Malvasia Lipari DOC Passito...
Malvasia delle Lipari<br />DOC passito<br /><br />THE COMPANY<br />A passion for oenology and for Malvasiadelle Lipari as the ultimate challenge of an intense life studded with interests.

His small revolutions in the cellar fascinated experts, starting with Veronelli, and brought Hauner's Malvasia to the tables of prestigious restaurants, in Italy, France,<br />the United States, Great Britain and Japan. In the 1980s, with the construction of a modern cellar, production was expanded, and alongside the Malvasia, Salina Bianco,<br />Salina Rosso and Antonello were born, a product of great lineage aged in barriques. aged in barriques.

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 />

Cluster growth was regular and optimal, production was good and ripening was perfect.<br /><br />Harvest period: Harvesting was strictly by hand and took place for the Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes from mid-September. After an initial selection in the vineyard when<br />harvested by hand, the grapes are carefully selected a second time on arrival at the winery on the sorting table.<br /><br />Winemaking notes: After manual selection on the sorting table, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed, taking care not to break the skin of the berries. Alcoholic<br />fermentation takes place in stainless steel open-cap fermenters at a controlled temperature, with maceration of the grapes, for about 20 days. Daily dèlestages allowed the<br />extraction of the aromatic bouquet and the right balance<br />tannicity, with important structure that will allow long ageing.<br /><br />Ageing: The wine is aged in first and second passage French oak Tonneaux for a period of about 22 months and then blended and bottled.<br />
