The warmer soils with a predominance of sand are dedicated to Syrah.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />FIRST VINTAGE: 2003<br />WINEMAKER: HELENA LINDBERG<br />CONSULTANT: MICHEL ROLLAND<br />TASTING NOTES<br />Ruby red with purple highlights, the nose releases a complexity of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits and Mediterranean scrub to delicate notes of fresh tobacco and<br />spices. On the palate it is soft and silky, but at the same time supported by a vein of acidity that gives us a crisp and persistent finish.<br />

<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 />

PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA DOP<br />Sessantanni<br />Typology: Red<br />Grape variety: Primitivo<br />Denomination: Primitivo di Manduria DOP<br />Cultivation: Trees at least sixty years old<br />Planting density: 5,000 vines per hectare<br />Production area: Valle del Sessantanni, about 40 hectares between San Marzano and Sava (TA). The thermal values characterise a rather warm environment with very low<br />annual rainfall and very high temperature variations, which has a positive effect on the quality of the grapes. This is the classic growing area for Primitivo di Manduria PDO.<br />Soil: Red residual soil with a fine texture, calcareous substrate and sparse rock outcrops. The famous red hue of these soils is due to the high content of iron oxides.<br />Harvest: Mid-September<br />Vinification: Hand-picking of slightly overripe grapes; destemming and maceration, maceration at 8°C for 24-48 hours before fermentation. Thermally controlled maceration<br />and alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts for about 10 days at 24-26°C. Final bottling with soft presses.<br />Maturation: Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by 12 months in French and American oak barriques.<br />Organoleptic characteristics: Very deep and elegant ruby red colour; rich and complex bouquet, fruity with notes of plums, cherry jam with a slight spiciness and hints of<br />tobacco. A wine of great body, soft and rich in noble tannins, with a finish that offers notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla.<br />Pairings: Strong first courses, red meat and game.<br />Serve at: 18°C<br />

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 />

Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG<br /><br />An emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, a historic Frescobaldi estate a few kilometres north-east of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is the symbol of the Tuscan<br />winemaking tradition and the indissoluble bond with the terroir.<br /><br /><br />Technical notes<br />Variety: Sangiovese and complementary varieties<br />
