Masseto 2020 IGT Toscana 750ml
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 />

Le Serre Nuove 2021...
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia<br />BOLGHERI DOC RED<br /><br />Born from the same vines, under the same sky, from the same philosophy. Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a proud second wine, it has the gift of anticipating the character<br />of the vintage of the estate's flagship wine and, at the same time, of offering its own point of view. The joy of its sip evolves over time, adding to the energy of youth the charm<br />of maturity.<br /><br />Winemaker's notes<br /><br />'The offspring of a vintage that proved to be of great level and satisfaction, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2021 reveals the good tannic quality and well-dosed concentration<br />that characterises the wines of this vintage.<br />In the glass it flaunts a brilliant ruby red colour, with the usual purple highlights. The nose is fresh, with hints of pink pepper and cypress berries, reminiscent of the<br />Mediterranean bush.<br />On the palate the wine is elegant, with nice acidity and a persistent, savoury finish that invites a second sip.'<br />Olga Fusari - Winemaker - April 2023<br /><br />E NOLOGO TASTING NOTES<br />50% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot Alc. 14.5% vol.<br /><br />THE CLIMATE OF 2021<br />The 2021 vintage began with a rainy and mild winter that allowed the soil's water reserves to be replenished. After a dry March, budding took place in the first two weeks of<br />April. The gradual rise in temperatures, with normal rainfall, allowed the shoots to grow steadily, leading to flowering in excellent conditions at the end of May. From June<br />onwards, fully summery weather set in, with slightly higher than average temperatures and almost no rainfall, leading to veraison in the last week of July. The drought lasted<br />throughout August and September, but the spring rains and deep Bolgheri soils allowed the vines to avoid too much water stress, creating the conditions for small, highly<br />concentrated grapes with high quality potential. September was warm and sunny with no rain, allowing an 'à la carte' harvest to express the full quality potential of each<br />individual vineyard. he harvest of the reds took place substantially during the month of September, with the Merlot in the first two weeks and the other vines on the estate<br />from 13 September, concluding on 1 October.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND FINING<br />Harvesting was carried out by hand in 15 kg crates and the grapes were sorted on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then subjected to a soft crushing.<br />Since 2016, optical sorting has been introduced in addition to manual sorting to further increase the quality of the selection. Each variety and each plot was vinified<br />separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel vats, partly in cement vats, at temperatures between 22-28°C for a fortnight followed by maceration for<br />approximately 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel vats, after which the wines were transferred to barriques (25% new and 75% second-passage). The<br />wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellars at a controlled temperature for a period of about 15 months. After the first 12 months it was blended and then reintroduced<br />into the barriques where it spent a further 3 months. The wine remained in the bottle for six months before release.<br />

Yu Gin 70cl 43%
RIVIERA<br />This is the spontaneous juniper of the Maremma coast. With a savoury taste, it is influenced by the volcanic soil, the altitude of 200 metres and the sea wind. PH 6.4. 25%<br />of the blend.<br /><br />ALCOHOL CONTENT<br />45° balances each cocktail.<br /><br />CHIANTI<br />This is the juniper harvested in the Chianti hills. Thanks to its altitude of almost 600 metres above sea level, it is the juniper with the most balsamic notes. PH 8.3. 10% of<br />the blend.<br /><br />DISTILLATION<br />This takes place at low temperature in a discontinuous copper pot still. This is followed by two months' rest before bottling.<br /><br />VALTIBERINE<br />This is our high altitude juniper. It is in fact those almost 800 metres, combined with the area's loamy and sandy soil, that give it its unmistakable hint of balance and<br />sobriety. It is the most common juniper in our blend. PH 7.7. 65% of the blend.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES<br />As clear as any good London Dry Gin, it surprises the nose with a strong scent of wild juniper immediately softened by dog rose and herbaceous hints of helichrysum. In the<br />mouth, the juniper explodes overbearingly, to which is added the rose and the balsamic note of helichrysum. Immediate is the spicy coriander which fades into a persistent<br />finish of slightly citrus notes.<br />

Sylvaner Südt. DOC 750ml...
This grape variety most likely originates from Germany and was introduced to South Tyrol around 1900; today it is mainly cultivated in the Eisack Valley. The Sylvaner grape<br />feels particularly at home in the not too high, airy and warm slopes of the central Valle Isarco. The shallow, gravelly, weathered soils give the wine its incomparable delicacy<br />and elegance, which, although reminiscent of the wines of the same name on the other side of the Alps, unmistakably reflects the peculiarity of the Valle Isarco.<br /><br /><br />Vintage: 2021<br />Grape variety: Sylvaner<br />Growing altitude: 520 - 850 m<br />Soil: mineral-rich, gravelly diorite and quartz phyllite weathered soils<br />Vinification: gentle processing and pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing on fine yeast in stainless steel tanks, no malolactic fermentation<br /><br /><br />Colour: light lemon yellow<br />Taste: dry, aromatic, pleasantly fresh with a balanced body<br />Aroma: delicate, typical of the variety, fruity, of peach, apple, apricot<br />
