A wine that has acquired an increasingly well-defined identity over the years and that in 2019, also on the strength of a spectacular harvest and the confirmation of the addition of Cabernet Franc in the blend, undoubtedly marks its territorial connotation. It is the purest expression of the Val di Cornia terroir and its specific agronomic identity, which brings two different micro-terroirs into the glass: calcareous soils, rich in iron, sodium and magnesium on the one hand, and micro-elements, combined with the deep clay layer, on the other.
The 2021 Vino Rosso N Contrada Valle is dark and rich in the glass, with a balsamic flourish that gives way to mentholated herbs and dried black cherries. This is soft and soothing on the palate with ripe wild berry fruits and zesty citrus tones under an air of violet inner florals. It leaves a staining of red plum and spice, tapering off lightly tannic and with a bitter tinge that puckers the cheeks. This varietal Nero d'Avola reveals unexpected depths and complexity.
The key grape variety of this world-renowned wine region is Montepulciano. It is important to note that this variety is entirely unrelated to the town of Montepulciano in Tuscany, despite sharing a name. Along with this, 15% of Sangiovese is allowed to be blended into the wine.
The roots of Pajaru estate are deeply embedded in the history and symbols of Puglia. The shepherd, known as the “Picuraru” in dialect, embodies that seasonal toil typical of the slow work required to produce a great wine. It is from the tenacity and perseverance that the shepherds have in tackling their work that we were inspired by the creation of the Primitivo “PICURARU”.
A creamy white foam with persistent tiny bubbles. Bright rose color with ruby red reflections. Delicate aromas of red berries and cotton candy. Lusciously sweet with a primary red fruit flavors yet refreshing with a lingering finish.
CastelGiocondo 2017 has an intense, bright ruby-red color. Like every vintage, 2017 brought with it a wonderfully elegant quality. The bouquet features fruity aromas, particularly at the beginning, with notes of raspberry, blackcurrant and even pomegranate.
Castello di Brolio is our flagship wine created from a meticulous selection of estate-grown grapes from the three most representative soils that surround the castle itself: Macigno del Chianti (sandstone), Scaglia Toscana (Galestro), Monte Morello (Alberese).
The Altero was made from a selection of the best wine in the cellar. Aged for 30 months in French oak tonneaux (500 l), followed by 18 months of bottle refinement, the vintage is definitely cellar worthy. Juicy red currants, cherries, and sprigs of fresh rosemary are robed in vanilla and baking spice with just a wisp of smoke. Best with BBQ or lightly smoked meats and cheeses.
The 2019 Barolo Ravera di Monforte is a powerful, searing wine. Red cherry fruit, leather, cedar, mint, iron, white pepper and dried flowers build in a mid-weight, tannic Barolo that is going to need time to be at its best. There is good tension and energy, but my impression is that the 2019 is recovering from its bottling, as it is very tight and sinewy in feel today.
Tenute Capaldo is a boutique estate who produces only two single-vineyard wines: Goleto and Gulielmus. They are effectively the reference points for Campanian Greco di Tufo and Campanian Taurasi (Aglianico). This is a passion project of Antonio Capaldo, the owner of Feudi di San Gregorio, one of the largest and most respected wineries in Southern Italy.
Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019 is a stunning wine that captures the essence of Tuscany's most famous red grape variety. With its brilliant ruby red color and garnet tinges as it ages, this wine is a feast for the senses.
The White Scandal is born from a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pecorino grapes. The decision to combine two internationally renowned grape varieties with an indigenous Abruzzo grape caused a scandal within the local winemaking community. That scandal for Dominio Imperfetto is a source of pride.
“Le Difese” represents the entry level of the winery, but in reality it has nothing at all about entry and instead what it offers to the glass is of a notable level . Awarded by all the international publications in the sector, it is a true thoroughbred wine, as per the company philosophy. Blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, it expresses the class and finesse of a Bordeaux, with an entirely Italian soul. Characteristic for its good structure and its extreme softness, which make it extremely pleasant and drinkable. And accessible!
For six generations, Massimo Benevelli’s family has farmed the steep hillsides in southeastern Barolo. Massimo, now forty-one, has worked among its vines since he was fourteen, and he knows exactly how to translate this distinctive terroir, which produces wines with the structure and concentration that epitomize great Barolo from Monforte. None of the soul has been buffed out, but notes of black cherries, forest floor, and blood orange emerge even more polished than usual. Truly phenomenal.
Ruby red of great brilliance with a slight shimmer of pomegranate on the surface. First impression in the nose: rich in fruity notes of Amarena cherries, sour cherries and black currants, followed by elegant herbal nuances and fried pepper as well as coffee, vanilla bean and pink pepper.
