Chardonnay DOC Lafoa 2024...
Chardonnay LAFÓA<br />Alto Adige Chardonnay DOC<br /><br />The grapes for this Chardonnay grow on old vines with very small yield. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 to 550 m a.s.l. on dry morainic soils. A sinewy but elegant Chardonnay with great potential for aging. Tasting notes: Of a pale intense straw yellow colour tinged with green nuances; a full but well- integrated wine, imbued with honeydew melon, creamy fruit salad and nutty aromas; ample acidity with a delicate underlay of oak on the palate and a long, luscious finish.<br /><br />Cellaring potential: 6-10 years.<br />Food Combination: This full-bodied wine is perfect on its own, but an incredible complement to rich fish dishes such as poached skate with mint cream sauce, Dover sole, Cicatelli pasta with fresh crab, stirfried scallops with ginger and the perfect partner to chicken and veal.<br /><br />Serve lightly chilled: 12-14° C.<br />Grape Variety: Chardonnay; old espalier-trained vines. Location: Selected vineyards at an altitude of approx. 400-550 m a.s.l. A very dry site, medium-structure morainic soils with a sand and gravel composition; the microclimate is cool, with striking contrasts between day and night time temperatures.<br /><br />Yielding: 49 hl/ha<br />Winemaking: Grapes are pressed without being destemmed; fermentation takes place in a combination of new and used oak barriques, where partially malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine refines on its fine lees for 10 months, and regular battonage is carried out. Further 6 months of bottle-aging before release.<br /><br /><br />

Magnum Amarone Valpolicella...
<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 />
