Sassicaia 2021 Box 6x75cl 14%

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Tuscan wine royalty, Tenuta San Guido, releases Sassicaia 2021, the latest vintage of its true iconic flagship wine this February. The 2021, available through importers Armit Wines, has been eagerly anticipated following favourable vintage conditions on the rolling slopes of Bolgheri, towards Tuscany’s stunning western coastline. We sent The Buyer’s very own Italophile, Mike Turner, to taste the wines with Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta and find out more about what proves to be another much sought-after triumph for the team at Tenuta San Guido.

The Sassicaia 2021 Bolgheri Sassicaia of Tenuta San Guido was obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) grapes raised in the prestigious DOC of the same name which is located within Tenuta San Guido, located in the territory of Bolgheri (LI). The vineyards of origin are situated on calcareous soils rich in marl, stones and stones (which give the wine its name) and partly clayey, located at an altitude between 100 and 300 metres above sea level. For this red-masterpiece, the alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature between 28° and 30° C without the addition of external yeasts. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barriques (for 1/3 new wood and for the remainder of the first and second passage) where it was aged for 24 months, keeping the masses separated by vineyard origin. The assembly was in fact carried out only close to bottling. Before release, Sassicaia 2021 rested for a certain period of time in the bottle.

Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2017

The 2017 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is a towering wine that shows impeccable concentration, richness and tight balance. The wine opens to deep layers of black fruit, spice, smoky mesquite and campfire ash. It shows big tannic structure that comes with lots of fruit weight and textural padding. But no matter, this is a wine you’ll want to put aside before drinking!

  • ( 0 Customer Review )
The 20th anniversary bottling of Testamatta made, from the 2019 vintage, in brand new winemaking facilities in Florence. This just shines from the moment it’s poured. Layered and complex this is a gem of a wine filled with cherry, raspberry, damson and caramel notes alongside a savoury edge that makes it so moreish. Tannins that support but don’t overwhelm give a nice overall weight to the palate while the flavous linger on the long finish. Made from old vines on stony soils on the Tuscan hilltops. Grapes are selected and sourced from the best five vineyards.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 75cl, 14%

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

This elegant, traditional style Brunello is produced at a mid-sized estate located in the southern hills of Montalcino, between the towns of Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, one of the most quintessentially picturesque areas in Tuscany.

The Casisano vineyard enjoys southeastern exposure and is composed of various soil types. It is particularly rich in galestro stone.

The wine sees 25 days of skin maceration and is then aged in Slavonian oak casks for 3 years, followed by an additional six months of bottle aging.

The beginning of 2016 saw an increase in precipitation, but a complete absence of snow. Spring was characterized by average temperatures and rains, which started to become more and more scarce in the middle of June, the last ten days of which were very sunny with good ventilation. This seasonal trend brought the plants to an excellent vegetative balance.

The summer passed with little rain and excellent diurnal temperature variations, especially between August and September. These conditions, combined with good ventilation, allowed for a harvest of healthy grapes with important organoleptic characteristics. The harvest ended in mid-October, benefitting from long dry and well-ventilated periods. The harvested grapes thus manifested a remarkable complexity of aromas, elegant tannins and excellent natural acidity. All features that immediately indicated a vintage of the highest quality.

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco Magnum 1.5L, 14.5%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Azelia’s Barolo is ruby ​​red in color with garnet hues. It is sweet on the nose, with hints of cherry, blackcurrant and licorice that we find in the mouth with fruity tannins. A union of characteristics: aromaticity and finesse with power and body at the same time.
A part of the bunches from the Riserva Bricco Voghera vineyard always gives its superb contribution.

PAIRING : Thanks to its flavour and body, it is the ideal wine to pair with elaborate and rich dishes such as all recipes based on truffles, meat dishes, first courses based on porcini mushrooms, game, mature cheeses and it is also perfect when paired with dry pastries or chocolate.

CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 75cl, 14.5%

  • ( 0 Customer Review )
CastelGiocondo is a unique place in Montalcino, where the diverse exposures and soils – galestro, clay and Pliocene sand – create a Brunello with infinite layers. With complex notes that evolve over time, there is always something new to discover, savour and remember.”
Vinification and ageing: Such a regular climate trend meant that the grapes could be harvested by hand without any particular difficulties, undergoing a thorough selection process on the sorting benches once they reached the cellar. Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with frequent pumping over, especially during the early stages. The wine was then aged in large wooden barrels, where it was able to mature and become more refined until it achieved perfect harmony. CastelGiocondo Brunello is only ready to be placed on the market 5 years after the harvest and following further ageing in the bottle

Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG 75cl,15.5%

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Ca’ Florian is the heart of Tommasi, our oldest vineyards, and the intimate and coveted place that we have called home since 1902. There could be no better place to honor our humble beginnings and no better way to do it than by dedicating this single-vineyard to our top Amarone Riserva. Just next door to the house where our grandfather Giacomo settled, are the family’s first vineyards. Here, we have preserved every living memory of tradition, from the “marogne” dry-stone wall terraced vineyards with the pergola veronese trellising, to the withering of the grapes on the “arele”, the handmade bamboo racks. Each vintage counting less than 9,000 bottles, conveys the core values of timeless simplicity and elegance in our winemaking. Forget it in the cellar for an unforgettable moment in a decade or two.

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

The Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino is a first-class red wine. It has a wonderfully dense, ruby red color. This single-varietal Italian wine has wonderfully fragrant and complex notes of blackberries in the glass. There are also hints of forest floor and vanilla.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require residual sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety on the palate. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of blackberry.

Deep ruby ​​red colour rich in garnet notes.

But it is on the palate that the wine shows its extreme elegance and harmony of flavours: at the same time, it reveals a harmonious and velvety yet robust and complex character, dry and full-bodied, generous, and austere.
