Il Conte 2021 BIO MANINCOR...
A wine which tastes of Manincor; truly unique. The essence of the hills around the wine estate and the lake, full of vigour and warmth.<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %<br /><br />Location & soil<br />The Manincor estate and the Panholzerhof, both sites are south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 m above sea level; soils are rich<br />comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and other morainal deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest in all South Tyrol, pre-destined for the<br />production of great red wines.<br /><br />Vintage<br />2021 was a relatively late year. The harvest began on September 13 with Sauvignon Blanc in Lieben Aich and ended on October 20 with Cabernet Sauvignon in Manincor.<br />The ripening period in particular was char-acterised by almost perfect weather, with sunny days and clear nights where it cooled down properly. So, the year 2021 is all<br />about balance. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in an optimal balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol char-acterise the vintage.<br />From end of September to mid of October we were able to harvest our Merlot, Lagrein and Cabernet Franc one after the other with perfect timing. The yield was 59 hl per<br />hectare.<br /><br />Expansion<br />Grapes from each parcel of vineyard were crushed separately and fermented in a mixture of oak and cement vats and stainless steel tanks using yeasts occurring naturally<br />in the vineyard. Skin contact lasted ten days and was rigorously controlled, during which time the cap of skins was pushed down into the fermenting liquid daily as it rose to<br />the surface in order to extract velvety, assertive but ripe tannins. Fresh fruit and elegance are the main qualities we strive for in this wine. The young wine was transferred<br />into oak barrels of varying sizes where it matured for twelve months.<br /><br />Data<br />Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13 % Vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation; 5.6 g/l<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br />Concentrated bright ruby. A rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate,<br />liquorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Almost Burgundian in its drinkability.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2023 to the end of 2028.<br />Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F<br />Delicious to accompany well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.<br /><br />Our claim<br />Biodynamic<br />Vegan<br />

Alie rosè Ammiraglia 2023...
Alìe 2023<br />Toscana IGT<br /><br />Alìe, a figure from Greek mythology, one of the sea nymphs, symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant rosé with a light, pure colour and subtle ruby hues. A fine<br />balance between Syrah and Vermentino, which find their ultimate expression in close proximity to the sea. Aromas of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus fruit rind<br />blend into a delicate structure with mineral hints typical of the area, giving a long and rich finish. Charming as an aperitif or with meals and good company.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2023 vintage was characterised by a mild winter with plenty of rain, concentrated mainly in December and January. The rains in March and April allowed the plants to<br />develop a vigorous, strong leaf wall, ensuring excellent vegetative development; the increase in temperatures and amount of water accumulated during the spring period led<br />to good cluster development in the summer period. The excellent summer temperatures and temperature fluctuations between day and night allowed aromatic substances to<br />accumulate on a large scale; the harvest period, characterised mainly by sunny days, enabled grapes to be picked at an optimal degree of ripeness. All this has translated<br />into highly structured wines with great aromatic expression.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Wine Variety: Syrah, Vermentino<br />Alcohol content: 12%<br />Maturation: 3 months in steel tanks<br /><br />Vinification and ageing<br />Alìe's secret lies in the nature of the land, the vineyard management, and, of course, the human element. The grapes, once harvested, were transported to the cellar quickly<br />in order not to spoil or damage the bunches.One of the highlights of the production of Alìe was the pressing phase.Whole bunches were loaded into the press, an oxygen-<br />free environment. The pressure applied during this phase was extremely soft and gentle; this process, together with the carefully selected must and its subsequent<br />decanting for no fewer than 12 hours, helped to bring out the distinctive characteristics of this tempting rosé. The fermentations took place in stainless steel tanks at a<br />controlled temperature below 19° C. After maturing for a few months on fine lees, later including a period in the bottle, Alìe 2022 has turned out as persuasive and charming<br />as usual.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Alìe 2023 is characterised by its splendid pale pink colour. The bouquet is complex, with sensations that recall citrus notes, nectarine peach, floral notes of peony and rose.<br />It continues with notes of aromatic herbs, such as thyme, sage and rosemary. The iodine notes are beautiful. There is a notable harmony in taste and aroma. Your palate<br />will detect a beautiful freshness and notable flavour.<br />
