Cabernet Sauvignon 375ml...
CABERNET SAUVIGNON<br /><br />This variety needs no introduction and has also found much space in Friuli. The low yields and strong stripping favour a more 'southern' maturation. Maceration is not too<br />long and during this phase great care is taken to separate the grape seeds. The result is a wine with an intense colour, warm aromas and a rounded taste, where the tannin<br />expresses itself above all with elegance.<br /><br />Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon<br />Denomination: IGT Venezia Giulia<br />Municipality of production: San Lorenzo - Corona - Romans (Gorizia)<br />Soil type: calcareous gravelly plateau (60/25 m asl)<br />Vineyard: Cultivated with organic fertilisation and integrated pest management (as per EU regulations) with no chemical weed control<br />Average age of vines: 15 years<br />Training system: Guyot 5.200 - 5.600 vines/ha<br />Production: 50 - 55 hl/ha<br />Harvesting: By hand with careful selection of the grapes<br />Alcohol content: 13%.<br />Serving temperature: 18 °C<br />Bottles produced: 110,000 (average)<br />Ageing potential 10 years<br />

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 />

Chianti Riserva NIPOZZANO...
Nipozzano Riserva 2019<br />Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG<br /><br />An emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, a historic Frescobaldi estate a few kilometres north-east of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is the symbol of the Tuscan<br />winemaking tradition and the indissoluble bond with the terroir.<br /><br />Climatic trends<br />At Castello Nipozzano, winter 2019 was characterised by long periods of sunshine with low temperatures. Spring, on the other hand, was cool, and the rains that fell<br />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 ripening 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 in wines typical of the area, marked by a good<br />acidic vein and silky tannins.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Variety: Sangiovese and complementary varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The grapes, as soon as they were harvested, were immediately delivered to the cellar. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in<br />thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. At the end of this, the wine remained in the vats to complete maceration. Following racking, malolactic fermentation took place, also<br />conducted in stainless steel. At the end of the year, the wine was racked into barriques, where it matured for the following months. The further period in bottle allowed<br />Nipozzano 2019 to express itself to the full, making it a wine of exceptional expressive balance.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Nipozzano 2019 presents a lively ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by fruity scents such as wild berries, black cherry and elegant floral notes; wonderful freshness<br />expressed through balsamic hints. This is followed by roasted and spicy notes of pepper, nutmeg and coffee. The palate is rich, characterised by the elegant density of the<br />fruit and the final mineral freshness that make it balanced and persistent. The tannic texture is dense but not scratchy. The taste-olfactory correspondence is splendid.<br />

Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG...
Giacomo loved elastic ball, a Piedmontese game played in the Acquese hills, an area with a vocation for the production of Brachetto. So it was that Giacomo, like his father<br />before him, inherited the nickname of a fist-ball champion 'Braida', and in 1967 the family began producing Brachetto d'Acqui.<br /><br />Denomination<br />Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: produced with grapes: Brachetto 100%.<br />Winery: steel tanks for fermentation and maceration of the skins at controlled temperature for 36-48 hours. Passage in autoclave for frothing. After stabilisation and<br />microfiltration, bottle ageing follows.<br />Tasting: light ruby red colour with purple reflections, lively foam and insistent perlage. Lush, fragrant and aromatic bouquet, with clear hints of ripe red fruit and dried roses.<br />Sweet, soft, delicate, sparkling, persuasive flavour with a long aromatic persistence. It goes well with strawberries and wild berries, as well as with nuts, hazelnuts, almonds,<br />pistachios and figs.<br />The most traditional pairing, with dessert at the end of the meal or mid-afternoon, is with dry pastries and baked goods, from Christmas panettone to tarts. Braida Brachetto<br />d'Acqui is perhaps the only wine in the world that, above all, goes well with chocolate.<br />Serving recommendations: Serve at 6-8°.<br />
