Morellino di Scansano Docg Roggiano Riserva<br /><br />Grapes: Sangiovese 95%, Merlot 5%.<br />Training system: spurred cordon<br />Planting density: 3000 vines/hectare<br />Soil type: sandy-loamy<br />Altitude: 250 metres a.s.l.<br />Age of vineyards: over 25 years old<br />Harvest time: first week of October<br />Method of fermentation: selected grapes from particularly suitable vineyards. Harvesting of the grapes at perfect phenolic maturity, maceration at 35°C for 12 hours; followed<br />by fermentation at controlled temperature (max 29°C) and post-fermentation maceration on the skins for a total of 12 days from the start of fermentation. Malolactic<br />fermentation occurs naturally a few days after racking.<br />Maturation: in 225 l French oak barriques (20% first passage, 80% second and third) for 12 months. Brief passage in steel.<br />Ageing: in bottle for 10 months.<br />Ageing potential: structured Morellino di Scansano to be drunk preferably 4-8 years after harvesting.<br />Description: Morellino di Scansano Roggiano Riserva is a concentrated ruby red colour. Its nose is elegant, complex and variegated with dark fruits, flowers, spices and<br />undergrowth. On the palate it is slender, fine and balanced. Warm, fresh and rightly savoury, it shows round tannins and a nice softness. The finish has an excellent taste-<br />olfactory persistence.<br />Pairings: With roasted and braised meats, succulent meat dishes, mature cheeses.<br />Serving temperature: 16-18°C<br />Ideal glass: a large Bordeaux-type goblet.<br />

TYPE: D.O.C. Bolgheri Sassicaia<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Bolgheri. The production facilities are located at an average altitude of between 100 and 300 metres above sea level, with western/southwestern<br />exposure.<br /><br />VINE: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: strong presence of calcareous areas rich in marl and stones and partially clayey.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: Selection of the grapes using a sorting table to eliminate impurities and any imperfections. Soft pressing and gentle de-stemming of the grapes using<br />suitable machinery to avoid breaking the integrity of the berries and avoid excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation (completely spontaneous and without the<br />addition of external yeasts) was completed in mid-October and took place regularly at maximum temperatures of 26-27 °C. Frequent delestages and open-air pumping over<br />allowed for excellent aromatic extraction and freshness in terms of the acidity of the musts. Malolactic fermentations (always without nocules), carried out in stainless steel,<br />were completed regularly at the end of November thanks to the low external temperatures. In early December, after frequent racking to clean the musts, the wine was placed<br />in barriques from the first ten days of December 2019.<br /><br />VINEYARD SYSTEM: spurred cordon<br /><br />COLOUR: purple red with violet reflections.<br /><br />BOUQUET: expressive and very fine bouquet, broad, with hints of cherry and aromas of undergrowth, balsamic herbs and rosemary.<br /><br />PAIRINGS: Meat of all kinds and fine game.<br /><br />TASTE: very fine and intense, with a fresh acidity supported by strong tannins. Balanced and long.<br /><br />AGEING: at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine was put into barriques using 40% new wood, 40% first passage and 20% second passage. We used French oak<br />barriques (Troncais and Allier in particular) with a fine grain and light toasting in order not to overdo the release of tannins. Sassicaia 2019, after about 25 months of<br />refinement in wood, was racked into steel tanks and further selected before final blending and then bottling.Subsequent refinement in bottle before release.<br />

Teroldego Rotaliano DOC<br />BOTTEGA VINAI<br /><br />Teroldego is probably the oldest quality vine variety produced in Trentino; in fact, there has been talk of it since the 15th century, but there is no certainty as to its<br />etymological origin: perhaps it refers to the 'Tiroler Gold' - gold of the Tyrol - for its intrinsic quality that prompted Cesare Battisti to define it as the 'prince wine of Trentino'.<br />In 1948, its producers were the first to form a consortium for the protection of Teroldego Rotaliano and in 1970 they were the first to obtain the recognition of Denominazione<br />di Origine Controllata. Production area: Campo Rotaliano, to the north of Trento, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo, on the glacial gravel banks of the Noce torrent, which<br />in fact reproduce the characteristics of the hillside.<br /><br />Grape varieties: exclusively Teroldego with a yield of 80 hectolitres per hectare. It has large, trilobate leaves with sharp, irregular toothing and red autumn colouring; the<br />vigour of the vines is good and constant, grown using the Trentino pergola; the bunches are fairly compact, the skin is pruinose and leathery and the flesh juicy.<br /><br />Vinification and refinement: it is vinified in red, with maceration lasting 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged partly in barriques and partly in Slavonian oak<br />casks, but only for 6 months and no longer, in order to preserve the fruity notes typical of the variety.<br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol:13,00%vol-Total acidity: 5 g/l-Net dry extract: 29 g/l-Residual sugar: dry-Contains sulphites<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: Intense ruby red wine, with marked and lively purple edges when young. The bouquet is clean, distinctly fruity with hints of raspberry and<br />blackberry and berries, such as raspberry, in the initial period; later, as it matures, the bouquet is enriched with new sensations, becoming ethereal, very broad and at the<br />same time personal. In the mouth it reveals a balanced tannicity, accompanied by a full and continuous texture. The taste is velvety, enveloping, full-bodied and austere.<br /><br />Serving suggestions: 'Tonco de Pontesel' from Trentino, venison and polenta, veal stew, mixed grilled meats.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 16-18°C<br />
