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 />

Nobile di Montepulciano...
Calimaia Estate 2020<br /><br />Located in a historic area for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and considered one of the most vocated, Calimaia lies on the gentle hills between the Val di<br />Chiana and Val d'Orcia. The vineyards, arranged around the winery's hillside, enjoy an altitude of 300 metres above sea level and are diversified in terms of exposure and soil<br />type, thus allowing each vine cultivated to be enhanced.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2020 season began with rather limited rainfall during the winter months, after the water reserves were restored in the last months of 2019. The water reserves generated<br />during this period made it possible to cope with the higher temperatures of the summer period from June to August. The vines started their budding in the last days of March.<br />The beginning of flowering occurred in the second fortnight of May with then a regular course favoured by an ideal climate with warm, dry and slightly windy days. The<br />absence of rain even during the harvesting period meant that perfectly ripe, healthy and structured grapes were brought to the cellar. The phenolic and sugar content were<br />perfect. Definitely a very favourable vintage.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Variety: 90% Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, and 10% complementary red grape varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 14.5%.<br />Maturation: 24 months in oak casks<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (max. 26°C) and fermentation took place spontaneously. Maceration on<br />the skins allowed perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances, aided by frequent pumping over in the initial stages of fermentation, interrupted by a 'delestage' in the<br />intermediate phase, and then resumed in the final phase. Malolactic fermentation was completed in steel before the winter. Maturation in 50 hL oak casks continued as<br />usual for 24 months. Prior to release, Calimaia was bottle-aged in our cellar for the next 4 months.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2020 shows an intense ruby red colour to the eye. The nose offers clear notes of red fruits: cherry and sour cherry in the<br />beginning, followed by intense notes of aromatic herbs and spices, including sage, cardamom and pink pepper. On the olfactory finish, dark chocolate is joined by hints of<br />liquorice. In the mouth, it starts with its generous body, voluminous and fresh at the same time. The tannic texture is dense and free of harshness. The taste-olfactory<br />correspondence is remarkable and the intense aromatic persistence very long.<br />

Chianti Rufina DOCG...
From this plot, which has always been known to everyone as Montesodi because of the stony nature of the soil, the first Cru of Castello Nipozzano was born in 1974. It<br />represents the wine of my youth and my best memories at Castello Nipozzano, a Sangiovese of extreme elegance and vivacity, capable of moving me even after decades.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />At Castello Nipozzano, the winter was characterised by long periods of sunshine with low temperatures. Spring, on the other hand, was cool, and the rains that fell ensured<br />good water reserves for the hot summer days. The summer period was characterised by temperature fluctuations that helped to provide refreshment during the night, with the<br />usual breezes from the slopes of the Apennines contributing in particular. The grapes were therefore accompanied to ripening by a combination of the warmth of the sun and<br />refreshing breezes; the bunches arrived at the harvest in perfect condition and the production was expressed in wines typical of the area, marked by a good acidic vein and<br />silky tannins.<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The Montesodi vineyard is located at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level, on schist soils with a magnificent south-west exposure. The Sangiovese grapes from the<br />Montesodi vineyard, after careful work in the vineyard, were harvested by hand into 15 kg crates. Further care and selection was taken in the cellar; on arrival, the grapes<br />were carefully checked on a sorting table. Berry by berry, only the highest quality was chosen in terms of polyphenolic substances and grape health. The 2019 harvest<br />produced finely concentrated, beautifully ripe grapes with a wonderful burst of freshness. Fermentations and macerations were regular. Malolactic fermentation took place<br />immediately after racking. At the end of the year, the traditional maturation of Montesodi began in 30 hl barrels of Austrian and French oak, where it remained for the next 18<br />months until bottling. The subsequent months of bottle ageing allowed Montesodi to express itself to its fullest elegance and potential.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Montesodi 2019 presents a wonderful brilliant ruby red colour. The olfactory impact is exciting, characterised by fruity notes reminiscent of redcurrants and wild strawberries.<br />This is followed by floral notes, fresh balsamic hints and an elegant spiciness reminiscent of liquorice and cloves. The sip is dynamic, the minerality and freshness are<br />accompanied by a dense and slightly rough tannic texture, typical for Sangiovese. A wine that impresses for its complexity and extreme elegance at the same time. Long in<br />the finish.<br />

Magnum Alie rosè Ammiraglia...
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 />
