Matarocchio bolg. sup. doc...

Matarocchio bolg. sup. doc...

Matarocchio Bolgheri DOC Superiore 2016<br /><br />Climate: The 2016 vintage in the Matarocchio vineyard was characterised by a mild winter with sporadic but abundant rainfall which allowed excellent water reserves to<br />accumulate in the soil. The vegetative upswing took place slightly earlier than usual and then continued in a regular manner, accompanied by a spring with temperatures and<br />rainfall in the seasonal average. The tendency towards a sunny and dry summer favoured positive and slight stress on the vines, particularly towards the end of the ripening<br />phase. These climatic conditions, together with the cool night-time temperatures, enhanced the characteristics of the Cabernet Franc, giving the grapes a rich, silky tannic<br />texture and excellent aromatic potential. The grapes were harvested by hand between 20 and 27 September.<br /><br />Vinification: The grapes were harvested by hand and, after careful grain-by-grain sorting, soft pressing and cold pre-maceration were carried out, followed by the start of<br />alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then transferred into new French oak barriques, where malolactic fermentation was completed and it matured for 18 months. At the end<br />of maturation and after careful tasting, the best barriques were selected and blended to create Matarocchio. The wine then rested for the next 12 months in bottle before<br />release.<br /><br />Historical data: Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small and prestigious DOC of Bolgheri, on the coast of the Alta Maremma, about a hundred kilometres south-west<br />of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was established in 1995) but boasts international fame as a new point of reference on the world wine scene.<br />Tenuta Guado al Tasso covers an area of approximately 320 hectares planted with vineyards, in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the 'Bolgheri amphitheatre'<br />for its particular conformation. The vineyards of Guado al Tasso are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino<br />grapes. They enjoy a mild climate due to the nearby presence of the sea: the constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the rigours of winter, clean the sky and keep<br />the sunshine index high.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: Matarocchio 2016 shows great aromatic complexity, with notes of small dark fruits alternating with sensations of cocoa powder, exotic spices and roasted<br />coffee. On the palate it is enveloping, rich, with good tension and long persistence.<br />

Maggiarino Nobile...

Maggiarino Nobile...

Maggiarino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2015<br /><br />Climate: the mild winter season, characterised by frequent rainfall, preceded a spring with above average temperatures, favouring an early bud break of about 10 days. The<br />summer, which tended to be hot and dry without any heat peaks, guaranteed the slow and regular growth of the vines and an optimal start to the ripening of the grapes. The<br />Sangiovese grapes for Maggiarino were harvested by hand around the middle of October.<br /><br />Vinification: The best Sangiovese grapes, from a selection of vineyards on the Maggiarino estate, one of the most suitable areas for La Braccesca, underwent a vinification<br />process aimed at preserving the aromas and enhancing the structure. After about 20 days of maceration in stainless steel vats, the wine was transferred to tonneaux, where<br />malolactic fermentation took place and its ageing process began, lasting about 12 months. Following bottling in spring 2017, the wine rested in the bottle for about two years<br />before release.<br /><br />Historical data: La Braccesca extends over 508 hectares where the ancient farm of the Bracci counts once stood, hence the name of the estate and its coat of arms: an arm<br />covered in armour holding a sword. The total surface area of the vineyards is 340 hectares divided into two parts: the first, 366 hectares of which 237 are planted with vines,<br />is located on the border between the municipalities of Montepulciano and Cortona. The other body, 142 hectares, 103 of which are planted to vines, extends as far as<br />Montepulciano between three of the most renowned areas for the production of great red wines: Cervognano, Santa Pia and Gracciano.<br />Maggiarino comes from the vineyards of the farm of the same name, one of the most vocated areas of La Braccesca. A well-balanced wine capable of exalting the fragrant<br />varietal character through the silky tannins typical of the Nobile di Montepulciano territory, a historic Tuscan denomination.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Maggiarino has an intense ruby red colour. On the nose notes of violet, red fruit and vanilla compose a complex aromatic profile. On the palate it is soft,<br />balanced, silky and sustained by the excellent freshness typical of Sangiovese. Persistent and mineral on the finish.<br />

Pian delle Vigne 2015...

Pian delle Vigne 2015...

Pian delle Vigne 2015<br />Classification DOCG<br />Vintage 2015<br /><br />Climate: 2015 will be remembered as a great year in Montalcino. Winter and spring rainfall, capable of guaranteeing the accumulation of good water reserves in the soil,<br />alternated with sunny and breezy days that allowed a rapid and homogeneous growth of the grapes in May and June. A generally hot summer favoured the regular<br />development of the grapes. The tramontana wind and the warm weather in September allowed the grapes to ripen in an optimal manner. Harvesting began on 21 September<br />and ended on 7 October.<br /><br />Vinification: On arrival in the winery, the grapes were destemmed and softly crushed, then transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place.<br />Maceration lasted about fifteen days at a temperature of 28 °C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to oak casks of between 30 and 80 hl where it began<br />its maturation in wood. After more than two years, Pian delle Vigne left the large cask and began its long refinement in the bottle.<br /><br />Historical data: Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, located 6 km southwest of Montalcino, takes its name from the village of the same name, where there is a characteristic 19th<br />century railway station. The estate consists of 184 hectares, 65 of which are vineyards mainly exposed to the south-west at an altitude of about 130 metres above sea level.<br />Pian delle Vigne has always followed the philosophy of the large barrel, which preserves the extraordinary integrity of the Sangiovese fruit and gives Brunello its<br />characteristic vibrant elegance. The winery has been owned by the Antinor family since 1995, the year of the first harvest of Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Pian delle Vigne 2015 has an intense ruby red colour. The nose is complex, impactful, characterised by notes of ripe red fruit and violets accompanied by<br />sensations of dried flowers, cocoa powder, cherries under spirits and spices such as oregano and marjoram. On the palate it is elegant, rich and complex, with soft, supple<br />tannins. The freshness of certain sensations perceived on the nose can also be found on the palate.<br />

Champange Dom Pérignon...

Champange Dom Pérignon...

<br />2009: THE PINNACLE OF MATURITY<br /><br />2009 brings to a close in the best possible way a prodigious, sunny, bold and generous decade. This continuation of favourable weather conditions is unprecedented, and<br />the succession of vintages has allowed us to explore the new frontiers of grape maturity in Champagne. Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 is the result of two movements: one is<br />driven by nature and the other is the creative ambition of the Maison's Chef de Cave. This synergy allows us to taste the ripest and richest fruit, the grapes at their best, the<br />promise of a wine full of freshness and energy.<br /><br />NOSE<br />The notes of guava and spicy green grapefruit zest blend with those of stone fruit, white peach and nectarine. The wine breathes, complemented by notes of woody vanilla<br />and warm, delicately toasted brioche.<br /><br />PALATE<br />The fruit notes are majestic, ripe, fleshy and deep. Beyond the richness and a certain voluptuousness, it is the impression of coherence that dominates. The intensity is<br />extraordinarily restrained. All the sensations converge and persist, silky, saline and lymphatic, bitter and iodized.<br /><br />CULINARY PAIRINGS<br />The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 is a wine that needs stimulation. It requires a context and lends itself to being enhanced by strong contrasts.<br />The champagne evokes vegetable and mineral worlds, which manifest themselves, for example, through a carbonara with sea urchins and cardamom mousse. It works<br />perfectly with dishes with a particular texture: for example, octopus sautéed in butter marinated in Sicilian orange juice.<br />

Rosso di Montalcino 2015...

Rosso di Montalcino 2015...

ROSSO DI MONTALCINO<br /><br />Rosso di Montalcino offers the unique style of Casanova di Neri in a wine of structure and elegance but easy to drink and with a strong link to the territory. For us, Rosso di<br />Montalcino is a wine of primary importance. For its production we use grapes from dedicated vineyards that receive the same attention and care that we give to those<br />destined for the production of Brunello. The uniqueness of the terroir is reflected in that of the wine, which expresses all the passion for the land and the vineyard and the<br />meticulous work that is the result of a long multi-generational experience. The strong recognisability of this wine is also due to our mass selection of Sangiovese.<br /><br />DENOMINATION: Rosso di Montalcino DOC<br />GRAPEVINE: 100% Sangiovese<br />HARVEST: annual in the first week of September.<br />VINIFICATION: Manual selection of the bunches before destemming and selection of the grapes with an optical selector. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation<br />without the use of added yeasts and maceration assisted by frequent punching down. The whole process takes place in steel conical vats at a controlled temperature for 18<br />days.<br />BOTTLE AGING: 18 months<br />ALCOHOL CONTENT: 14°.<br />DRY EXTRACT: 29.4<br />TOTAL ACIDITY: 5,28<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE: 16-17° C<br />

Sang.Cab.Franc.Merlot HAIKU...

Sang.Cab.Franc.Merlot HAIKU...

HAIKU 2016<br />Tuscany I.G.T.<br />Haiku was born in 2009 and is the result of a blend of three varieties: 50% is Sangiovese, while the remainder is equally divided between Cabernet Franc and Merlot. During<br />the planting of the second part of the Montebuoni vineyard, completed in 2001, it was decided to experiment with a noble international variety, Cabernet Franc, which until<br />then had not been used at Ama. However, after a careful analysis of the soil and climate, it was assumed that Cabernet Franc would give good results. In 2001, two small<br />plots were planted, numbered 84 and 85 in the company's land register, of 1.47 ha and 0.47 ha respectively, for a total surface area of 2 hectares with clone 214,<br />appreciated in the Bordeaux area for its ability to produce 'vins-de-garde' on rootstock 110R.<br /><br />CLIMATE: The winter was mild and rainy. In April we had a rapid rise in temperature, while May and June were unstable. Finally, summer arrived in July, with a wide range of<br />temperatures between day and night, which favoured the development of aromas and flavours. Despite the hailstorm at the end of August, the grapes were healthy. After<br />numerous samplings and organoleptic analyses in the vineyard and in the laboratory, the grapes were picked by hand, in 10/12 kg crates, on 14 September for the Merlot,<br />28 September for the Cabernet Franc and 29 September for the Sangiovese.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: vinification was induced by indigenous yeasts and separated by variety in steel vats at a controlled temperature between 30/32°C, with manual pumping over<br />and a total stay of 26 days for the Merlot, 23 days for the Cabernet Franc and 23 days for the Sangiovese. After racking, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in steel<br />tanks.<br /><br />AGING: at the end of malolactic fermentation, the three varieties were blended. The wine then went into fine-grained oak barriques, 24% of which were new.<br />TECHNICAL DATA OF THE WINE:<br />First vintage produced: 2009<br />Grapes: 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot<br />Alcohol content: 13.5<br />Total acidity: 5.03 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 1 g/l<br />Extract: 30.5 m/l<br />Colour: intense purple red with ruby reflections<br />Bouquet: still hermetic, closed nose, with hints of ripe fruit and balsamic notes<br />Taste: full and velvety tannic structure prevails in the mouth.

AMA 2016<br />Chianti Classico DOCG<br /><br />With the 2010 vintage and the birth of the Gran Selezione in Chianti Classico, AMA was born almost entirely from Sangiovese grapes.This wine is produced from vines<br />cultivated at a high density (5,200 plants/ha), with grapes harvested entirely by hand in young vines of an average age of 10-12 years.<br /><br />CLIMATE: The winter was mild and rainy. In April we had a rapid rise in temperature, while May and June were unstable. Finally, in July, summer arrived, characterised by<br />large temperature differences between day and night, which favoured the development of aromas and flavours. Despite the hailstorm at the end of August, the grapes were<br />healthy. After numerous samplings and organoleptic analyses in the vineyard and in the laboratory, the grapes were harvested by hand in 10-12 kg crates on 26 September<br />for the Merlot and on 3-4 October for the Sangiovese. The harvest was full of expectations, which were not betrayed.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: The vinification was induced by indigenous yeasts and separated by variety in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 30/32°, with manual pumping<br />over and a total stay (cuvaison) of 26 days for the Sangiovese and 26 days for the Merlot. After racking, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in steel tanks.<br /><br />AGING: At the end of malolactic fermentation, the two varieties were blended. The wine was then put into fine-grained oak barriques, without the use of new wood, and<br />bottled in January.<br /><br />TECHNICAL DATA OF THE WINE<br />First vintage produced: 2010<br />Grapes: 96% Sangiovese, 4% Merlot<br />Alcohol content: 13%.<br />Total acidity: 5, 2 g/l<br />Residual sugars: &lt;1 g/l<br />Extract: 29,3 m/l<br /><br />Colour: ruby red with vermillion reflections<br />Bouquet: fruity, cherry, raspberry and fresh red fruit<br />Taste: elegant and harmonious with spicy and well-proportioned notes at first impact<br />
