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 />

TYPE: Molise DOC Aglianico Riserva - ' Contado '.<br />PRODUCTION AREA: vineyard Contrada Camarda ( Pesaro ). Altitude 200 mt. Southeast exposure<br />VINE: Aglianico 100%.<br />TYPE OF SOIL: calcareous clay.<br />AGE OF THE VINEYARDS: average age 22 years.<br />VINIFICATION: in small steel fermenters with long maceration.<br />VINEYARD SYSTEM: espalier.<br />COLOUR: ruby red with garnet reflections.<br />BOUQUET: wide and intense bouquet with hints of ripe fruit.<br />PAIRINGS: goes well with savoury food, hearty first courses, game, meat and mature cheeses, also with vegetarian dishes such as stewed vegetables, legumes, baked<br />vegetable dishes such as aubergine parmigiana or vegetable soufflé.<br />TASTE: Soft and velvety in the mouth, very harmonious with good body, rightly tannic with a black cherry aftertaste.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES: Aglianico is an ancient vine, probably originating in Greece and introduced in Italy around the 7th-6th century BC. There are no certainties about the<br />origins of the name, which could be traced back to the ancient city of Elea (Eleanico), on the Tyrrhenian coast of Campania, or be more simply a mispronunciation of the<br />word Hellenico (for its Greek origin). The original name (Elleanico or Hellenico) became Aglianico during the Aragonese domination in the 15th century, due to the double L<br />pronounced gli in Spanish phonetic usage.Aglianico Contado Riserva Di Majo Norante: the ancient culture of the vine-dressing man combined with modernity and the future.<br /><br />DESCRIPTION: Di Majo Norante produces its wines exclusively from the 123 hectares of the ancient feud of the Marquis Norante di Santa Cristina. In Molise, wine has a<br />tradition that goes back to the Samnites and the Romans, who introduced the cultivation of the vine. The production methods are those handed down from one generation to<br />the next in the southern Apennines, always linked to the values of the peasant world. Di Majo Norante has sacrificed productivity and standardisation of taste in the constant<br />pursuit of quality and typicality, in the conviction that southern vines are better suited to the soil and climatic conditions of the Molise countryside. The predisposition to<br />select clones of indigenous southern vines through the study of their adaptability to the soil is at the origin of all Di Majo Norante wines. Grapes of ancient vines such as<br />Aglianico, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Tintilia for the production of red wines, Falanghina and Greco for the production of white wines; Moscato reale for the sweet<br />passito. With regard to the cultivation of the grapes, the main aim is to maintain the biodiversity of the vineyards. Biodiversity is defined as the totality of all forms of life<br />present: plants, animals and micro-organisms. For this reason, the rules of organic farming have been followed for many years. All the vineyards are left with natural grassing<br />and spontaneous flowering to ensure the healthiness of the soil, guaranteeing the presence of the necessary micro-organisms and insects that are antagonists to many<br />parasites. Production is kept low to obtain the highest quality of grapes; thanks to the thinning out of the bunches, only the most beautiful, ripe and healthy ones reach the<br />harvest.<br /><br />AGEING: The wine is aged for about three years, one of which in barriques and tonneaux.<br />

It comes from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes<br />grown on strong soils of ferrous clay, combined by an ancient geological chaos with sand of aeolian nature. A terroir that influences and shapes the variety in a<br />Mediterranean key, making the wine unique and seductive. After harvesting, the grapes ferment with long maceration on the skins, then the wine is placed to mature in<br />barriques for about 18 months. After bottling, it rests in the cellar for a further 12 months. A decisive ruby colour with violet streaks, it is enveloped by ample perfumes of<br />great intensity, defined by notes of morello cherry and blackcurrant, tobacco and spices. The sip, rhythmic and silky, has specific weight and structure that the good acidity<br />maintains in formidable balance. The finish is warm and seductive, with a very long persistence.<br />

Masseto 2016 IGT Ornellaia...

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 />
