Exilissi SELL Spätl....
Exilissi Sell 2007<br /><br />Vintage: After an exceptionally mild winter, the vines sprouted earlier than ever before. April and May were also warmer than average, so that by mid-May the flowering was<br />already over in all locations. This 3-week advance in vegetation lasted until harvest. The cool August and a golden September proved it once again: The last weeks before<br />the harvest are decisive for the quality.<br />Whites and reds were able to ripen perfectly and were harvested at the optimal time. That is why the harvest took longer than ever before. The first grapes entered the<br />cellar on 21 August, the last on 24 October. All in all, it should be a very good vintage. The red wines promise to be the best of the last ten years.<br /><br />Vinification: gentle pressing of the delicate grapes. Fermentation of the unclarified must in 500 l tonnequx, further 15 months of maturation in the same barrel. Bottled in<br />March 2009<br /><br />Harvest conditions: a sunny and warm late autumn allowed the grapes to hang until mid-November, thus enabling the harvest of a very ripe grape.<br /><br />Site/soil: Höfl unterm Stein in Söll near Tramin, situated on a south-eastern slope at 480 to 550 metres above sea level. On gravelly, loamy calcareous gravel soil, there are<br />both 30-year-old pergola plants and wire frames that are over 10 years old, which produce something unique with an extremely low yield of 25hl/ha.<br /><br />Oenologist's notes: an enormously concentrated late harvest with intense aromas of sultanas, apricots and spices. Very smooth and long on the palate. Mineral components<br />can be found in the finish.<br /><br />Variety list: 100% Gewürztraminer<br />Alcohol: 13.5% vol.<br />Acidity: 6.8g/l<br />Residual sugar: 140g/l<br />

Ronchedone 2022 Ca dei...
<br />Ronchedone Red Wine<br /><br />In the area where the first morainic hills rise, red wines of considerable thickness and power are also obtained and Ronchedone is the absolute demonstration of this.<br />Strongly desired from the moment it was felt that certain areas and certain microclimates were suitable for obtaining a wine like this. Marzemino, Sangiovese and 10%<br />Cabernet make it a wine that cannot go unnoticed. The nose is very rich with notes of red fruits, macerated blueberries, morello cherries in alcohol, balsamic and jammy<br />hints. On the palate it is powerful and incisive, clean, savoury, with a fine acidity, a sign of the Benaco soil. Ideal with red meats with medium and long cooking, game birds<br />and fur, mature cheeses, rich pasta dishes and soups with meat.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Marzemino, Sangiovese and Cabernet 10%.<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey, silty and sandy<br />Training system: simple Guyot and spurred cordon<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 80 quintals<br />Type of vinification: maceration in steel vats with prolonged contact<br />Malolactic fermentation: carried out<br />Refinement and evolution: in barrique for 14 months, followed by 10 months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 14.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.0 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.42 g/L<br />pH: 3.60<br />Dry extract: 36 g/L<br />

Rosso di Montalcino 2024...
Campo ai Sassi<br />Rosso di Montalcino DOC<br />Campo ai Sassi Rosso di Montalcino presents the typical characteristics of Sangiovese grown in this area, in a youthfully disengaged version. The deep soils on which<br />these vineyards are cultivated contribute to perfumed and elegant wines with a light and delicate tannic texture.<br /><br /><br />Technical notes<br />Varietal: Sangiovese<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br />Maturation: in oak barrels<br />Vinification and maturation<br />Once harvested, the Sangiovese grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During this phase, cap breaking was of fundamental importance,<br />allowing perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances. Subsequently, the wine spent a period of maturation in the cellar, part of it in wood. Further time in bottle<br />completed its qualitative course before release for consumption.<br />
