Castello del Terriccio 2016...

CASTELLO DEL TERRICCIO 2016<br /><br />Denomination: I.G.T. Rosso Toscana (Castello del Terriccio)<br />Producer: Castello del Terriccio<br />First vintage: 2000<br />Grapes: Syrah, Petit Verdot<br />Analytical Data: 14% Vol.<br />Soil type: The soils are rich in iron minerals with the presence of stones and fossils. The perfect slope towards the Mediterranean sea, a unique reflection of the sun, a<br />gentle coastal breeze and plenty of sunlight promote a unique and exclusive ripening.<br /><br />Training system: Spurred Cordon<br />Planting density: 3,600 vines/Ha. for old vineyards; 5,600 vines/Ha. for new vineyards<br />Climatic trend: 2016 was certainly one of the most regular vintages of the last decade. Rainfall met the vines' needs punctually: abundant in March, regular in May and June,<br />important at the end of July and, finally, a warm and sunny August and mid-September. Temperatures were optimal: a mild end to the winter that had caused concern was<br />then regularised by a tenably cool spring that slowed down the development of the bunches, which then benefited from the hot but not torrid summer, with significant<br />temperature swings. Cluster growth was regular and optimal, production was good and ripening was perfect.<br /><br />Harvest period: Harvesting was strictly by hand and took place for the Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes from mid-September. After an initial selection in the vineyard when<br />harvested by hand, the grapes are carefully selected a second time on arrival at the winery on the sorting table.<br /><br />Winemaking notes: After manual selection on the sorting table, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed, taking care not to break the skin of the berries. Alcoholic<br />fermentation takes place in stainless steel open-cap fermenters at a controlled temperature, with maceration of the grapes, for about 20 days. Daily dèlestages allowed the<br />extraction of the aromatic bouquet and the right balance<br />tannicity, with important structure that will allow long ageing.<br /><br />Ageing: The wine is aged in first and second passage French oak Tonneaux for a period of about 22 months and then blended and bottled.<br />

Vecchie Viti NIPOZZANO 2019...

Vecchie Viti NIPOZZANO 2019...

Castello Nipozzano<br />Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2019<br /><br />Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG<br /><br />This wine, chosen by the Frescobaldi family to continue the tradition of reserving a Private Collection for its newborns, originates from the oldest vines of Castello Nipozzano,<br />endowed with a deep root system. Of great complexity and harmony, it is aged for 24 months in oak barrels in the ancient Tuscan tradition.<br /><br />Climatic trend: at Castello Nipozzano, winter 2019 was characterised by long periods of sunshine with low temperatures. Spring, on the other hand, was cool; the rains that<br />fell ensured good water reserves to face the hot summer days. The summer period was characterised by temperature fluctuations that helped to provide coolness during the<br />night, with the usual breezes from the slopes of the Apennines contributing in particular. The grapes were therefore accompanied to maturity by a combination of the warmth<br />of the sun and refreshing breezes; the bunches arrived at the harvest in perfect condition and the production expressed itself with wines typical of the area, marked by a<br />good<br />acid vein and silky tannins.<br /><br />Technical notes:<br />Varieties: Sangiovese and traditional complementary varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br />Maturation: 24 months in barrels<br /><br />Vinification and maturation: The grapes of Sangiovese and traditional complementary varieties, as soon as they were harvested, were immediately delivered<br />in the winery. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in cement tanks. At the end of this, the wine remained in the vats to complete<br />maceration. Its journey continued in wooden barrels, where the wine remained to mature for the necessary time. The subsequent period in the bottle allowed for greater<br />balance of all the components, giving the possibility of fully appreciating its essence once the bottle was opened.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Vecchie Viti 2019 has a wonderful intense ruby red colour. On the nose one recognises floral hints of violet that are accompanied by more fruity notes of<br />black cherry, plum, blueberry and blackberry. Notes of pepper and cinnamon are also interesting along with hints of walnut and walnut husk. This is rounded off by the<br />wonderful and typical balsamicity accompanied by an elegant toastiness. On the palate, the acid-alcohol balance is impressive, the tannins are velvety.<br />The minerality perceived on the finish is also extraordinary. Good persistence.<br />

La Vite Lucente 750ml...

LUCENTE 2019<br /><br />Cold and sunny winter, the spring was characterised by low average temperatures and high rainfall, which allowed the creation of important water reserves in the soil. This<br />situation of low light and rainfall resulted in a slight delay in the vine's vegetative cycle. Flowering took place between the last days of May and the beginning of June. The<br />season then continued regularly, with a hot summer, without any particular temperature peaks, with some rainfall between the end of July and the beginning of August.<br />The mild September temperatures and good water reserves favoured a slow and regular ripening.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: The wine is an intense purplish red colour. The nose is characterised by notes of ripe red fruit, raspberries and sour cherries are joined by sensations of<br />vanilla and a light balsamic hint. On the palate the attack is soft, balanced, well supported by a pleasant freshness and smooth tannins, characteristics that together with<br />the sweet aftertaste give the wine length and persistence.<br /><br />Grapes: Merlot, Sangiovese<br />Harvest period: Merlot: 12 September, Sangiovese: 23 September<br />Sugar at harvest: Merlot: 252 g/l; Sangiovese 250 g/l<br />Total acidity at harvest: Merlot: 6.50 g/l; Sangiovese 7.05 g/l (in tartaric acid)<br />Fermentation tanks: stainless steel thermo-conditioned<br />Fermentation temperature: 28°C<br />Type of ageing container: partly new, partly used barriques<br />Length of ageing: 12 months<br />Analytical Data<br />Alcohol: 14.5% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.56 g/l<br />PH: 3,49<br />

Luce 750ml Tenuta Luce...

LUCE 2019<br /><br />The 2019 vintage was late and balanced. After a cold and sunny winter, the spring was characterised by low average temperatures and high rainfall, which allowed the<br />creation of important water reserves in the soil. This situation of low light and rainfall, mainly concentrated in the month of May, resulted in a slight delay of 10 days in the<br />vine's vegetative cycle. Flowering was evenly completed in the first week of June. The season then continued with a hot summer, without any particular heat peaks, with<br />some rainfall between the end of July and the beginning of August, which ensured a vigorous and efficient leaf apparatus. The mild temperatures in September and a good<br />level of hydration of the soils favoured a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, resulting in perfectly ripe tannins with high aromatic intensity and freshness. The harvest<br />began in sunny weather on 12 September with the first Merlot grapes, and continued with the Sangiovese in late September and early October. The wines are structured,<br />showing balance, power and great ageing potential.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: Luce 2019 shows an intense ruby red colour. The nose impresses with floral hints of violets and roses, accompanied by red fruits of raspberries and sweet<br />spices. In the mouth it is balanced and elegant, with an almost creamy texture, supported by silky, well-integrated tannins. The persistent finish lingers on spicy notes.<br /><br />Grapes: Merlot, Sangiovese<br /><br />Analytical Data:<br />Alcohol: 14.40% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.03 g/l<br />PH: 3,49<br />

IGT Il Blu Brancaia 2018 750ml

IGT Il Blu Brancaia 2018 750ml

Description: Since its debut in 1988, IL BLU has been the result of our constant search for perfection. Made from only the best hand-picked and selected grapes from our<br />two Chianti estates, with fine tannins and a soft, full finish, this wine is distinguished by its complexity and elegance. Today, thanks to the ever-improving complexity of our<br />Merlot grapes, especially from our vineyards in Radda in Chianti, it is a blend of 80% Merlot and 10% each of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each individual variety is<br />aged separately in barriques, two-thirds new, for 18 months. Then, once assembled, the final blend matures in unglazed cement vats for 3 months. In this way the wine<br />becomes more balanced, the tannins and aromas are better integrated even before the one-year bottle ageing. We continue to work constantly to improve this wine, while<br />taking great care to preserve its identity. The character and style of IL BLU have been marked by continuity over all these years: something we intend to carry on for the next<br />30 years.<br /><br />Appellation: IGT Rosso Toscana<br /><br />Grape varieties 80% Merlot 10% Sangiovese 10% Cabernet Sauvignon<br /><br />Vineyards and terroir: vineyards Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti<br /><br />Altitude and exposure: 230 - 400 m a.s.l.; S-SO exp.<br /><br />Soil Castellina in Chianti: clayey; Radda in Chianti: medium-textured, rich in stones<br /><br />Climate and microclimate Continental climate, with cold winters (temperatures below 0° C) and very hot summers.<br />Vinification and refinement: Harvest 08.09.18 - 04.10.18<br /><br />Analytical Data<br />Alcohol content: 14,5%; total acidity: 5,80%.<br />Fermentation temperature 28°.<br />Skin contact Up to 18 days<br />Maturation in barrels 18 months, 2/3 in new French oak barrels, 1/3 in second passage French oak barrels, further 3 months in cement tanks<br />Bottle ageing At least 12 months<br />First vintage produced 1988<br />Evolutionary potential Up to 25 years<br /><br />Aromas of currants, violets and cocoa.

The winter season passed with mild temperatures and low rainfall. These<br />conditions led to an early spring. From the second week of April, the weather changed dramatically and until mid-May, rain was the protagonist with temperatures below<br />average. These weather conditions compromised the flowering and were the cause of spinning of the wings of the bunches and floral dripping, resulting in smaller, more<br />sparse bunches with very low average weights. After 15 May we saw a clear improvement in the weather conditions which allowed us to set fruit in favourable conditions.<br />Above-average temperatures characterised the month of June, which can be described as the driest in the last 20 years. The dry weather continued until mid-July with the<br />vines beginning to show symptoms of water stress. The beginning of August brought us the much-desired rain, effectively saving the season.<br />From 20 August, with the start of the harvest, temperatures returned to normal and the fine weather accompanied us until the end of the season.<br />and good weather accompanied us until the end of August. The harvest began on 20 August and ended on 5 September in good weather. Average yield per hectare was<br />4,800 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,020 litres of wine (wine yield: 63%). The small size of the bunches and the low yields in the vineyard have legitimised the high<br />quality of this vintage, which is expressed in the Cuvée Prestige Edition 44 by an intense aroma of citrus, white and yellow fruits and by a full-bodied, extremely lively taste.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and a skilful vinification process conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method.<br />The grapes, harvested by hand in small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from the exclusive 'berry<br />spa': a special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches consisting of three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the<br />musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Seven months of refinement are then necessary for the<br />wine to clarify, mature and bring out the best of the character of the original vineyards. The wines are then skilfully blended in the 'magic ritual' of creating the cuvée. It is<br />only after a minimum of two years of ageing on the lees that this Franciacorta can express all its richness and identity. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of<br />oxygen, using a unique system designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta wines<br />purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.<br /><br />DRILLING<br />From April to June of the year following the harvest.<br /><br />AVERAGE AGEING ON THE LEES<br />On average 25 months.<br /><br />DOSAGE AT DISGORGING<br />Sugar content 1.0 grams/litre - 'Extra Brut'.<br /><br />ANALYTICAL DATA AT DISGORGEMENT<br />Alcohol 12.8% vol.; pH 3.11; Total acidity 5.80 grams/litre; Volatile acidity 0.32 grams/litre.<br /><br />SULPHITES<br />Total sulphur dioxide, maximum 55 milligrams/litre (maximum legal limit: 185 milligrams/litre), concentration specified on the back label.<br />
