Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2018, Marchese di Barolo 75cl, 14%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Cannubi is the long, gradually rising hill in the centre of the Barolo area. Here, Serravallian and Tortonian soils meet and merge, creating bluish-gray marls rich in magnesium and manganese carbonates that take on a whitish-gray hue at the surface due to weathering: clays mixed with very fine sands, impregnated with a strong limestone content composed of magnesium and manganese carbonates. Their technical name is “Sant’Agata fossil marls”, but they are commonly called Toû and on average they comprise clays (55%), sands (30%) and limestone (15%). Surrounded by higher hills that protect it from bad weather and excessive flow of air, Cannubi enjoys a very special, unique microclimate.

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

In stock
  • ( 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.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 75cl, 14%

In stock
  • ( 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.
