Chardonnay 'Cardellino'...

Chardonnay 'Cardellino'...

Chardonnay 'Cardellino' 2022<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' was the first wine of Elena Walch and is still probably the most popular wine of the winery. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the<br />'Cardellino' - builds its nest only in Chardonnay vines, while it does not nest in other grape varieties. To this faithful little bird Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an<br />elegant and characterful Chardonnay, which has won many lovers with minerality, freshness, coupled with suppleness and excellent structure. The Chardonnay 'Cardellino'<br />has long become a classic of South Tyrol and continues to be the most popular wine at the table of the Walch family. A wine to which one remains faithful, just as the<br />Cardellino remains faithful to its Chardonnay.<br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' convinces with a strong, straw-yellow color, with a complex play of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral richness<br />and a spicy hint of tobacco. On the palate, this classic from Elena Walch surprises with exciting freshness and mineral race, with elegance and juicy length: inviting,<br />refreshing and easy to drink.<br /><br />COURSE OF THE VINTAGE 2022<br />An excellent vintage 2022 awaits you! Thanks to the warm, stable summer, grapes of the very best health and with balanced values have reached our cellar. The 2022<br />vintage began with a warm spring, which led to an early start of flowering. The following summer was consistently dry and warm, and hot in mid-summer. The drought did not<br />lead to any problems, not least thanks to our irrigation systems and meteostations in the vineyard. The warm summer months resulted in very healthy grapes of very good<br />quality and ripeness. The acidity levels were somewhat lower due to the vintage, but well balanced and were supported by targeted foliage work in the summer, as well as a<br />somewhat earlier harvest. The first grapes were harvested at the end of August - as always completely by hand. Overall, the wines are complex, with great structure and very<br />good fruit.<br /><br />VINIFICATION Gentle pressing, static clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 20°C, long contact with the yeast after fermentation. Part of the must<br />(about 15%) is fermented in French oak barrels where it matures for six months. The assemblage takes place in spring.<br /><br />Alcohol: 13,50% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.5 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 0,3 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay<br />

Pratto 2021 IGT Benaco BS...

<br />Pratto<br /><br />Pratto represents a challenge that we wanted to take up, going beyond conventional schemes while maintaining unaltered respect for the territory. In this late harvest, the<br />aromaticity of Sauvignon vinified in stainless steel, the softness of Chardonnay and the finesse of Turbiana meet harmoniously with an exclusive result. The nose shows<br />notes of tropical fruit accompanied by a vegetality and minerality that enhance the finesse and elegance with a very communicative impact that induces salivation stimulating<br />the taste. On the palate it is rich with an exquisitely sweet attack followed by perfectly balanced acidity and flavour, and finally the fruity and mineral notes return. Ideal with<br />structured starters such as crostini with foie gras and also with delicate but richly flavoured first courses, light and white meats and fish with aromatic herbs.<br />Perfect with mature cheeses.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Turbiana, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey<br />Training system: Guyot and spurred cordon<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 80 quintals<br />Type of vinification: Steel<br />Malo/actic: Not carried out<br />Ageing and development: In steel on fine lees 12 months, followed by two months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 13.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.60 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.35 g/L<br />pH: 3.10<br />Dry extract: 21.5 g/L<br />

Spumante DOC Blauwal...

DER BLAUWAL Riserva 2009 Trento DOC<br /><br />From Chardonnay grapes<br /><br />Der Blauwal is our classic method reserve. A single vineyard, a single vintage and a single grape variety. Time is a precious commodity: it takes at least 84 months on the<br />lees to transfer the complex history of the vintage, the identity of the vineyard and the characteristics of the variety into the wine. It is an extra brut with a dosage of about 3<br />g/l. The enveloping taste and structure are merited by the quality of the grapes from old vines and the ripeness of the fruit. To prevent this complexity from being diluted in<br />any way, the final topping up, which follows disgorging, is done with the same wine as the start.<br />IN BRIEF<br /><br />Grapes, 100% Chardonnay<br /><br />VINEYARD, single vineyard in Pressano, pergola over 45 years old<br /><br />SOIL, Werfen sandstone with the presence of gypsum and limestone<br /><br />VINIFICATION, soft pressing with 50% yield, fermentation in used barriques, malolactic fermentation.<br /><br />Maturation, at least 84 months<br /><br />DOSAGE, Extra Brut<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 />

Franciacorta Extra Brut...

Franciacorta Extra Brut...

Blànc<br />A fascinating sip fused in a dynamic perlage that translates the essence of the material into refined elegance, whose key to interpretation remains the full structure in a<br />paradigm of unprecedented rationality, the nerve centre of freshness and pungent minerality. Interweavings of impalpable chalkiness, puffs of powder, yellow citrus, almond,<br />salt, broom and honeysuckle are read as tension and depth, an authentic goblet, free gastronomic thought. The gracefulness of the sip is the unmistakable stylistic feature,<br />of which the biting vertical development in an author's palate is surprising.<br />BLÀNC COMBINATION<br />One label and two numbers: 20 vintage variables from 37 selected vineyards. The strength and beauty of vines that are more than three decades old, with roots that dig into<br />the many layers of the terroir, to draw from them distinctive nutrients and unique microelements. The ultimate expression of our Franciacorta.<br /><br />Grapes: Chardonnay 50%, Pinot Blanc 50%.<br />

Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method.

A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wine to be transferred by gravity from the small barrels to the ageing tanks. After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing. The dégorgement takes place in the<br />absence of oxygen, using a unique system invented and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta<br />wines purer, more pleasant and longer-lived.
