Il Bruciato BOLGHERI 2023...

Il Bruciato BOLGHERI 2023...

Il Bruciato 2023<br />Classification<br />Bolgheri DOC Rosso<br />Vintage<br />2023<br />Climate<br />The 2023 growing season in Bolgheri began with mild winter weather with limited precipitation that caused slightly early budbreak, which occurred from March 20th<br />forward. The spring months brought repeated rain showers and, although they were moderate in intensity, required careful vineyard management to preserve healthy vines.<br />Overall, July was hot and dry and proved to be beneficial in slowing down vine vigor while creating optimal conditions for veraison and ripening phases. Temperatures in<br />August were consistent with seasonal averages while at the end of the month unstable weather from the Atlantic brought rain and relief from the heat restoring favorable<br />conditions for an optimal ripening phase. Sunny dry conditions in September allowed each vineyard parcel to reach peak maturity and ensured the highest quality levels.<br />Merlot was harvested from the beginning to mid-September, while Syrah and Cabernet Franc were picked from mid to end of September. The grape harvest was completed<br />during the first half of October with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.<br /><br />Vinification<br />Upon arrival in the cellar, selected clusters were destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation and maceration on<br />the skins took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for approximately 15-20 days at a temperature<br />of 28-30 °C (82-86 °F). A portion of the Merlot and Syrah musts were kept at lower temperatures during<br />fermentation to better preserve each grape variety's distinctive aromas. Malolactic fermentation took place both in<br />barriques and in stainless steel tanks and was completed by the end of the year for all grape varieties. Afterwards,<br />Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with Merlot, Syrah, and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot:<br />the blend was reintroduced into barriques where it was left to age before bottling.<br />Historical Data<br />The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC appellation on the coast of Upper<br />Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest of Florence. This appellation has a relatively recent history as<br />it was established in 1994 but has gained worldwide recognition as a new reference point in the international<br />oenological scene. The estate covers an area of 1000 hectares (2500 acres), about 320 (790 acres) of which are<br />planted with vines. The remainder is richly covered with wheat fields, sunflowers and olive groves, set in a beautiful<br />plain encircled by rolling hillsides known as the Bolgheri amphitheater due to its particular shape. Guado al<br />Tasso's vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino<br />grapes; this last cultivated with both with white and red varieties. The nearby sea provides a mild climate with<br />constant breezes mitigate summer heat and alleviate harsh winter weather, maintaining a clear sky and a high level<br />of sunlight exposure. Il Bruciato was created in the year 2002 during one of the most difficult vintages at Guado al<br />Tasso in order to present the unique terroir of Bolgheri and give it a greater visibility and recognition. The first<br />blend to be used was that of Guado al Tasso only to see, in the years which followed, a modification of the varietal<br />composition and the identification of a series of vineyard plots intended to be used exclusively for this wine. The<br />wine was not produced in the 2003 vintage.<br />Tasting Notes<br />Il Bruciato 2023 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with sweet, captivating aromas of small ripe red fruit<br />and plums that lead over to delicate spicy notes. The palate is full bodied yet at the same time delicate, powerful and<br />refined. A wine that is extremely easy to drink defined by supple and well-concentrated tannins that impart<br />dimension, persistence and balance.<br />

Lupicaia 2016 Castello del...

Lupicaia 2016 Castello del...

LUPICAIA 2016<br /><br />Denomination: I.G.T. Rosso Toscana (Lupicaia)<br />Producer: Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana,Vittorio Piozzo di<br />Rosignano Rossi di Medelana<br />First vintage: 1993<br />Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot<br />Analytical data: Alcohol degree: 14.50%.<br />Soil type: The soils are rich in iron minerals with the presence of stones and fossils. Facing the Mediterranean Sea, they benefit from a unique reflection of the sun, a moderate breeze from the coast and the abundance of sunlight promotes unique ripening.<br /><br />Training system: Spurred Cordon<br />Planting density: 3,600 vines/Ha for old vineyards; 5,600 vines/Ha for new vineyards<br /><br />Climatic trend: 2016 was certainly one of the most regular vintages of the last decade. Rainfall met the vines' needs punctually: abundant in March, regular in May and June, important at the end of July and, finally, a warm and sunny August and mid-September. Temperatures were optimal: a mild end to the winter that had caused concern was then regularised by a tenably cool spring that slowed down the development of the bunches, which then benefited from the hot but not torrid summer, with significant temperature swings. Cluster growth was regular and optimal, production was good and ripening was perfect.<br /><br />Harvest period: Harvesting was strictly by hand and took place for the Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from mid-September. After an initial selection in the vineyard at the time of manual harvesting, the Lupicaia grapes are carefully selected a second time on arrival at the winery on the sorting table.<br /><br />Winemaking notes: After manual selection on the sorting table, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed, taking care not to break the skin of the berries. Meticulous alcoholic fermentation takes place in our stainless steel open-cap fermenters at a controlled temperature with maceration of the grapes for about 20 days. Daily dèlestages allowed the perfect extraction of the bouquet<br />aromas and the right tannic balance, with an important structure that will allow for long ageing.<br /><br />Ageing: Ageing takes place in new French oak tonneaux for a period of about 22 months followed by further ageing in bottles before release.<br /><br />

Le Volte 2024 IGT Toscana...

Le Volte 2024 IGT Toscana...

LE VOLTE DELL'ORNELLAIA 2024<br />TOSCANA IGT ROSSO<br /><br />Instantly enjoyable, versatile and playful, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is all about conviviality. This bright red wine opens<br />the door to the world of Ornellaia and simply shares the passion for quality that is experienced every day on our<br />estate and with every sip.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES<br />Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot Alc. : 13% vol.<br />Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2024 is a bright purple in the glass. Fresh red fruit like cherries and wild strawberries emerge on<br />the nose, accompanied by elegant mentholated notes that provide aromatic depth and freshness. Exquisite to taste, the wine<br />has a bold structure, while remaining elegant and delicate. Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is harmonious and balanced, complex<br />and juicy, a joy to drink.<br /><br />THE 2024 GROWING SEASON<br />2024 is a precocious and promising vintage. The growing season began quite early, aided by the mild and rainy<br />conditions in the first part of the year, which ensured an excellent water supply for the vineyards. Even in the<br />following months, abundant rainfall continued to support plant development, although it made vineyard<br />management particularly demanding and required great care. Starting at the end of June, the arrival of warm, sunny<br />days created ideal conditions for a quality harvest. The vines gradually slowed their growth, showing reduced vigour<br />at just the right time: during véraison at the end of July, a crucial phase for concentration and aromatic development.<br />This hot and dry period was interrupted in mid-August by some localized storms, which brought variable rainfall<br />across different vineyards, allowing the grapes to complete their ripening in optimal conditions. From early<br />September onwards, an alternation of sunny, cool and occasionally rainy days accompanied the harvest through to<br />its conclusion, naturally balancing the concentration of the berries without compromising their health. In summary,<br />2024 proved to be a balanced and dynamic vintage, with nice freshness and poised to produce elegant and<br />aromatically intense wines.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND AGEING<br />The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic<br />fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months,<br />partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic<br />structure and the expression of fresh fruit.<br /><br />

Siepi Toscana IGT Mazzei -...

Siepi Toscana IGT Mazzei -...

'One of the 50 wines that changed the style of Italian wine' (Gambero Rosso)<br /><br />From the very beginning Siepi, owned by the Mazzei family since 1435, has been a model estate, still worked today with the same respect for the land. A unique position, a<br />special microclimate and the intuition at the beginning of the 1980s to plant Merlot as an ideal complement to Sangiovese in a particularly suited 'terroir' give rise to a wine<br />with a perfect balance of elegance, power and complexity.<br />
