AMA 2016<br />Chianti Classico DOCG<br /><br />With the 2010 vintage and the birth of the Gran Selezione in Chianti Classico, AMA was born almost entirely from Sangiovese grapes.This wine is produced from vines<br />cultivated at a high density (5,200 plants/ha), with grapes harvested entirely by hand in young vines of an average age of 10-12 years.<br /><br />CLIMATE: The winter was mild and rainy. In April we had a rapid rise in temperature, while May and June were unstable. Finally, in July, summer arrived, characterised by<br />large temperature differences between day and night, which favoured the development of aromas and flavours. Despite the hailstorm at the end of August, the grapes were<br />healthy. After numerous samplings and organoleptic analyses in the vineyard and in the laboratory, the grapes were harvested by hand in 10-12 kg crates on 26 September<br />for the Merlot and on 3-4 October for the Sangiovese. The harvest was full of expectations, which were not betrayed.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: The vinification was induced by indigenous yeasts and separated by variety in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 30/32°, with manual pumping<br />over and a total stay (cuvaison) of 26 days for the Sangiovese and 26 days for the Merlot. After racking, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in steel tanks.<br /><br />AGING: At the end of malolactic fermentation, the two varieties were blended. The wine was then put into fine-grained oak barriques, without the use of new wood, and<br />bottled in January.<br /><br />TECHNICAL DATA OF THE WINE<br />First vintage produced: 2010<br />Grapes: 96% Sangiovese, 4% Merlot<br />Alcohol content: 13%.<br />Total acidity: 5, 2 g/l<br />Residual sugars: &lt;1 g/l<br />Extract: 29,3 m/l<br /><br />Colour: ruby red with vermillion reflections<br />Bouquet: fruity, cherry, raspberry and fresh red fruit<br />Taste: elegant and harmonious with spicy and well-proportioned notes at first impact<br />

Arte<br />LANGHE ROSSO<br />D.O.C.<br /><br />Since 1981 Arte has symbolised our desire to experiment; the curiosity to seek out new and unexplored paths, without ever forgetting where we come from.<br />This is how Arte was born, from the balance between two such different but complementary varieties. Structure and character from Nebbiolo, softness and<br />and elegance from Barbera.<br /><br />First vintage produced: 1981<br />Grape varieties: Nebbiolo 90% + Barbera 10%.<br /><br />Vinification: Nebbiolo and Barbera are vinified separately to obtain the maximum expression of both varieties. Aged in French barriques for 12 months, then blended before<br />bottling.<br />

Il Bruciato 2019<br />Classification DOC<br />Vintage 2019<br />Climate: The 2019 vintage was marked by a generally cold period between April and May and by generally warm and dry weather until July. The initial slight delay in the<br />vegetative cycle was recovered from the summer onwards. The sudden rise in temperature, especially for the later varieties where fruit set had not yet been completed,<br />favoured a production characterised by light, sparse bunches. The stable and sunny weather in August and September enabled the grapes to complete their ripening in<br />optimum conditions. The harvest began with Merlot at the beginning of September and ended with Cabernet Sauvignon at the beginning of October. The other varieties were<br />also harvested in mid to late September: Syrah and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.<br />Vinification: On arrival at the winery, the selected grapes were destemmed and softly crushed. Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless<br />steel tanks for a period of about 10-15 days at a temperature of 28-30 °C. Some of the Merlot and Syrah must was kept at lower fermentation temperatures to preserve the<br />varietal aromas. Malolactic fermentation took place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks, and was completed by the end of the year for all varieties. The<br />Cabernet Sauvignon was then blended with Merlot, Syrah, and small quantities of Cabernet France Petit Verdot. The wine thus obtained was returned to the barrique, where<br />it rested before being bottled.<br />Historical data: Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small, prestigious DOC area of Bolgheri, on the coast of the Alta Maremma, about a hundred kilometres south-west<br />of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was founded in 1994) but boasts international fame as a new point of reference in the world wine scene.Tenuta<br />Guado al Tasso covers an area of 1,000 hectares - about 320 planted with vines, the rest with wheat, sunflowers and olive trees - in a splendid plain surrounded by hills<br />known as the 'Bolgheri amphitheatre' for its particular conformation. The vineyards of Guado al Tasso are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet<br />Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino grapes. They enjoy a mild climate due to the proximity of the sea: the constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the rigours of<br />winter, clean the sky and keep the sunshine index high. Il Bruciato was born in 2002, during one of the most difficult harvests of Tenuta Guado al Tasso, to tell the story of<br />the unique terroir of Bolgheri in a modern style. Initially, the grape used was that of Guado al Tasso, but over the years the varietal composition has changed and there is<br />now a dedicated rose of varieties. The Bruciato was not produced in 2003.<br />Tasting Notes: The 2019 Bruciato shows its usual intense ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by notes of small, intact black fruits, sweet spices and tobacco. The<br />palate has good structure, harmony and pleasantness of drinking. In the aftertaste, fresh and fruity notes predominate, giving the wine succulence and sweetness.<br />

Sossó<br />DESCRIPTION<br /><br />Born in 1989, it takes its name from the small brook 'Sossó' that rises at the foot of the hill where the grapes come from. The result of a careful selection of Merlot and<br />Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes - with a small amount of Pignolo - from the oldest vineyards in Rosazzo, it is the result of meticulous vinification and ageing in small<br />barrels for eighteen months. A wine of great complexity and structure, it stands out for its elegant, ripe, fruity and sweet tannins.<br /><br />TECHNICAL DATA SHEET<br />Grape variety: Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso - Merlot - Pignolo<br />Denomination: D.O.C. Friuli Colli Orientali<br />Designation: Rosazzo Rosso<br />Soil type: Flysch of marls and sandstones of Eocene origin<br />Grape varieties: Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso - Merlot - Pignolo<br />Training system: Guyot<br />Methods of defence: Integrated pest control with controlled environmental impact.<br />Harvest time: Merlot: end of September; Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and Pignolo: beginning of October<br />Harvesting method: Manual in small crates<br />Vinification: The grapes are gently destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place with maceration at controlled temperature, in stainless steel containers and conical<br />vats. Frequent pumping over is carried out for a period of about three weeks in order to extract colour and aroma from the skins. Racking is then carried out.<br />Ageing: The wines are blended and racked into small French oak barrels where they mature for eighteen months. The bottled wine is aged in temperature-controlled rooms<br />for a further eighteen months.<br />Sensory notes:<br />Colour: deep and impenetrable ruby red with purple reflections.<br /><br />Bouquet: of considerable impact and penetration, with sweet notes of ripe fruit - primarily plum, blueberry and blackberry - and further complexity in the development with<br />hints of violet, sage and rosemary, slight but perfectly integrated suggestions of vanilla and cloves; very long and persistent, complete and complex<br /><br />Taste: very important structure immediately noticeable, solid and dense but at the same time smooth and sensual; the velvety tannins and sweet flavours are refreshed and<br />given additional impetus and length by the savoury acidity; rich and mineral finish<br /><br />Pairings: Red meats, roasts, feathered game, medium to full-flavoured cheeses.<br />Serving temperature: 17 - 18 °C<br />Alcohol (% vol): 13,50<br />
