High intensity fruit with notes of strawberry and strawberry jam, raisin, dried plum and balsamic aromas. Carlo and Alessandra fully respect the heritage of their region, Verona's most historic wine, by selecting perfectly healthy grapes from biodynamically cultivated vineyards. After about 4 months of drying, the grapes are taken to open oak winemakers...
The name given to it is a reminder of the difficulty that the fruit and the vine face in the conditions of the year. The bunches selected for this micro-pressing were traditionally pressed by foot and then pressed in a vertical wooden press. In this process the must was in prolonged contact with oxygen which is reflected in the oxidative colour of the...
The care and the philosophy in the winery does not change, since for the classic Mavrodaphne, which does not carry the organic certification, Slavos chooses gentle natural vinification of the grapes. The wine will mature for twelve months in 500lt barrels, exuding a pleasant herbal sensation, with fresher, red fruit than the organic Mavrodaphne and almost...

The harvest, as with all wines, is manual and the grapes are pressed whole in large concrete tanks where they ferment spontaneously. Maturation takes place in two large oval-shaped foudres and concrete tanks, and the wine is bottled unfiltered and...

Far from all viticultural and technological innovations, he produces his Saint-Joseph from the "fillet" of the great wine-growing zone, following techniques used by his ancestors. He plows the vineyard with the...

The tannins have excellent structure, as fine as cigarette paper, but "layered" on multiple levels that make it seem more...
"Les Champs des Vosger" is one of the wonderful Fixin, a designation of origin that has a much better terroir than its "low-key" presence in Burgundy suggests. Apparently this is a "key" for the energetic Galeyrand who with his wines gives a new dimension to such -less prominent- regions or vineyards in Burgundy. For Champs des Vosger he uses a 15-20%...
