Brunello di Montalcino docg...
GIOVANNI NERI<br />BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG<br /><br />Giovanni Neri's Brunello di Montalcino embodies tradition, production philosophy, the values of sustainability and typicality of the territory, experience and passion in the<br />vineyard and cellar. Fifty years after the purchase of the first vineyard, Giacomo, Giovanni and Gianlorenzo dedicate to the founder of Casanova di Neri a wine that is a great<br />expression of pure Sangiovese born mainly from a vineyard that boasts a marvellous exposure, splendid vines more than half a century old and exceptional soil. Giovanni<br />Neri creates another great scenario that once again combines the importance of tradition with our continuous quest for innovation.<br /><br /><br />NOTES OF GIOVANNI NERI<br /><br />It presents itself to the eye with a bright, brilliant red colour. Cherry aromas emerge on the nose. White flowers and blood orange emerge with a little airiness. The palate is<br />well balanced, creamy and releases the purity of red fruits. The finish is savoury and of great purity. The greatness of the 2019 vintage can be glimpsed but will be best<br />expressed after a few years of bottle ageing.<br /><br />VINTAGE NOTES<br />The winter was characterised by mild temperatures with average rainfall compared to previous years. A stable and sunny March and April were followed by an unusual May<br />with very low temperatures and abundant rainfall. All these factors contributed to delaying flowering and fruit set by a few days. June and July were warm and dry with high<br />peaks that allowed the initial vegetative delay to be recovered. Abundant spring water reserves and a warm and stable August allowed the grapes to ripen regularly.<br /><br /><br />AGEING PERIOD 30 months in casks - 22 months in bottles<br />ALCOHOL CONTENT 15%.<br />DRY EXTRACT (g/lt) 31.5<br />TOTAL ACIDITY 5.8<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE (°C) 16-17°<br />

Amarone Valpolicella DOCG...
<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-bodied<br />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 excellent<br />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 perfectly with<br />ripe, pungent cheeses. A daring combination? Try it with cotechino.<br />
