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.

Alie rosè Ammiraglia 2022...
Alìe, a figure from Greek mythology, one of the sea nymphs, symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant Rosé with a clear, pure colour and soft ruby reflections. A<br />refined balance between Syrah and Vermentino, which find their maximum expression in their proximity to the sea. Aromas of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus peel<br />blend in a delicate structure with hints of minerality typical of the terroir, giving a long, rich finish. Enchanting from aperitifs to meals and in good company.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />Winter 2021/2022 was characterised by good rainfall, as was spring 2022. This situation resulted in a proper water supply of the subsoil. Sprouting took place a few days<br />later than normal, but rising temperatures led to regular vegetative development. Summer days with above-average temperatures led to splendid ripening of the Syrah and<br />Vermentino grapes. As a result, the aromatic development was magnificent. The sun and the refreshing sea breezes were the perfect companions during the harvest period;<br />both allowed the vines to achieve a compositional balance that is an expression of this microclimate. The most genuinely Mediterranean expression of Tuscany.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Varieties: Syrah, Vermentino<br />Alcoholic degree: 12%.<br />Maturation: 3 months in steel tanks<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The secret of Alìe lies in the combination of territorial characteristics, vineyard management and, of course, the human factor. The grapes, once harvested, were transported<br />to the cellar in a short time in order not to spoil or damage the bunches. One of the highlights of the Alìe production was the pressing phase. The bunches, whole and in the<br />absence of oxygen, were loaded into the press. The pressures applied during this phase were extremely soft and gentle; this process, together with the careful selection of<br />the musts and their subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, allowed the distinctive characteristics of this seductive rosé to be enhanced. Fermentation took place in<br />stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of less than 19° C. After maturing for a few months on fine lees, subsequently including a period of bottle ageing, Alìe 2022<br />was as persuasive and fascinating as its custom.<br /><br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Alìe 2022 has a splendid soft pink colour. On the nose, its fruitiness is particularly varied: citrus notes of cedar and bergamot, ripe peach and white fruits. This is followed by<br />the floral soul of Alìe dominated by iris, orange blossom and peony. The long bouquet continues with clear hints of iodine and aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary and<br />sage. The taste-olfactory response is remarkable and precise, characterised by freshness and savouriness. Alìe is a rich, silky, smooth and satisfying wine.<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 />
