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 />

Cont'Ugo 2021 750ml...

Cont'Ugo 2021 750ml...

Climate<br />The 2021 growing season in Bolgheri was impacted by a long period of drought that lasted from June throughout September. However, unlike the 2017 vintage, winter was<br />particularly rainy which contributed to replenishing groundwater reserves in the deep soils that characterize this territory. The vines had the necessary soil moisture for the<br />entire growth cycle. Spring was cool resulting in a slight delay in bud break and flowering. Temperatures during the summer months were never excessive and ensured a<br />normal, gradual ripening phase of the fruit in each vineyard and produced berries that were whole and in perfect health. Merlot berries for Cont'Ugo began on September 8th<br />in the earlier ripening vineyards and was completed at the end of September in those late-ripening parcels.<br /><br />Vinification<br />After the grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected on sorting tables, the berries were transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel vats where alcoholic<br />fermentation and maceration on the skins took place over a period of about 20 days. Fermentation temperatures were managed based on the ripeness of the grapes: lower<br />temperatures were applied to preserve and enhance aromatic freshness while higher temperatures, up to 30 °C (86 °F), to boost extraction of phenolic compounds and<br />enhance structure. The different batches were divided according to their individual characteristics and then transferred into barriques where malolactic fermentation was<br />completed by the end of the year. The finest batches were blended and transferred back into second fill barriques for an additional 12-month period of aging, then bottled.<br />Cont'Ugo was bottled during the first half of March 2023.<br /><br />Historical Data<br />The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small, but prestigious, Bolgheri appellation on the coast Tuscany's Upper Maremma, some 60 miles (100 kilometers) to the<br />southwest of the city of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was created in 1994) but can boast a worldwide fame as a reference point wine on the<br />international scene. The estates covers an area of about 320 hectares (790 acres) planted to vines, in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the Bolgheri<br />amphitheater for its particular geographical conformation. The Guado al Tasso vineyards consist principally of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit<br />Verdot, and Vermentino grapes; this last cultivated with both with white and red varieties. They enjoy a mild climate due to the nearby presence of the Mediterranean Sea,<br />constant breezes mitigate summer heat, and the rigors of winter clear the sky and maintain a high degree of solar light and radiation. Cont'Ugo is produced exclusively from<br />Merlot grapes in order to interpret the territory of Bolgheri from a new perspective. The vineyards, situated at an altitude between 150 and 200 feet (45-60 meters) above sea<br />level on clayey-loam soils prevalently of alluvial origin, gave Cont'Ugo great depth and complexity while conserving the fragrance and richness of fruit which are typical of<br />Merlot.<br /><br />Tasting Notes<br />Cont'Ugo 2021 in intensely ruby red in color. The nose presents compelling aromas of small ripe red fruit, Marasca cherries and raspberries, together with hints of juniper<br />and moss. The palate is vibrant with excellent structure and a persistent fruity finish.<br />

OTELLO CECI NERODILAMBRUSCO -<br />EDITION 1813<br />Learn the rules like a professional, so you can break them like an artist. (Pablo Picasso) Otello Ceci Nerodilambrusco is the breaking of rules, it is the power of the artist. It<br />is an idea, a promise, a pact. There is the whole world of Lambrusco in this wine and its being recognised, but there are also roads little travelled by tradition that exalt the<br />rightness of Lambrusco, and it is here that the journey begins in the emotion of discovery, where depth and lightness are the ways that exalt the art of this wine.<br />TECHNICAL DATA SHEET<br />Denomination: Lambrusco Emilia I.G.T.<br />Typology: Sparkling red wine<br />Grape variety: Lambrusco<br />Harvest: end of September<br />Soil: clayey-calcareous of medium texture<br />Vinification: in red with maceration of the must on the marc for up to seven days, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperature.<br />Processing: Martinotti<br />Alcohol content: 11% vol.<br />Residual sugar: 30 g/l<br />Total acidity: 6.7 g/l<br />Serving temperature: 8/10°.<br />The data are to be considered as product averages.<br /><br />SENSORY ANALYSISAppearance: Intense ruby red colour, with a rich, lively and persistent mousse.Bouquet: Intense, satisfying, sinuous. The fruity notes are reminiscent<br />of cherry and berries such as blackberry and strawberry.
