“The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits impressive balance and integrity. It contrasts the delicate sweetness of the fruit very nicely against the more ethereal and licoricelike aromas that come so naturally to Sangiovese grown in the spectacular Montalcino appellation. This is a fine wine from Camigliano, an estate that absolutely excels in classic and slightly cooler vintages like 2013. The winemaking is also impeccable, with balanced intensity and integrated tannins. There is a playful note of cherry sweetness on the close that I very much identify with the distinctive Camigliano wine identity. Some 150,000 bottles were produced. Congratulations on a wine well made.”

Feudi del Pisciotto consists of 82 acres of vineyards planted in 2002 that sit at 820 feet above sea level just under four miles as the crow flies from the sea. The property, therefore, benefits from two climatic moderators: the elevation, which allows the vineyards to enjoy the sea breeze, and the sea itself, a great mitigator of temperature.

Located inside the triangle created by Piazza Almerina (known for its extraordinary and intact Roman villa), Caltagirone (famous for its ceramics) and Vittoria (famous for Cerasuolo di Vittoria, the only Sicilian DOCG), the vineyards of Feudi del Pisciotto dedicate half their vines to the red wine king of the island, Nero d’Avola, and half to international varieties such as Cabernet, Merlot, Semillon and Gewürztraminer. Inside the winery, Feudi del Pisciotto prides itself on combining history with high technology in the cellar in order to reach the highest levels of the Sicilian wine production.

Part of the Pisciotto reserve, famous for its beauty, the abundance of cork oaks and the presence of many other species of vegetation, Feudi del Pisciotto also enjoys relicts of its long history, including an extraordinary millstone that was once used by the ancient Romans to make wine.

Inspired to preserve the rich history that surrounds them, Feudi del Pisciotto collaborated with some of Italy’s finest fashion designers, including Versace, Valentino, Missoni, Carolina Marengo, Alberta Ferretti, Gianfranco Ferré and Giambattista Valli, to create the packaging for Pisciotto’s designer wine line. A portion of the proceeds from these modern wines is donated to the restoration of fine Sicilian art

Berg Rottland is a steep site with a slope of 33%. It is situated on the western edge of town, near the Rhine shoals known as the "Binger Loch". The name is related to the German verb "reuten/rotten/roden" meaning to clear land for cultivation. In this case, it probably refers to the fallow land (that needed to be cleared) that was given to wine-growers in Rüdesheim and neighboring Eibingen by the archbishop of Mainz between 1031 and 1051. The soils are quite stony, and vary within the site: slate, quartzite and gravel, partially covered with loess. Thanks to the optimal microclimate with its high degree of sunlight and solar radiation, grapes ripen very well in the Berg Rottland site.

Sant’Agata winery is located in Scurzolengo, one of the seven communities in the Asti province of Piedmont where the Ruché Castagnole DOCG wine is produced.

A family-owned wine estate, established in 1916, was founded when Stefano Cavallero built his farmhouse and wine-cellar in the traditional style. The winery has since been managed by Franco Cavallero and his brother, Claudio (oenologist since 1990).

Cantine Sant’Agata’s vineyards insist upon an ecologically sensitive approach to pest control, which will ensure low yield per hectare and non toxic ambient impact. The wines are produced in very limited areas which stand out as some of the most important in the Piedmont region today. The winery’s product range includes the famous and popular Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Grignolino, along with others which are more unique and sophisticated such as Ruché. Sant’Agata also produces excellent Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino d’Asti, and two types of Monferrato Rosso.

Our vineyards, cultivated mainly by the Guyot system, produce wines with Denomination of Controlled Origin and Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin.

One of the great appellations of the Côte de Nuits both in terms of size and of reputation, Gevrey-Chambertin is characterized by a wide variety of different terroirs. No white wines are found here, only Pinot Noir is cultivated. Our vines are planted on the slopes around the mouth of the Lavaux valley. This valley has a strong influence on the growth cycle of the vines, the ripening of the grapes and gives tremendous respectability and precision to the wine.

Prior to 1968, making non-vintage rosé champagne was virtually unthinkable. It was in the midst of a cultural revolution that the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt gave it its credentials. This daring wine combines real structure with freshness and a soft, vinous character. In its elegant bottle inspired by the times of French King Henri IV, Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier soon made a name for itself worldwide.

A fine bead and an elegant colour. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier’s colour evolves gently from a pretty raspberry tint to a hint of salmon. In this colour range, the brightest is a pink with subtle shades of melon and raspberry. It owes it quaint name Cuisse de nymphe émue (hot pink, in English), to a rose bush. The bead is so fine that it seems to dance in the glass and then on the palate.

Subtle, forthright, and very fresh on the nose. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier suggests a basketful of small berry fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants, and morello and black cherries. The overwhelming sensation is one of freshness.

Fruit dominates the palate. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier is a lively, well-rounded wine which combines structure and freshness. The forthright, slightly sharp attack is like breathing the heady aromas of a freshly-picked basket of berry fruits – a symphony of aromas with a gently-rounded, tender finish.

With its composition marked by a high percentage of Chardonnay, Laurent-Perrier Brut is the signature House style, offering freshness, lightness and elegance, consistently showcasing the essential qualities sought by Laurent-Perrier.

50% Chardonnay (a particularly high proportion), 35% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier. Over 55 crus, rated an average 94% are used to make it. Up to 20% of set-aside wine is also sometimes included to guarantee the quality and regularity of the Laurent-Perrier style.

A fresh, delicate colour. Laurent-Perrier Brut is discretion itself with a pale gold colour that highlights its delicate, persistent bead. A delicate nose, and balanced freshness. Floral notes, like the reminiscence of a perfume floating in air, come together in a delicious harmony. This naturally elegant ‘aesthete’ reveals itself little by little, combining notes of citrus and stone fruit with an pure creaminess.

Mellowness, finesse and freshness combine to achieve a remarkable balance, in a succession of constantly shifting taste sensations and a long, satisfying finish.

Taittinger Brut Réserve is blend of Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (60%) wines from over 35 different vineyards and vintages matured to perfection. This high proportion of Chardonnay, unique among fine non-vintage champagnes, and a minimum ageing of three years in the cellars, where it reaches the peak of aromatic maturity, make Taittinger Brut Réservea delicately balanced champagne, known for its consistently excellent quality
the world over.

Taittinger considers it an honour to produce a Brut champagne every year without exception.

Brilliant golden yellow in colour. Bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. It also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights, its rich, complex nose opens up immediately. Initially dark cherry, plum and violets, clean, fine and elegant. It then opens up to wider, more complex notes of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, chocolate and leather with a menthol finish. In the mouth the elegance of a full, crisp body comes through immediately without warmer notes. Its cherry, plum and blueberry nuances are very long lasting.

It goes ideally well with game, roasts and grilled meat or medium mature cheeses.
Serve at 18°C but no more.

The selection carried out during the grape harvest in Nebbiolo vineyards - located above-all in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio - produces this Langhe Nebbiolo.

A young wine featuring all the variety’s aristocratic characteristics, but in a slightly detached style that makes it decidedly fragrant and tasty: an attractive, deep ruby-red colour; a powerful, fragrant nose hinting at raspberries, wild strawberries, jam and geraniums, becoming more rounded over time, as spicy and ethereal overtones are added.

Unquestionably a thoroughbred, though it is equally capable of taking the place at the table set aside for younger wines.

Their blending produces elegant wines which are perfectly at home on an elegant table in large crystal glasses, accompanying cheerful conversation among friends.

This pure Chardonnay has qualities of great value: a straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights; a full nose bursting with clear sensations of limoncello, mint, green apples and raspberries; and a lingering, dry taste, full of personality.

Fragrances of wild berry fruit, such as blueberry and red currant, predominate on the nose; crisp notes of citrus follow, succeeded in turn by spicier impressions of forest underbrush, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, and black pepper, all lifted by intriguing nuances of star anise and China Calassaja bark. It develops full-bodied and warm in the mouth, with a forceful suite of tannins. This is a wine of incredible concentration and near-endless progression and finish.

2007 - The appearance is a very intense ruby red. Rich aromas of blueberry, currant, blackberry, and sour cherry mingle nicely with a hint of violet and spicier notes of cardamom, star anise, tobacco, and liquorice. Impressions of coffee, cocoa, and minerals complete the bouquet. The entry on the palate is lavish with elegantly integrated tannins. The wine is full bodied, well structured, and reveals decisive characteristics of the Montalcino region. The finish is lengthy and pleasingly intense.

Intense and charming with lots of cherries, plum and blackberries on the nose and complex, good structure and prolonged finish.

Intensely aromatic with apple and honey notes. Impressively fresh on the palate, expressing a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Its fine bead makes for a persistent and elegant finish.

The Nipozzano Chianti Rufina DOCG is a classic Chianti. Appearing a deep, purple-edged ruby red, the bouquet holds solid fruit notes of wild blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and dark cherry, gradually yielding to more pungent impressions of sage, rosemary, vanilla, and cinnamon. That spiciness segues onto the palate, and then into a finish that ends with a flourish of balsam, black pepper, and cocoa powder. The mid-palate shows alcoholic warmth and roundness, while the tannins and acidity are noticeable, adding to the wine’s overall harmony.

Producer: Tommasi
Region: Veneto

A deep, full yet refined wine, this Amarone from Tommasi sports an intense ruby red robe and a warm, ripe bouquet of raisin, cherry and baked plum. The palate is mouth-filling but not overpowering, with a well-integrated package of smooth tannins, round acidity and alcohol heft. The fruity notes of mixed berry jam and baked cherry tart along hints of cinnamon and tobacco return on the finish leaving an enduring, impressive after taste.

Recommended with white and red meat, game and fresh cheeses.

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity hints of cherry, strawberry and liquorice. Full and rich, with a good body and lively and pleasant tannins.

Serve at 16-18° C. Recommended with roasted and grilled meats, seasoned cheeses and spicy soups.

Vineyards in the townships of Monforte, Castiglione Falletto, and Serralunga. The soils from the Tortonian-Messinian period - the so-called “Sant’Agata fossil marls” - are particularly rich in calcareous clays and elements such as magnesium and manganese.

A bright garnet red in color with ample and complex aromas of violets and berry fruit, full and velvety in flavor and very balanced. A good structured body combined with a complex finish.

Its structure and body make it an ideal match for meat and game dishes and for cheese.

Praise from the Press [94] Wine Enthusiast — Top 100 Wines of 2015 (#52)
“Sprightly sweet Riesling fills the glass with an opulent floral perfume of rose petals and orange blossoms. It’s profoundly aromatic, yet remarkably elegant, balanced by layers of crisp honeydew and peach flavors. A zesty strike of acidity freshens the finish.” (2013 vintage)

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:

Blend: 70% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2014 vintage was the most challenging in our memory, but has nevertheless enabled us to produce high quality wines that give immense pleasure. The late ripening of the grapes have made it possible to express the crispness and freshness of the fruit to best effect. What is striking is the high quality of the tannins on the palate: silky, refined and without any sharp edges, albeit with a lower density than in hotter vintages. Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a balanced, harmonious and very drinkable wine thanks in particular to the beautiful Merlots of 2014.”
- Axel Heinz

Producer: Château D'Arsac
Appellation: Margaux

A dark and sublime robe of red. The first nose turns to the fruit (blackcurrant, currant). The wedding of the oak, toasted and vanilla aromas, gets married pleasantly with notes of fruits in the alcohol and roasted aromas. The attack is frank. The mouth is fat and reminds us of the aromas of matured Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins are silky. Final is soft and reminds us of the notes of toasted roast.

The vineyards for Burg Ravensburg wines are situated in the gypsum-copper rich soils around the historic Burg Ravensburg Castle. These are some of the oldest vine-growing sites in Germany and are unique for their geological formation as well as for their topographical location. As a result, the wines produced demonstrate great minerality and balance.

The grapes for these wines are from the premium vineyards of Sulzfeld and its neighboring villages. This is a great value for money Riesling. It is delicate and fruit-driven and ideal for everyday drinking.

Pairs well with fish, salad and poultry or good on its own !

It is made from Sangiovese and Colorino grapes that ripen slowly due to the quite high location of the vineyards; 30% of the maturation occurs in barrels for 8 months and the remaining in steel. To the eye, the wine has a ruby red color and the smell is typical of an elegant wine, fine and fresh with notes and aromas of red fruit, typical of the excellent preservation of the fruit. The palate is well balanced with acidity and tannins, which is evidence of its freshness.
