Tancredi 2017<br />DENOMINATION: Red - Terre Siciliane IGT.<br />GRAPES: Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola; the blend is completed with Tannat and other grapes.<br />PRODUCTION AREA: South-western Sicily, Contessa Entellina estate and surrounding areas.<br />SOILS AND CLIMATE: Altitude from 200 to 400 m above sea level; hilly terrain; clay loam soils with sub-alkaline reaction (pH from 7.5 to 7.9), rich in nutrients (potassium,<br />magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc) and total limestone from 20 to 35%. Mild winters; dry, windy summers with large temperature differences between day and<br />night.<br />VINEYARD: counter-espalier training with spurred cordon pruning, leaving 6 to 8 buds per plant. Plant density from 4,500 to 6,000 plants per hectare with yields of about<br />50-60 quintals/ha.<br />YEAR: Contessa Entellina recorded 555 mm of rain in 2017, which is slightly below the average* (661 mm) for this area. The rainfall was concentrated mainly in the autumn<br />and winter and therefore, in June and July, relief irrigation was carried out; the vines were thus able to complete their vegetative-productive cycle in a regular manner.<br />Temperatures, particularly between July and August, were higher than the seasonal averages, which led to an advance of 1-2 weeks in the ripening periods of all the varieties<br />grown. During this period of the summer, the good temperature fluctuations between day and night gave healthy grapes with excellent aromatic and phenolic ripening. In<br />addition, there was a drop in quantity of around 15% compared to the company average. Thanks to careful management of agronomic practices and vinification, the quality of<br />the vintage is certainly positive: ideal phenolic ripening gave fine and elegant reds. * The rainfall figures are calculated from 1 October to 30 September of the following year;<br />** The average is calculated from the 2003 harvest)<br />HARVEST: Manual harvesting in boxes with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Harvesting of the grapes destined for Tancredi began in the last ten days of<br />August with the Nero d'Avola followed by the harvesting of the Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon in the first ten days of September.<br />WINE-MAKING: On receipt at the winery, the bunches are selected on the vibrating table and then the grapes are destemmed using a latest-generation destemming<br />machine that rejects green and overripe grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with maceration on the skins for about 14 days at a temperature of 28°-30° C.<br />Maturation for 13-14 months in French oak barriques (new and second passage) and at least 14 months in bottle.<br />ANALYTICAL DATA: alcohol 13,66 % vol., total acidity: 5,5 g/l., pH: 3,65<br />TASTING NOTES (12/02/2020): With an intense ruby red colour, Tancredi 2017 combines notes of ripe red fruit (currant and plum) and balsamic (eucalyptus) with delicate<br />hints of cocoa and sweet tobacco. On the palate it has an excellent structure with important and perfectly integrated tannins; a fresh drink with a very long retro-olfactory<br />persistence.<br />LONGEVITY: over 20 years.<br />FOOD &amp; WINE: With steak, signature burgers and game; also excellent on fillet of beef with mushrooms. Can be uncorked at the moment if served in large glasses with a<br />wide mouth and good height. Excellent at 18°C.<br />WHEN YOU WISH: To live a refined sensory experience. Share your passion for elegant, long-lived wines. To live a moment of true beauty.<br />DIALOGUE WITH ART: Do you remember the Tancredi played by Alain Delon in the famous film that Visconti made from 'The Leopard' by Giuseppe Tomasi di<br />Lampedusa? This wine represents his elegance and 'revolutionary' ambition. The label features an illustration by artist Stefano Vitale who dedicated the work to Giacomo<br />Rallo, visionary captain of Donnafugata. Contessa's winery is there, in the clouds as if it were a mirage. Above right, the beloved village of Sambuca di Sicilia where some of<br />the vineyards that contribute to the Tancredi blend are located. They are all there, the places where the memory of the man and his dreams come true remains indelible.<br />FIRST VINTAGE: 1990.<br />

Vin Santo<br /><br />Historical evidence tells of the existence of Vino Santo as early as the 16th century in the vicinity of Castel Toblino, and it is certain that a Vino Santo Puro was produced<br />from the Rauten vineyards in Sarche as early as 1825 (diploma Melbourne Australia 1880-1881).<br /><br />The ancient tradition, masterfully perpetrated up to the Salvetta brothers, comes back to life with the Salvetta Winery: the long and complex process leads to the birth of this<br />great meditation wine.<br /><br />Harvested late, in fact, the Nosiola bunches are left to rest in well-ventilated areas on the 'Arele', the racks on which the grapes dry naturally for several months, until they<br />are pressed during Holy Week, between March and April of the year following the harvest. The wine is then left to ferment and refine for five years in oak barrels and steel,<br />until bottling.<br /><br />The result is a sweet wine to be enjoyed at a temperature of 10 - 12 degrees, on its own or with dry desserts. The combination with blue cheeses and foie gras is<br />exceptional.<br /><br />The vintages currently being aged are those of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 harvests, while the 2009 and 2011 vintages are on sale.<br />

LUDWIG BARTH VON BARTHENAU<br />Vigna Roccolo<br />A Pinot Noir whose dark ruby-red colour already hints at its enormous concentration. In the glass, it soon reveals its aromatic depth: multi-faceted aromas of sour cherries<br />and cranberries, accompanied by delicate vanilla tones and fine oak. On the palate, it is very elegant and convinces with its precise acidity, velvety tannins and an<br />impressively long finish.The Vigna Roccolo is, together with the Vigna S. Urbano, another small parcel and valuable cru of our vineyards in the Mazon site. In this heart of<br />Mazon, there was already a Burgundy vineyard at the time of the vineyard's previous owner, Ludwig Barth von Barthenau, which stood next to a 'Roccolo', a historic bird-<br />catching site. This Pinot Noir reflects the enormous potential of this unique site, where vines grow that are 70 years old.Only the classification 'Vigna' guarantees the origin<br />of a site wine in South Tyrol.<br />HOFSTÄTTER CLASSIFICATION: Site wine<br />GRAPE VARIETY: Pinot Noir<br />SOIL: Conglomerate of clay, limestone and porphyry soils.<br />VINIFICATIONAND RIPENESS: After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and the individual berries are selected once again on a table in additional manual work.<br />After a short, cool maceration to refine the fruit bouquet, the wine ferments for about 10 days at a constant temperature of 28°C.The maturation extends over three different<br />phases: in the first phase the wine is aged for about 12 months in small oak barrels, then after the assemblage it matures for about another 6 months in large oak barrels<br />and after bottling it is stored for another 12 months in the cellars of the Ansitz Barthenau.<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE: 14° -16° C<br />Serving Suggestions: red meats, game, mild cheeses.<br />

<br />South Tyrol Moscato Rosa DOC<br /><br />A rare pleasure in a small edition<br /><br />Castel Sallegg and Moscato Rosa. These two terms have long belonged together in South Tyrol. Not without reason, it was the Princes of Campofranco, ancestors of the<br />current owner Count Georg von Kuenburg, who in 1892 brought this noble grape variety with them when they moved from Sicily to Sallegg Castle in Caldaro and planted it in<br />the warmest soil on Lake Caldaro, where it thrived magnificently. Today, the rose muscatel is one of the rarest varieties in the world. The Moscato Rosa of Castel Sallegg<br />grows at the Seehof in St. Josef am See at 230 m above sea level on the traditional pergola.<br /><br />The production of this wine is very limited: Depending on the weather, Moscato Rosa may not be bottled at all in certain years. Otherwise, up to 1,000 bottles are bottled per<br />vintage.<br /><br />Tasting Notes:<br />A dessert wine whose colour is characterised by a dense raspberry red.<br />On the nose, rich aromas of roses, fine fruit components distantly reminiscent of lychee and ripe, very complex raspberry flavours, supported by an elegant spiciness in the<br />background.<br />Very opulent, repeating the aromas of the fragrance, this powerful wine type presents itself on the palate.<br />Serving temperature: 10-14°C<br />Shelf life: Up to 30 years. Moscato Rosa is Castel Sallegg's most famous wine and, as a variety, is one of the rarest in the world.<br />Food recommendation: Ideal with mature, spicy cheeses, foie gras, desserts with berry fruits (but with sugar restrained). Also perfect as a stand-alone wine in the sense of<br />a meditation wine.<br />Grape variety: 100% Moscato Rosa - Selection Kuenburg: Autochthonous variety.<br />Site: Kaltern - Seehof: 230 m above sea level. Gravel and reddish, ground Grödner sandstone. Warm, air-permeable soils with a special microclimate in the immediate<br />vicinity of Lake Kaltern.<br />Growing system: Traditional pergola<br />Yield per vine: 0.5 kg - 8 hl/ha due to natural trickling.<br />Vinification: The grapes are harvested very late with a minimum gradation of 32°KMW (160 Öchsle). This is followed by a week of maceration in stainless steel tanks.<br />Maturation: 1 year in stainless steel barrels, followed by 12 months in the bottle.<br />Alcohol: 11 ,7 %<br />Acidity: 7,4 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 180,8 g/l<br />
