Chateau Croix Mouton 750ml...

2018 CHATEAU CROIX MOUTON 'BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR'<br />THE YEAR.<br />The M printed on the label of this fine-tasting and fleshy Bordeaux Supérieur wine marks the personality and particularities of each vintage and changes colour every year.<br />This cuvée from Château Croix Mouton, which dominates the Dordogne, is made exclusively from Merlot, the emblematic grape variety of the right bank of the Garonne, and<br />has a deep ruby red colour with beautiful shiny reflections. On the palate, small, acidic red fruits (mainly red plum, cherry) follow one another. On the palate it is full-bodied<br />and juicy, full of charming finesse. This wine is best appreciated when young, when its fruity bouquet shows all its vivacity.<br />THE CHÂTEAU CROIX MOUTON ESTATE<br />Château Croix Mouton is located in the town of Lugon on the right bank of the Bordeaux River and covers almost 70 hectares of vines. It is owned by the Janoueix family and<br />thrives on the clayey soil of Carney Island.

Masseto 2019 IGT Toscana 750ml

Masseto 2019 IGT Toscana 750ml

2016<br />As is often the case in recent years, the winter of 2016 was characterised by unusually warm weather with heavy rainfall in February. Budding arrived on time in the last<br />week of March. The abundance of water in the soil and the warm weather in April favoured rapid and normal vegetative growth of the vines. In May, temperatures returned to<br />normal, slowing growth slightly and leading to flowering in the last week of May in dry, sunny weather, perfect for good fruit set. Summer temperatures were normal with very<br />little rain causing considerable water stress towards the end of the ripening phase. The usual mid-August storms were also absent, prolonging the water stress throughout<br />the early part of the harvest. Fortunately, the remarkably cool temperatures during the night allowed the vines to recover from the heat of the day. Maturation proceeded<br />smoothly with excellent phenolic potential and a balanced sugar/acid ratio. The harvest began on 24 August with the youngest vines. In September, the few rainfalls provided<br />the soil with sufficient water to complete the harvest in practically perfect conditions. The older vines of the 'Masseto centrale' benefited from this situation, continuing their<br />ripening until the third week of September. The last plots were harvested on 20 September.<br />TASTING NOTES: 2016 was a textbook year for Masseto, with a typically Tuscan coastal climate that saw a dry and sunny growing season, with plenty of sunshine and<br />just the right amount of rain for perfect ripeness. The 2016 has a particularly intense young colour, and on the nose the intense aroma of ripe dark fruit blends with subtle<br />notes of cocoa and spices. On the palate, the rich, dense structure of ripe, silky tannins is balanced by a sensual, vibrant fruit note and lively acidity that keeps the long<br />finish clean and full-bodied.<br />

Pomino Benefizio Riserva...

Pomino Benefizio Riserva...

Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC<br /><br />'On the road to Pomino I am thrilled every time I discover this unique corner of Tuscany: hills and cypresses suddenly give way to steep slopes, cooler temperatures in<br />summer and snow in winter, magnificent forests of firs and centuries-old sequoias surrounding the vineyards of Chardonnay, planted here since 1855. At an altitude of 700<br />metres, the Cru Benefizio, the first white wine in Italy fermented and aged in barriques, was born in 1973.'<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the<br />beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the<br />beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild<br />temperatures and low humidity.<br /><br />Vinification and ripening<br />The Benefizio vineyard is located at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, with a southern exposure and predominantly sandy soil. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested in<br />boxes by hand with extreme care and attention. Once they arrived in the cellar, the pressing they underwent was extremely soft and gentle, allowing a good extraction of<br />clear must, which was further clarified after cold decantation. The musts thus obtained were placed in barriques, 50% new and 50% first-passage, where they underwent<br />alcoholic fermentation and only partially malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine matured in wood, on the lees, with bâtonnage carried out as required. After further<br />bottle ageing, Benefizio Riserva reached its maximum taste-olfactory expression in terms of elegance and harmony.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Elegance, expressiveness and body. Benefizio 2021 presents a wonderful straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet is varied, presenting hints of white fruit<br />such as pear, exotic fruit notes such as mango, banana and pineapple and more citrus notes of candied citron. The citrus sensation is also picked up by hints of orange<br />blossom. On the palate it is savoury and mineral, with an elegant and harmonious finish; the aromatic intensity perceived on the palate is amplified by the alcohol content<br />and the aftertaste of dried fruit. Persistent and long finish.<br />

Nobile di Montepulciano...

Nobile di Montepulciano...

Calimaia Estate 2020<br /><br />Located in a historic area for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and considered one of the most vocated, Calimaia lies on the gentle hills between the Val di<br />Chiana and Val d'Orcia. The vineyards, arranged around the winery's hillside, enjoy an altitude of 300 metres above sea level and are diversified in terms of exposure and soil<br />type, thus allowing each vine cultivated to be enhanced.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2020 season began with rather limited rainfall during the winter months, after the water reserves were restored in the last months of 2019. The water reserves generated<br />during this period made it possible to cope with the higher temperatures of the summer period from June to August. The vines started their budding in the last days of March.<br />The beginning of flowering occurred in the second fortnight of May with then a regular course favoured by an ideal climate with warm, dry and slightly windy days. The<br />absence of rain even during the harvesting period meant that perfectly ripe, healthy and structured grapes were brought to the cellar. The phenolic and sugar content were<br />perfect. Definitely a very favourable vintage.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Variety: 90% Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, and 10% complementary red grape varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 14.5%.<br />Maturation: 24 months in oak casks<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (max. 26°C) and fermentation took place spontaneously. Maceration on<br />the skins allowed perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances, aided by frequent pumping over in the initial stages of fermentation, interrupted by a 'delestage' in the<br />intermediate phase, and then resumed in the final phase. Malolactic fermentation was completed in steel before the winter. Maturation in 50 hL oak casks continued as<br />usual for 24 months. Prior to release, Calimaia was bottle-aged in our cellar for the next 4 months.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2020 shows an intense ruby red colour to the eye. The nose offers clear notes of red fruits: cherry and sour cherry in the<br />beginning, followed by intense notes of aromatic herbs and spices, including sage, cardamom and pink pepper. On the olfactory finish, dark chocolate is joined by hints of<br />liquorice. In the mouth, it starts with its generous body, voluminous and fresh at the same time. The tannic texture is dense and free of harshness. The taste-olfactory<br />correspondence is remarkable and the intense aromatic persistence very long.<br />
