Barbaresco is without doubt another feather in the cap of Italian winemaking. For us, it represents a dream come true.
Barbaresco is without doubt another feather in the cap of Italian winemaking and, as far as we are concerned, it represents an extraordinary project that had been in our minds for years. At long last, at the end of 2018, we were lucky enough to find some perfectly located vineyards, giving us the chance to fulfil our long-cherished dream.
WINE DESCRIPTION
The soil in the Barbaresco production zone offers us a very special expression of the Nebbiolo grape. These vineyards yield delicate and elegant wines with exceptional balance and finesse. The resulting expression is highly alluring and captivating.
Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2018, Marchese di Barolo 75cl, 14%
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.
Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco Magnum 1.5L, 14.5%
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.

Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG 75cl,15.5%
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%
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.
Cordero di Montezemolo Bricco Gattera 75cl, 14.5%
A Barolo of high standing, both austere and complex. Deep red garnet in color. Delicately spiced bouquet (notes of eucalyptus, licorice and menthol), mature fruit (liqueur soaked cherries, blackberries and prunes) and hints of violets and medicinal herbs. Powerful on the palate, lightly acidic and fresh. Lasting finish.
