For those with more than a passing interest in the Bordeaux region, Chateau Falfas is not just located in a beautiful terroir, just 1km from the Gironde coast. Véronique Cochran has been biodynamically farming the 20 hectares of vineyards since 1988, following in the footsteps of her father François Bouchet, who was a biodynamic consultant to estates such...
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...
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...
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...
The grapes come from a single vineyard at a very high altitude of 650 meters south of the Archanes area. The vineyard is 17 years old and dry with a very low yield per hectare and the soil is stony with a slight slope. The two varieties were vinified separately with long macerations while only the prorogos was used and to emphasize the fruity...
This wine draws on the tradition of Piemonte but equally of Burgundy. On the sandy soils of Lessona, Nebbiolo acquires a bouquet of aromas like rose, wild cherry and wild grapefruit with notes of tobacco, dried herbs and lively mineral dimension. On the palate its tannins are firm but velvety; the acidity is delicious same as the earthy dimension of the...
