As soon as the<br />grapes are picked, using small cases, they are graded and chilled. Each bunch is selected by expert cellar staff before being transported over the maceration vat.<br />Destemming causes the berries to fall into the vat from above by gravity. This avoids the traditional pumping systems that would produce unwanted herbaceous aromas. At<br />the 2008 harvest, alcoholic fermentation and maceration took 22 days, with careful monitoring of temperature and punch-downs. Pump-overs were performed daily using a<br />pair of lift tanks in which the wine, drawn off from the bottom of the vat, is transferred by gravity. The wine is lifted by the flying tanks and poured into the high-capacity vat to<br />submerge the cap. There is no more natural or effective way of delicately extracting colour and tannins. The still-warm wines are drawn into small oak casks, 60% of which<br />are new, from selected wood seasoned for at least three years. Only in midwinter, when malolactic fermentation is complete, is the wine racked and the various lots<br />blended. This is how we make Maurizio Zanella, which continues to mature in wood for about 14 months. Later, the various parcels are blended and the wine is bottled<br />naturally by gravity flow. Innovative bottling systems ensure that the wine is not subjected to oxidative stress or disturbance, and that no further sulphites are added. Integrity<br />and healthfulness are guaranteed. Finally, every bottle is given an individual marking to ensure its traceability.<br /><br />Bottling<br />14 April 2010.<br /><br />Bottle ageing<br />Three years and eight months.<br /><br />Data at bottling<br />Alcohol 13.5% Vol.; pH 3.53; Total Acidity 4.60 grams/litre; Volatile Acidity 0.41 grams/litre.<br /><br />Sulphites<br />Total Sulphur Dioxide less than 40 milligrams/litre (maximum legal limit: 150 milligrams/litre).<br />

CHIANTI CLASSICO GRAN SELEZIONE DOCG<br />RISERVA DUCALE ORO<br /><br />AromaAn incensed nuance introduces pencil, wood and graphite, bitterness in alcohol well integrated with fruit and green vegetable notes before an inky finish.TasteA<br />precise attack for a sip well integrated with important tannins, well polished, fruit spirit, a little spice for a soft and intense overall. Structure and acidity that lead to a very<br />persistent finish.<br />Notes A glass of great classic Tuscan style, ample breath and crystalline class in harmony with a satisfying softness.Pairings The great meat dishes of Italian<br />cuisine.Winemaker's notesThis important wine is produced in the best years, when the grapes are vinified separately, parcel by parcel. In this way, we obtain a strict<br />respect for the territorial typicality and the pedoclimatic variety. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in steel vats at 27° with constant punching<br />down for about 10 days, followed by post-fermentation maceration on the skins for another 10 days. The malolactic transformation takes place in cold tanks. HistoryRiserva<br />Ducale was born in 1927, to pay homage to the Duke of Aosta who had reserved his preferences for this wine. Twenty years later, with the first edition of the Riserva Ducale<br />Oro, Ruffino celebrated an extraordinary thousandth anniversary in 1947. The strict decision to produce Riserva Ducale Oro only in exceptional vintages allows this wine to<br />age for a long time.Production areaTuscany.<br />TECHNICAL NOTES<br />GRAPE VARIETY &gt;=80% Sangiovese + other Chianti Classico vines (Ampelographic Base - Chianti Classico Regulations Art 2).<br />VINEYARDS Tenute Gretole, Santedame and Montemasso.<br />AGING12 months in cement, 12 months in large casks of Slavonian oak, 12 months in barrique disecondo passage, 3 months in bottle.<br /><br />DID YOU KNOW?

Chianti Classico<br />D.O.C.G.<br />The colour is a pale red, transparent and crystalline. Intense notes of violet, green pepper and raspberry emerge on the nose. The strong minerality on the palate combines<br />perfectly with the freshness given by a predominantly calcareous, stony land rich in marl. The long persistence denotes an important body and structure, for the<br />pleasantness to drink and for the stimulus to the palate without tiring it, also given by the silky and soft tannins that enhance its elegance.<br /><br />Extension:<br />200 Ha, Certified Organic Farming<br /><br />Vineyards:<br />12 Ha (10 ha registered to Chianti Classico docg)<br /><br />Grapes:<br />95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo<br /><br />Alcohol Vol:<br />13,5°<br />

<br />Pietro Dal Cero<br />Amarone della Valpolicella Docg<br /><br />There was a time when the Dal Cero family were Veronese.<br /><br />Today Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria return to the eastern lands of Verona, the birthplace of their father Pietro, to whom this bottle is dedicated, to reaffirm their history<br />and savour the wind of those places.<br />They do so with a wine that is emblematic of Veronese wine production in the world, Amarone. The ruby colour is captivating for its timbre and intensity. The fruit is<br />exuberant with a pleasant black cherry that blends with notes of chocolate and sweet spices.<br />The finesse elevates the floral component and the purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge more and more convincingly, with hints of star anise and wild mint.<br />The tertiary elements are subtle and allow one to perceive pleasant notes of arabica and light tobacco. On the table it finds its maximum expression with mature cheeses,<br />long cooked meats, braised meats and game.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina<br />Soil composition: calcareous, white flakes and clay<br />Training system: Simple Guyot<br />Planting scheme: 2,20 x 0,70<br />Yield per hectare: 60 quintals<br />Type of vinification: raisining in boxes for 4 months, maceration in steel with prolonged contact<br />Malolactic fermentation: carried out<br />Ageing and development: in barrique for 24 months, followed by 12 months in steel and 24 months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 17%.<br />Total acidity: 7.5 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.80 g/L<br />pH: 3.60<br />Dry extract: 40 g/L<br />
