Champagne Roederer Cristal...
CRISTAL 2014<br /><br />A three-step climatic waltz with strong, sharp and decisive contrasts! A splendid, dry spring leading into a torrid June; a cool, rainy autumn summer; a warm, sunny and very<br />dry September... worthy of an August. The 'key' to this vintage lies in the soil and the work of the vine-growers: the chalk, which is rewarding because it drains better, in the<br />medium-low part of the hillside, has made it possible to eliminate the excess water of the summer and limit stagnation... our increasingly virtuous vine-growing practices are<br />fundamental, allowing us to go further in the search for balance in the grapes and ripening.<br />'Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon<br /><br />Golden, luminous and brilliant. Dynamic effervescence followed by an intense, perfumed bouquet of great purity. Citrus fruits and candied fruit combine with notes of harvest<br />and roasted almonds.<br />On the palate, the silky texture is amplified by a delicate effervescen perfectly integrated and deliciously elegant.<br />The purity and perfection of the ripe yellow fruits blend to the intense chalky freshness, typical of Cristal, palpable and savoury at the same time. Full-bodied and juicy on the<br />palate, defined and spiced by the partial ageing period in oak barrels.<br />Persistent and salacious in the finish.<br />

Champagne Blanc de Blancs...
It was characterised by a three-cycle weather pattern, with sharp contrasts. After a splendid spring, dry and culminating in a torrid June, a cool and rainy summer followed;<br />September was hot, sunny and very dry. The 'key to the grape harvest' lies in the soils and the work of the winegrowers: chalk is a winner because it is more draining, and in<br />the hills it allowed excess summer water to be disposed of and the vigour to be contained. The work in the plots, with increasingly virtuous practices, allows the grapes to<br />reach balance and full maturity.<br /><br />Characteristics<br />Dosage: 8g/l<br />Grape varieties:<br />100% chardonnay 23% wood-aged wines<br /><br />NO MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION<br />Characteristics of the Cru:<br />Made exclusively from Côte des Blancs grapes.<br />CRU: Avize<br /><br />Tasting notes:<br />Brilliant gold in colour with green reflections, a soft, regular and slow perlage rises in the glass. There are pure, delicate and airy aromas with nuances of delicate flowers<br />(honeysuckle, jasmine), ripe citrus (cedar). With aeration, notes of iodine appear accompanied by warmer, sweeter notes of pastry. The palate is dense, finely spicy and<br />invigorating. The attack is fresh and energetic with citrus (orange), dried fruit and Madagascar vanilla. The bubble gently melts and gives way to a chalky freshness, revealing<br />a finish that is light and dusty at first glance, but surprises with a real final acceleration with fine tannins and spicy tones.<br />

Chianti class. 2021...

Champagne Pommery 750ml...
The Apanage cuvée was conceived as a confidential cuvée dedicated to gastronomy.<br /><br />Apanage was created by meticulously selecting seventeen villages with a strong identity and link to Pommery.

Champange Dom Pérignon...
The perfect harmony<br /><br />Dom Pérignon creates only Vintage Champagnes, made from the best grapes selected in a single vintage.<br />He never stops reinventing himself, to always interpret the exclusive character of each season to the best of his ability. It refuses to compromise, renouncing the creation of<br />the Millesimato when the vintage is not up to scratch.<br />After an elaboration of at least eight years, the wine achieves perfect balance, the House's finest promise. This is Dom Pérignon Vintage, the Plénitude of Harmony.<br /><br /><br />EXPLOSIVE HARMONY<br />For Dom Pérignon, the assemblage is the grand rendezvous of Champagne elaboration. It is the creative gesture that, starting in the vineyard, through a search for intuition<br />and creation, draws on contrasts and paradoxes, juxtapositions and complementarities, and thus reveals its personal truth for each vintage.<br /><br />It is a blend that invites an unexpected inner dialogue. Today, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 and its explosive harmony stand out.<br /><br />The unpredictability of the 2012 seasons, their authority and generosity, composed a singular olfactory landscape of extraordinary variety. An unparalleled richness and<br />diversity of fruit: in 2012, every grape variety, every region, every village, every plot of land reached the peak of its potential, giving rise to a vintage that combines all<br />polarities.<br /><br />In a blend of intensity, restrained tensions and extreme contrasts, the 2012 Dom Pérignon Vintage assemblage reveals a singular structure, vibrating to the rhythm of a<br />controlled energy, channelled by the acidic and bitter notes, which bursts and shines. An explosive harmony.<br /><br />THE NOSE<br />The nose is complete and voluble, an interweaving of flowers and fruits, followed by the union of vegetal and mineral notes. The bouquet is tactile, a discreet invitation to<br />follow the powdery trail of white flowers, edged by the sweetness of apricot and mirabella, and then arriving at the freshness of rhubarb and mint, to the minerality of ash.<br />White pepper.<br /><br />THE PALATE<br />It is energy that dominates the palate. After a pleasant opening, the wine quickly becomes vibrant and then literally explodes. The effervescence is rampant, the sensation is<br />tonic. The finish, which converges on acidic and bitter notes, narrows and becomes penetrating, leaving its mark, marked by ginger, tobacco and toasted aromas.<br />

Pratto 2020 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 />

Chardonnay 'Cardellino'...
Chardonnay 'Cardellino' 2021 - South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' was Elena Walch's first wine and is still probably the winery's most popular wine. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the 'Cardellino' - only<br />builds its nest in Chardonnay vines, while it does not nest in other grape varieties. Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an elegant Chardonnay full of character, to<br />this faithful little bird, which has won many lovers with its minerality, freshness, coupled with suppleness and excellent structure. The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' has long<br />since become a South Tyrolean classic and continues to be the most popular wine at the Walch family's table. A wine to which one remains loyal, just as the Cardellino<br />remains loyal to its Chardonnay.<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' convinces with a strong, straw-yellow colour, with a complex interplay of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral<br />richness 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:<br />inviting, refreshing and easy to drink.<br /><br />OUTCOME OF THE YEAR 2021: we are delighted with a vintage of outstanding quality, especially for our white wines! A dry and cool spring led to a late flowering of the<br />vines, followed by a warm and dry June. After a volatile midsummer, there was a surprising change in the weather in mid-August, which brought dream weather until the end<br />of September and created the very best conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest began in mid-September, about 10 days later than last year. Blue skies<br />and lots of sunshine as well as midsummer daytime temperatures and autumnally cool nights enabled the grapes to reach ideal sugar levels while retaining very good<br />acidity. Accordingly, the wines of the 2021 vintage show a markedly high quality.<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: 6.7 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 0,5 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay<br />
