Valpolicella Ripasso Castelforte is a Venetian red wine made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes that undergoes a second fermentation with the addition of exhausted Amarone marc: it releases a rich and full-bodied sensory profile, full of fruity hints of black cherry and cherries, oriental spices , hints of vanilla and light balsamic tips, while the sip is enveloping and of great persistence.
The authentic Chianti Classico. Only native vines, without Cabernet and Merlot, to maintain the typical formula of the most famous of Italian wines, without chasing the fashion that, using even South wines, darkens the beautiful ruby red of Sangioveto.
Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2017
DOC Venezia is a recent denomination established in 2011 to promote the wines of a land with a millenary winemaking tradition. It is located in the eastern Padan Plain and includes the provinces of Treviso and Venice. Here, the climate and environment are particularly suitable for the cultivation of various vines, including Pinot Grigio. This vine is the result of a bud-mutation of Pinot Nero, from which it acquired elegance and refinement.
Sparkling rose sweet wine from Piemonte, Italy.
Winery: Marchesi di Barolo
Grapes: Malvasia 100
Region: Malvasia di Castelnuovo don Bosco
A sparkling rose wine made exclusively from carefully picked Malvasia di Schierano grapes.
The perlage is fine and persistent. The colour is pale pink, almost cherry. The aromatic pallet is intense and musky reminiscent of clear scents of wild berries, blueberries and wild strawberries.
The flavour is sweet, slightly sparkling and it ignites the olfactory sensations.
Perlage is fine and abundant, while the color is straw-yellow with golden reflections. The aroma is intense, rich in aromatic scents – in particular, it reminds to the orange blossom, peach and apricot – in perfect balance with the low alcohol percentage and the acidity, never very high, which gives the product a pleasant freshness.
Sweet and aromatic wine well combined with desserts at the end of a meal and the classic nougat with hazelnuts. An ideal companion in moments of celebration and a nice refreshing drink at any time of the day, particularly after sports efforts.
In 1895, Federico Martinotti, invented a new method to create Spumante. By creating the secondary fermentation in a closed and sealed vat he found a way not only to make wines of consistently high quality, but also a way to do it more quickly in order to preserve the natural freshness of the grapes. The process is now: grapes to fermentation, secondary fermentation to bottle.
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.
Le Difese is the most recent addition to the much celebrated Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia) family of wines, producing its first vintage in 2002. It takes its name from the teeth of the wild boar, depicted in gold on this landmark label. No teeth in the wine however, as you’re treated to delicious flavours from mature Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese vines that blend to produce a seriously approachable and immensely enjoyable glass of wine.
Primarily made with Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), the wine is blended in perfect harmony with Sangiovese (30%), which is grown in the subzone of Chianti Rufina. This produces a distinctly Tuscan character and personality to the wine, leaving the “international” styles to its bigger brothers. A more youthful wine, it’s meant to be enjoyed together and with food, and to be appreciated by new drinkers as well as seasoned fans of Sassicaia and Guidalberto. Le Difese undergoes ageing in French oak barriques that were previously used for Sassicaia and Guidalberto. It can be said that all 3 wines were created using the same DNA!
The 2021 vintage shares more than the DNA of Guidalberto, it has the same seriously high quality and rather than being a “cheaper version”, provides an alternative vision of the estate and its wonderfully rich heritage in Tuscany.
Whilst stock is indeed limited (as with all wines made from this fabulous estate), Le Difese is the most approachable wine in the family and all the more reason to be snapped up quick!
