Product Description:

"Nero d’Avola is the grape variety that best represents Sicily’s winemaking identity. This wine, obtained from grapes scrupulously chosen from the estate finest selection, expresses an absolute purity, a extraordinary elegance and a great aging potential.

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

The potential of the volcanic terrain descending towards the sea, together with Riccardo Cotarella, a respected wine maker with a particular interest in reviving and enhancing wines from southern Italy, brought about the birth, in 1993, of a product that aroused an incredible amount of excitement.

Since in birth in 1994, Terra di Lavoro has achieved great public and critical success around the world, credited ever among the best Italy wines. Our vineyards have been planted on family land in the Gallucio and Sessa Aurunca districts of the region which, until the first years of ‘900 was the province named Terra di Lavoro. The color of this wine is dark and intense. The aromatic panorama starts from red berries with balsamic resin with spicy peaks. Memorable mineral flavor which represents the Terra di Lavoro backbone from the first vintage. Tannins are mild and elegant. Persistence is long, very long.

At the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, the vineyards for this appellation form a vast amphitheatre on the slopes that stretch across 4 villages including that of Montagny-lès-Buxy. This 301-hectare appellation is exclusively devoted to the cultivation of Chardonnay grapes. Its terroir is often compared with that of Mercurey and its wines rival their white Mercurey counterparts. It was the Romans who introduced viticulture to the region, and, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance the appellation was referred to as "Côte de Buxy". The vines are planted at altitudes of between 280 and 380 metres in clay-limestone soil with a certain proportion of Jurassic Lias and Trias marls. The relatively steep slopes benefit from south/south-eastern exposure.

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.

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.

Producer: Frescobaldi
Region: Tuscany

A deep ruby and almost opaque in its concentration, the nose is ultra-complex, delivering inebriating draughts of wild blackberry, raspberry, redcurrant, dried plum and dates, delicately lifted by floral impressions of sweet rose and violets. Gradually emerging to deepen the rich bouquet even further are spicier nuances of vanilla, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and roasted espresso beans, which act as a delicious foil to pungent notes of balsam and herbs. A crisp, nervy acidity complements a suite of silky tannins, and both contribute to a palate that is notable for its warmth and roundness. A finely-balanced, leisurely progression culminates in a lengthy, subtly-aromatic finish.

A purple-rimmed ruby red, so intense as to be almost opaque. It possess intense aromas of wild cherry and blackberry, both fresh-picked and as preserves, in addition to roasted hazelnuts, espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla, and cocoa butter, with spicy impressions of clove. The palate is rich and smooth in the mouth, with an emphatic suite of smooth, velvety tannins and very lengthy development and finish.

The wine shows itself with a ruby red medium rich colour. It offers a fruity appearance. Notes of red berries as raspberry and blueberry are combined with notes of spices, vanilla and the typical Pinot Noir hint of bitter-almond.

On the palate its first impression is a soft and smooth start. The fruit of the red berries is mouth filling - again raspberry, now blackberry and a hint of spice. Mellow and still fresh. The bitter-almond note keeps it delicate. A decent acidity gives the wine a good structure and makes it a good match with food. An elegant Pinot Noir with a decent body and good length.

A deep red garnet. Nose of fruity and spicy sensations, with a hint of cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and tar. A warm, full, dry and complex palate, ending with a long and persistent finish.

Chardonnay made its first appearance on the hills of the Langhe during the late 1800’s, but most growers only began to take it into consideration about a hundred years later. This is when, in 1985, Piazzo too decided to plant some vines of this variety in San Rocco d’Elvio.

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.

Vineyards: various, on the hills of Treiso and the San Rocco Seno d’Elvio district of Alba

Maturing: 12 months in medium and large-sized oak barrels
Ageing in the bottle: at least 6 months stored lying down in an underground cellar

A deep garnet red with orange nuances. Nose of red jam, dried violets, with spicy overtones. Palate is warm and dry, with a long aromatic finish.

Vines: Made using Tempranillo and other varieties of grapes, all of them grown in our estate around the Benedictine Monastery, planted in 1985.

Ageing: Aged for 18 months in new French-oak casks and then for a further 6 months in 10,000-litre French-oak “foudres”.

Tasting notes: Intense black-cherry colour. On the nose, dominant aromas of jammy fruit and balsamic oak with reminders of herbal infusions and tea, coconut, milky hints, cocoa and spices. On the palate it reveals good backbone and balance, elegance and lots of flavour.

2006 - Luce Brunello appears ruby red with garnet highlights. 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.

Producer: Castello Banfi
Region: Tuscany

Brunello di Montalcino is a red Italian wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino in Tuscany. It has one of the warmest and driest climates in that area with the grapes ripening up to a week earlier than in nearby regions.

Made from 100% Sangiovese, this example from the famed Castello Banfi is rich yet not over-powering. Sporting a ruby robe, its nose exhibits lots of ripe cherry, blackberry, dried plum and liquorice. It has medium-full body with round and chewy tannins and the finish is elegant and impressive with tones of violet flowers, dried herbs and spices.

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

Producer: Frescobaldi
Region: Tuscany

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.

Rated Robert Parker 90pts

The vines producing BEAU RIVAGE are growing on the slopes situated between the Garonne and the Dordogne Rivers. This part of the country is entitled to the Appellation Bordeaux Rouge, Bordeaux Blanc and Bordeaux Rose. In this region, close to the city of Bordeaux, Borie-Manoux, a long-established and traditional wine merchant, have selected the best quality and named it BEAU RIVAGE, due to the exceptional exposure of the vineyards alongside both Rivers.

Tasting: Beautiful pale yellow, good maturity and delicate aromas offering a lot of freshness.

Serving suggestion: Recommended on sea-foods, fish, white meats, some cheese and as an aperitif.

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.

Brand: Tommasi
Region: Valpolicella

Youthful and exuberant, this Ripasso (which is made from re-fermented grape skins of its Amarone production), entices you with aromas of black fruit, dark cherries, plums, sweet spice and oak. The richness of the nose makes it seem as if this would be an alcoholic fruit bomb, but the palate is restrained, dry, with a touch of elegance and maturity. It is medium-bodied with acidity and tannins in perfect harmony, leading to an intense, slightly bitter finish.

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)

TASTING NOTES:
This vibrant, stylish Riesling shows best in its youth – up to five years post-vintage. Low alcohol levels lend it the nuanced elegance and complexity necessary to perfectly complement a wide range of dishes.

VINEYARD NOTES:
Grapes for our Gutsriesling are harvested from the areas bordering our top classified sites on the Kiedrich Gräfenberg; the medium to deep soil is composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam; and the steep, southwest facing vineyards include inclines of up to 60 %.

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.”
