Aromas of apricot, tobacco and chaga and a mouthfeel with a rich honeyed texture but freshened by a generous dose of acidity in excellent balance with the ripe fruit. A few years in bottle and it will develop a lovely smoky expression rather reminiscent of toasted bread and reminiscent of the great terroirs of the world, such as that of Chablis....
"Le Chatillons" is produced from vineyards in soils characterised mainly by gravel. The Pinot Gris is harvested early in order to preserve the freshness of the grapes. The nose "blooms" with a bouquet of crisp red fruits, rose petals and citrus fruits reminiscent of saguarine. Very elegant and soft on the palate, with lively fruit acidity and spicy notes...
The Valpolicella Classico of the Monte Dall'Ora winery is the perfect example of a red wine belonging to the so-called summer genre. The purity of the aromas of rose, mint, ripe strawberry and red cherry bring to mind more of a refreshing summer juice. The fine textured - so-so - tannins on the palate provide the dose of seriousness that even a cool...
For La Stropa the grape drying process is masterful, full of detail and without the use of technology. Strictly selected and healthy grapes are left for about 3 months in small wooden crates which are placed on top of each other in a well-ventilated and cool environment on the roof of the winery. From there on, fermentation in oak tanks is spontaneous and...
A classic Valpolicella is simply enjoyed without having to think any further. Camporenzo, however, is a wine that has other multifaceted dimensions besides enjoyment. The minerality flatters the fruit - pure, lively and expressive - the result of the minimalist philosophy that Carlo and Alessandra follow in vineyard and winery. The winemaking is clearly...
Leave the Amarone "La Stropa" in your cellar for a more special moment and enjoy Monte Dall' Ora's Ripasso "Sausto" when you want to get small doses of the richness and power of an Amarone. Cherries infused with alcohol, plum and raisins along with notes of mint and floral notes. Ripe yet fresh on the palate with very good tensions and robust, elegant...
In the background, the noble hints of oak provide the framework for the extremely ripe fruit to "shine", reminiscent of white peach and ripe lemon. The palate is delightfully delicious, medium-bodied with nice creamy textures and notes reminiscent of pastry cream but with plenty of freshness due to acidity and minerality. In its youthful period you will...
La Fortune” ferments in oak vats, while 2/3 of the grapes are kept whole and unbroken. Contact with the grape skins lasts 12-14 days to avoid astringency and reinforce the fruit. The wine ages for 10-12 months in 1st to 3rd-use barrels. On the palate, there are fruit aromas such as fresh strawberries and herbaceous notes on the nose. Cru La Fortune is a...
Nicolas Bourget tries to render the terroir of Paros without intermediate interventions and winemaking fioritures. His approach is as simple as possible. Native yeasts take over to "run" the alcoholic fermentation, after directly pressing the whole bunches of Assyrtiko, and the whole process takes place in stainless steel tanks where the wine remains in...
The grapes are organically grown (without certification) and come mainly from the mountainous area of Thapsani in the centre of the island. The "Nees Rizes" are not so new since they come from a combination of vineyards, the oldest of which in cups and traditional "aplotaria" are 150 years old. The vinification is entirely non-intrusive, with spontaneous...
Another winemaking process crafted with the finesse and elegance imparted by whole-cluster fermentation, which enhances the wine’s signature spicy fruit and floral character. The wine undergoes a total maceration of 40 days and is pressed using an old vertical press, just as it was traditionally done in the past. Malolactic fermentation takes place...
Probably the closest you'll get to an archetypal Chianti Classico, but one that is not just for immediate consumption, but worth waiting a few years for. If simple Chianti Classico or Meraviglie epitomize the casual and straightforward style of wine, here we have a more mature and aged version that manages to balance both pleasure and seriousness. If you...
