamically with the delicate freshness and fine creaminess that lingers on the aromas of small forest<br />fruits and herbs.Gastronomic recommendationsSeductive as an aperitif, a good companion for starters with fish, especially pink ones such as salmon, crab and prawn, it<br />gives its best to the whole menu with sophisticated seafood dishes. Interesting with oriental cuisine and spicy dishes in general.<br />

Sp. 1919 Riserva Extrabrut...

Sp. 1919 Riserva Extrabrut...

Alto Adige - South Tyrol DOC<br />Grape variety: Chardonnay 60%, Pinot Nero 40%<br />Growing region: High slopes in the Überetsch and medium slopes in the Unterland<br />Altitude: 400 - 700 m. above sea level<br />Soil type: Skeleton-rich clayey limestone soils with a good proportion of organic matter<br />Ripening system: pergola and trellis<br />Plant density: 3,300 - 3,500 vines per hectare for pergola, 5,000 - 6,000 for espalier<br />Harvest date: First half of September<br />Alcohol content: 13.00 % vol.<br />Serving temperature: 6 - 8 °C<br /><br />Product descriptionThe grapes of the two varieties come from medium and high slope vineyards, whose cultivation produces an average yield of 90 quintals per hectare.<br />After harvesting, they rest at night in a cold cell, are then gently pressed and the pre-fermentation must is carefully and selectively vinified. Part of the Chardonnay (about<br />20%) is fermented and aged in barriques, while the remaining Chardonnay and Pinot Nero ferment separately in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C and<br />then refine on their lees until the following spring. The blending of the respective wines (Chardonnay from the wood and Chardonnay and Pinot Nero from the stainless steel)<br />then takes place before the addition of the tirage liqueur, bottling and storage in the cellar at a temperature of 10-12°C for the second fermentation and an average yeast time<br />of at least 60 months. After disgorgement, the sparkling wine refines on the bottle for a further three months before being released for sale.Organoleptic characteristicsPale<br />straw yellow colour with golden reflections, imbued with a very fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is wide and complex, with sensual notes ranging from candied citrus<br />and ripe fruit to engaging aromas of dried fruit and spices. The palate is at once supple and vibrant, with incisive acidity and an underlying mineral note. The carbonic acid<br />sets the rhythm of the dancing aromas that oscillate between the fragrance of fruits and the sensuality of pastries.Gastronomic recommendationsThe finesse-rich bouquet,<br />the dynamic perlage and the flavour complexity make it a sparkling wine that can accompany an entire menu and is particularly effective with flavour-intensive dishes, e.g.<br />with firm-fleshed fish (pork). For example, with firm-fleshed fish (tuna or heavy fish) and/or special preparation (fried, grilled, marinated) and/or seasoned with aromatic herbs.<br />Because of its spiciness, it must be tasted with spicy oriental or South American dishes with a clear spiciness.<br />

Champagne Roederer Carte...

Champagne Roederer Carte...

Bottle: 0.75 l<br />Characteristics<br />Carte Blanche is a champagne with a very traditional style due to its higher dosage, called 'demi-sec'. This style of wine-making was very popular and appreciated at the<br />end of the 19th century, particularly in certain northern European countries. Carte Blanche is therefore made from Brut Premier, to which more sugar is added at the time of<br />disgorging. The dosage gives the wine a rich, creamy and ample structure, contrasting with its freshness.<br />Grape varieties:<br />40% Pinot Noir<br />40% Chardonnay (of which 20% vinified in wood)<br />20% Meunier<br />Vinification:<br />Carte Blanche benefits from 3 years' cellar ageing, to which a 6-month rest period is added after disgorgement to perfect its maturity.<br />The dosage is 38 g/l.<br />It carries out a partial malolactic fermentation.<br />Tasting notes:<br />Carte Blanche reveals a range of sweet, ripe fruits (baked apple), intense floral notes (broom) and hints of warm, sugary almonds reminiscent of almond cream. The high<br />dosage is well balanced by both the wine's freshness and the long duration of disgorgement.<br />

Champagne Roederer Brut...

BRUT PREMIER<br />Characteristics<br />Always on the borderline between aperitif wine and wine for the whole meal, Brut Premier asserts its fresh style: direct, precise and juicy at the same time.<br /><br />Brut Premier is produced each year, seeking the same balance between freshness and pleasure: it is both elegant and rich, youthful and mature, with a very particular<br />structure, on the borderline between an aperitif wine and a wine for the whole meal. Every year it is assembled and recreated with patience, starting from the strength of the<br />last vintage (the base), which must be softened, patinated and tamed with care so as never to lose its peculiarities! It is the reserve wines, aged for individual parcels for up<br />to 10 years in French oak barrels, that give Brut Premier its unmistakable character. It is a meticulous work, involving 200 to 300 different lots: the wines, the vines, the crus,<br />the vintages blend in a harmonious and delicious way so that everything changes but remains the same!<br />Grape varieties:<br />40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay of which 10% vinified in wood (oak barrels) and 20% Meunier.<br />Vinification:<br />Brut Premier benefits from an average of 3 years of ageing in the cellar, to which is added a rest period of 6 months after disgorging, to perfect its maturity.<br />The dosage is 9 g/l.<br />Tasting notes:<br />A bright yellow wine with golden hues and a very dynamic effervescence. The nose has aromas of candied citrus fruits (lemon) with notes of peel, acidulous, combined with<br />the sweetness of toasted hazelnut, acacia flowers in full bloom. The palate is rich, fluid, round and fresh. The attack is centred on juicy, direct, dense fruit, pure but<br />characterised by sweetness, prolonged by a savoury freshness that gives it a remarkable mineral precision, an elegance without excess. The sensation is delicate, fluid,<br />consistent and with a particular immediacy!<br />

Masseto 2015 IGT Ornellaia...

Masseto 2015 IGT Ornellaia...

2015<br />Compared to a rather peculiar 2014, 2015 turned out to be an almost textbook vintage. After a rainy and mild winter with only a few days of sub-zero temperatures, budding<br />took place on time during the first days of April. The spring was dry and sunny, providing ideal conditions for regular vegetative growth, culminating in rapid and complete<br />flowering at the end of May. From June onwards, water stress gradually became evident. July will be remembered as a particularly hot and dry month, with maximum<br />temperatures above 30°C every day of the month. The heat, combined with the lack of rainfall, led us to fear that ripening would come to a standstill and that the harvest<br />would have to be brought forward. Fortunately, heavy rains fell around 10 August, which not only unblocked the ripening process but also brought much cooler temperatures<br />during the final ripening phase. This cool but sunny weather continued throughout the harvest, allowing us to pick the grapes with greater ease, choosing the ideal moment<br />to pick the various blocks of the vineyard, resulting in a fresh and lively aromatic quality with a perfect degree of phenolic ripeness together with abundant but soft and silky<br />tannins. The harvest began on 29 August with the youngest vines and ended on 16 September with the last portions of 'Masseto Centrale'.<br />TASTING NOTES: The regularity of the vintage, together with the ideal temperatures during the harvest, are reflected in a classic Masseto, with a perfect balance between<br />mature and complex aromatic expression of great freshness and a rare quality of broad, silky and soft tannins. Dark and intense in colour and rich in aromas with notes of<br />fully ripe red fruits and spices, balsamic and cocoa. In the mouth it becomes sensual and rich, with great density and ample and perfectly soft tannins. The fruity notes are<br />underlined by the subtle presence of oak, ending in a fresh and vivid finish with pronounced hints of cocoa.<br />

Ornellaia 2013 Bolgheri DOC...

Ornellaia 2013 Bolgheri DOC...

ORNELLAIA 2013 'L'ELEGANZA' - BOLGHERI DOC SUPERIORE<br />The desire to express the exceptional qualities of the estate has been at the heart of Ornellaia's philosophy from the very beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet<br />Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, a faithful expression of a unique terroir that has always been in harmony with nature.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES FROM THE ENOLOGIST 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot 'What seemed to be a disadvantage for the 2013<br />vintage - a late bud break and late flowering - turned out to be a great advantage thanks to a textbook summer and month of harvest, with cool temperatures but mostly<br />sunny weather. This led to a slow but complete ripening with great balance and fascinating aromatic quality, what we like to call 'Elegance'. Deep and dense in colour,<br />Ornellaia 2013 presents itself on the nose with a splendid aromatic complexity that is built around a bright and clear fruitiness, underlined by refined spicy and balsamic<br />notes. The palate develops with vibrant, complex fruit framed by a dense, slender structure with tannins that achieve a rare balance between firmness and flesh, concluding<br />with a long, balanced, fresh finish.' Axel Heinz - May 2015<br /><br />THE CLIMATE OF 2013 After the dry 2012, the winter of 2013 was characterised by mild but very rainy weather, which caused a delay in budding of a good 15 days. The<br />cold and rainy weather also led to an irregular and very long flowering period - two weeks later than average - which reduced production and caused uneven cluster<br />development. Fortunately, the summer, which arrived on time at the end of June, was perfect, dry and sunny, but not without some peaks of intense heat in July and August.<br />In the end, the vegetative delay was beneficial because it moved the ripening to after the hottest period. The mid-August thunderstorms significantly lowered temperatures -<br />especially at night - becoming favourable for aromatic expression, but forcing us to harvest later than average, starting on 9 September and ending on 14 October, with<br />mostly sunny weather without excessive heat.<br /><br />WINE-MAKING AND REFINING The grapes were hand-picked into 15 kg crates and selected on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then softly<br />crushed. Each variety and each parcel was vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 26-30°C for a week,<br />followed by maceration for a total of approximately 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barriques (70% new and 30% second passage). The wine<br />remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellars at a controlled temperature for a period of about 18 months. After the first 12 months it was blended and then reintroduced into<br />the barriques where it spent a further 6 months. The wine remained in the bottle for a further 12 months before release.<br />
