AVVOLTORE | IGT TOSCANA RED<br />Avvoltore<br />SANGIOVESE 75% | CABERNET SAUVIGNON 20% | SYRAH 5%<br /><br />Avvoltore is the flagship wine of the estate and the pride of its creator, Adolfo Parentini. Born from the union of Sangiovese, traditionally used in Tuscan reds, with Cabernet<br />Sauvignon and Syrah, not widely used and known in the Maremma in 1988, all grown in the clay-limestone soil of Poggio dell'Avvoltore, this wine marks a milestone in the<br />Moris family's legacy of producing high quality wines in the Tuscan Maremma.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES:<br />Colour: ruby red with purple highlights<br />Bouquet: complex, with hints of ripe fruit and vanilla<br />Taste: full-bodied and soft, with a distinct velvety feel<br />Serving temperature: 18°C<br />Pairing: great roasts<br /><br />TECHNICAL NOTES:<br />Production area: Poggio dell'Avvoltore, Tenuta Poggetti, Massa Marittima.<br />Soil: clayey, rich in skeleton, tendentially alkaline.<br />Exposure: South-West<br />Yield per hectare: 35 ql. of grapes<br /><br />PRODUCTION NOTES:<br />Harvest takes place the second and fourth week of September and the first and second week of October. Fermentation in cement tanks, with temperature control and two<br />daily pumpings over for the first 10 days. The wine remains for a further 15 days in contact with the skins before being drawn off and immediately put into 225-litre barriques<br />(80% new), where malolactic fermentation takes place. Maturation in wood lasts about a year, during which time the wine is racked. The wine remains in the bottle for six<br />months before being put on the market.<br />

Ronchedone<br />Red wine<br /><br />In the area where the first moraine hills rise, red wines of considerable depth and power are also obtained, and Ronchedone is an absolute demonstration of this. Strongly<br />desired from the moment it was felt that certain areas and certain microclimates were suitable for making a wine like this. Marzemino, Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet make<br />it a wine that cannot go unnoticed. The nose is very rich with notes of red fruits, macerated blueberries, marasca cherries under spirits, balsamic and jammy hints. The<br />palate is powerful and incisive, clean, savoury, with a fine acidity that is a sign of the Benaco soil. Ideal with red meats with medium and long cooking, game birds and fur,<br />mature cheeses, rich pastas and soups with meat.<br /><br />Technical data<br />Grape varieties used: Marzemino, Sangiovese and Cabernet 10%.<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey, loamy and sandy<br />Training system: Simple Guyot and spurred cordon<br />Type of vinification: maceration in steel with prolonged contact<br />Malolactic fermentation: carried out<br />Ageing and evolution: in barriques for 14 months, followed by 10 months in bottles<br />Alcohol content: 14.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.0 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.42 g/L<br />pH: 3.60<br />Dry extract: 36 g/L<br />

CABERNET SAUVIGNON<br /><br />This variety needs no introduction and has also found much space in Friuli. The low yields and strong stripping favour a more 'southern' maturation. Maceration is not too<br />long and during this phase great care is taken to separate the grape seeds. The result is a wine with an intense colour, warm aromas and a rounded taste, where the tannin<br />expresses itself above all with elegance.<br /><br />Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon<br />Denomination: IGT Venezia Giulia<br />Municipality of production: San Lorenzo - Corona - Romans (Gorizia)<br />Soil type: calcareous gravelly plateau (60/25 m asl)<br />Vineyard: Cultivated with organic fertilisation and integrated pest management (as per EU regulations) with no chemical weed control<br />Average age of vines: 15 years<br />Training system: Guyot 5.200 - 5.600 vines/ha<br />Production: 50 - 55 hl/ha<br />Harvesting: By hand with careful selection of the grapes<br />Alcohol content: 13%.<br />Serving temperature: 18 °C<br />Bottles produced: 110,000 (average)<br />Ageing potential 10 years<br />

Nipozzano Riserva 2019<br />Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG<br /><br />An emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, a historic Frescobaldi estate a few kilometres north-east of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is the symbol of the Tuscan<br />winemaking tradition and the indissoluble bond with the terroir.<br /><br />Climatic trends<br />At Castello Nipozzano, winter 2019 was characterised by long periods of sunshine with low temperatures. Spring, on the other hand, was cool, and the rains that fell<br />ensured good water reserves to face the hot summer days. The summer period was characterised by temperature fluctuations that helped to provide coolness during the<br />night, with the usual breezes from the slopes of the Apennines contributing in particular. The grapes were therefore accompanied to ripening by a combination of the warmth<br />of the sun and refreshing breezes; the bunches arrived at the harvest in perfect condition and the production expressed itself in wines typical of the area, marked by a good<br />acidic vein and silky tannins.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Variety: Sangiovese and complementary varieties<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The grapes, as soon as they were harvested, were immediately delivered to the cellar. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in<br />thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. At the end of this, the wine remained in the vats to complete maceration. Following racking, malolactic fermentation took place, also<br />conducted in stainless steel. At the end of the year, the wine was racked into barriques, where it matured for the following months. The further period in bottle allowed<br />Nipozzano 2019 to express itself to the full, making it a wine of exceptional expressive balance.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Nipozzano 2019 presents a lively ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by fruity scents such as wild berries, black cherry and elegant floral notes; wonderful freshness<br />expressed through balsamic hints. This is followed by roasted and spicy notes of pepper, nutmeg and coffee. The palate is rich, characterised by the elegant density of the<br />fruit and the final mineral freshness that make it balanced and persistent. The tannic texture is dense but not scratchy. The taste-olfactory correspondence is splendid.<br />
