The vineyards where Moscato is grown are to be found on the hills of Mango that look out from on high over the setting sun, and on the gentler slopes of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. Vinified together they result in a delicate, fragrant wine with aromatic notes.

A subtle liveliness intensifies the fragrance of the straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose is fruity, featuring yellow peach, rose petals, honey, lime blossom and sage among the varietal’s typical aromatic notes. Sweet, fresh and engaging on the mouth, with teasing moreish acidity.
At the table it is recommended above all with desserts at the end of a meal, especially with fresh and dry cakes or mini pastries..

Gavi di Gavi made from Cortese grapes from the town of Gavi on the mountains of Piedmont. Well-balanced wine, with peaches, apples, spices and minerality on the palate. Goes well with fried foods and mushrooms.

the Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali shows a ruby red colour verging to garnet, on the nose it is rich in ripened fruit and black cherry and mixed berries are recognisable together with balsamic and spiced notes. On the mouth it is full, powerful and well-balanced. Its finish is incredibly long, an excellent wine!

This Tuscan “Super Value” is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma called Rompicollo. The vineyard benefits from southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a soil rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.

Producer Information

Tommasi’s passion for wine, and the desire to discover and select the very best of Italian winemaking, has taken us to Puglia. Around 80 hectares of land have been purchased in Manduria, in the Salento area, one of the finest zones for the cultivation of the Primitivo grape, where viticulture has extremely ancient origins, dating back to the time of Magna Graecia.

The property, which lies about 6 km from the Ionian coast, also includes a manor house called “Masseria” dating back to the early 1900s, a typical complex of agricultural buildings which originally acted as an organisational centre for all of the farming operations. Following refurbishment, the Masseria now houses a winery of 700 sqm complete with vinification and maturation facilities.
Vineyards

The vineyard has a southern exposure with limestone and clay soils.

5,500 vines planted per hectare in the guyot system.
Winemaking

Ten to twelve days fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by fifteen months ageing in oak casks and six months in bottle.
Tasting Note

Intense, deep red ruby in colour with hints of plum, blackberry, raspberry and spice on the nose. Aromas or coffee, pepper and chocolate add an extra layer of complexity. On the palate, Dionysos is intense, elegant and velvety with smooth tannins and a long finish.
Food Pairing

Perfect with savoury dishes such as red meat, pork, aged cheeses. Equally delicious with Spaghetti Bolognese or the classic "orecchiette".

Brunello is the prince of Montalcino wines, produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes picked by hand from the oldest vines in the farm.
After a careful fermentation at controlled temperature, Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino is aged for three years in French oak barrels.
After being aged in wood, the wine is bottle aged: this is an essential process in guaranteeing the pleasantness and the complexity that have made the Brunello di Montalcino world-famous.

Created in 1880, the 'Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes' is an iconic wine from the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation. The story began when Edouard Amouroux obtained the famous plot of Syrah vines, through his marriage, located at the place known as Tresquoy. The property owes its name to the oratory dedicated to St Mark which stands on the edge of the plot. This terroir's great quality helped this wine to quickly become a leading product of the appellation.

Complete de-stemming, partial crushing depending on the grape, the plots and the level of maturity. Part of the Syrah and Cinsault is cold pre-fermented at 8°C for 4 days. The other grapes are put into vats and fermentation takes place between 22 and 24°C in order to achieve a slower fermentation, encouraging varietal and aromatic extraction over tannic extraction. Post-fermentation maceration was carried out at between 26 and 28°C in 2014. Extraction is carried out by gentle pump-overs and
release to ensure extraction of the finest tannins.

First mentioned as far back as 1120, fourteenth century Morey was a place of asylum for Cistercian monks who appeared to have possessed numerous vineyards and even a winery by 1306. The appellation extends from Chambolle-Musigny to Gevrey-Chambertin and covers around 148 hectares, 80% of which are planted with grapes for red wines. Les Chaffots indicates places where hay barns used to stand. Elsewhere, the name is "Echaffaud" (scaffold), forks etc. So it is probably the place where those sentenced to death were executed.
The plot is located in the Premiers Crus appellation area above "Clos Saint-Denis". The wines are planted on fossil stones, on a very steep slope.

Located south of Dijon, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation is the top village of the Côte de Nuits. In 1847, by royal order of King Louis Philippe, the name Chambertin was attached to Gevrey and officially became Gevrey-Chambertin. With the deformation of Les Chesaux coupled with a bad cut, we arrive at Les Échesaux more or less spelled. It finally Aux Echezeaux who imposed in Gevrey. This designation comes from the Latin Casellum: secondary dwellings on a domain.
The plot is located just below "Clos des Ormes" and south of the famous "Charmes-Chambertin". The vines are planted on a brown soil with around 40% clay content, lava and iron ore. The soils are less porous than Premiers Crus. However this climate shows good typicity thanks to the presence of limestone.

Coteaux Bourguignons is the new appellation of the Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire wine since the 2011 vintage, refering to the famous hills of Burgundy. In order to extract the best of the Côte de Nuits terroir, our Bourgogne Coteaux Bourguignons is exclusively elaborated with Pinot Noir variety.

This wine is a blend of different plots of Côtes de Nuits. Vines are growing up in a clay-limestone soil. Some Villages appellations can be folded in Coteaux Bourguignons which is give this wine its high quality.

Of the 33 A.O.C "Grands Crus" that account Burgundy, 4 ¼ are located on Morey-Saint-Denis. Indeed, Morey is "sharing" a small space of Bonnes-Mares with Chambolle-Musigny. "The Bonnes Mares" were named so after the discovery of a bas-relief of the goddesses "Mères". We know that this female trinity, protector of crops, and whose cult spread in the Roman era, presided over the benefits of the earth.
Our plot is located at the top of the hill, Morey-Saint-Denis side. The soils are calcareous clay with the presence of white marl. Frequently we find fossils and shells

There are two potential origins to the name Nuits-Saint-Georges. The first is said to have come from Nux, meaning "nut" in Latin. The other is said to be Nuithon, a barbarian tribe associated with the Burgundy people. In 1680, Louis 14th, suffering from a digestive disorder, was advised by his doctor to drink a glass of Nuits-Saint-Georges every day. The appellation extends over 175 hectares and produces wines with good structure that age extremely well.
The vines of this parcel are more than 50 years. The soils are from gravel to silt down from the Côte and the alluvium of the valley of Meuzin.

Made from Sauvignon Blanc vines averaging 20 years old, grown on a plot of local flint soils famous for their minerality and finesse. This is good, typical Sancerre - citrus fruit and gooseberry aromas on the nose, with mineral and floral notes coming through. Full and silky mouth-feel with a light fruit sweetness. White blossom and citrus flavours, with stony minerality and a touch of exotic fruit. Dry, crisp, with fresh zingy acidity and a lean finish. Good with fish and goats cheese.

A complex wine, striking a keen balance between mineral aromas and explosive flavours on the palate. Capable of being the best of the Chablis Grands Crus it is one of the most respected. Les Preuses offers an exceptional ageing capacity.

A soft and elegant wine, the Montée de Tonnerre is situated in the same line as the Grand Crus. The notable white clay helps to develop intense fruit and floral aromas. The older vines add the depth and complexity in the mouth. Regarded by many as the best and most consistent Premier Cru in Chablis

This vineyard, situated in the lieu-dit of Les Pargues, was replanted over 40 years ago using a technique of propagation whereby cuttings for the vines were selected from the best vines already in the vineyard and not from a clone. This rarely used technique is known as “Selection Massale”. These old uncloned vines produce extremely tiny yields and express a diversity of aromas from the Chablisien terroir.

“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.”

Descendants of the Counts of Armagnac, the Chevaliers d'Aux were the first owners of the domain in1632.
Considered as an asset of the country, it was expropriated in the 4th year of the Revolution and turned
into a relay station for horse-drawn carriages. It was better known early in the 19th century by the name of
"Pataches". An emblem of reference of Nord du Medoc vintages, known for its famous "calcareous plateau
of Begadan", with its shallow clayey soil, Château Patache d'Aux produces powerful, concentrated wines
that age extremely well.

Nice gradual change of colour to red brick. Hints of fruit together with an honest, complex woody fragrance.
Supple and mellow tannins. Fullness and volome on the palate. Long and harmonious finish.
Grilled, braised, roasted meats or in sauce.

Château D'Hanteillan is an historical domain in Haut-Médoc, mentioned as early as the 12th century in a
bull of Pope Alexander III where it figures among the assets of the Abbey of Vertheuil. The property came
under the ownership of many "Cru Bourgeois" families before being owned in 1972 by the Mathieu-Blasco
family, contractors originally from the Limousin region, breeders, captains of industry and lovers of wine.
Labelled "cru bourgeois supérieur" in 2003, it has been managed since 2010 by Madame Catherine Blasco
with the support of her team. Located in the commune of Cissac, belonging to theHaut-Médoc appellation,
adjacent to Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac, Château D'Hanteillan has its vineyard set on a lovely gravelly hilltop
neighbouring several prestigious classified Grands Crus.


Un explosion of forest fruits (blackberries and bilberries) on the palate predominates tasting when young. A
wine of great richness heightened by flavouring tannins and magnified by an aromatic complexity revealing
spiced nuances of clove and vanilla. Smoky and flowery notes (dried rose petals) are revealed several years
after being bottled.
Ideal for red meats, cheese platters, terrines and scrambled eggs with truffle.

Color the wine has a sparkling ruby ​​color with delicate violet hues. Aroma the aroma of wine – fruity fresh full-bodied with a predominance of tones of violet cherry ripe plum black olives red and white pepper red berries. Taste taste wine – sweet and velvety elegant with hints of mocha vanilla and lingering aftertaste. Gastronomy experts say that this drink is just perfect with grilled meats and dishes of sea fish.

VINIFICATION : the purpose is to extract phenolic compounds to transform the sugar into alcohol and to transform the malic acid into lactic acid. The quality of the wine will mainly depend on the grapes and the performance of extraction.

To do this we possess stainless steel tanks and concrete tanks. (Before, the world of wine criticized the different types of tanks we used . There was even a time when some people have eliminated the concrete tanks in their cellar. Today the same people are rebuilding their cellar with magnificent concrete tanks). The only real difference is the thermal inertia of some of them and the ease of use of the others. In fact, what is really important it’s the sanitary conditions of the tank and cellar. We also use a system of thermoregulation of the tanks which allows us to cool, to warm or to maintain the temperatures. The winemaking process, from the entrance of the harvest until the end of fermentation spread over 6 to 12 weeks depending on the vintage.

AGEING: : Haut-Veyrac wine is ageing in oak barrels between 12 and 14 months. We renew 30% of the barrels every year. The quality of the barrels is essential for the ageing part. We buy them faithfully to the same barrel makers. It’s very important because it’s the guarantee of a valuable know-how and also to have oaks which gives our wine its signature.

BOTTLING: After the ageing part, we put the wine back in the tank to make the fining. This action allows the particles to go down the tank to clarify the wine. This is the deposit that was in some bottles. There are different methods of fining which are tested every year before using them in tanks. Then we proceed to the bottling; the last delicate operation which achieve 30 months of work. At this time each material in contact with the wine, whether it’s the bottles, the corks,or the bottling machine must be checked and clean.

Château de Chambert" is the historic wine of the chateau, a blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Merlot. The addition of merlot gives the wine a suppleness and expressive red fruit characters in its youth and the Malbec component prolonges its cellaring potential.

This wine is aged 12 months in barrel to achieve a perfect balance of fruit, silky tannins and a delicate spice of french oak. It is a wine that can easily age from 15-20 years depending on the vintage.

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

Thanks to the cool climate the 2013 White Label grapes ripened slowly and steadily, showing an intense ruby red color since harvest time.
The bouquet is complex, with intense red fruit notes and hints of cherry and citrus. On the palate is fresh and elegant, while tannins are velvety, ripen and well integrated. Final is long, balanced, with a refreshing afterstate.
Very pleasant and drinkable despite the long ageing potential.

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. With a calibrated blend of the Aglianico grape and the Piedirosso grape, also known as “Pere ‘e Palummo”, or Pigeon Foot, from south-west facing vines, between four hundred and five hundred metres above the enchanting Gulf of Gaeta, the “Terra di Lavoro” is created, a wine with excellent structure, perfectly aged in small oak barrels.

​

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.

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.

Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifiying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from Côte Rôtie, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

Côte-Rôtie is situated in the northernmost region of the Rhône Valley. The Syrah (96%) vine is planted on steep terraced hillsides that catch and focus the sun’s heat, giving the region its reputation and name: "roasted slope." A small percentage of Viognier (4%) is interplanted with the Syrah, and the two are harvested and fermented together, giving the wine an exotic perfume, elegance and lift.

The Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde de Guigal refers to the fact that grapes from the two areas of Côte-Rôtie are used, from the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde. The historical legend is that long ago a lord deeded the Côte Brune to his dark-haired daughter and the Côte Blonde to his blond daughter. The soils of the Côte Brune are indeed darker, containing more iron and some clay, and the paler Côte Blonde soils have more sand and limestone, and are the home of more Viognier plantings.

Guigal’s Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde is a wine of finesse and complexity that ages beautifully, developing aromas and flavors of black pepper, spice, licorice, and game. It is a truly great expression of Cote-Rotie.

Produced on sandy soils, which cover a small part of the appellation, Grenache expresses great softness and is very aromatic without being heavy. This wine is full bodied but with finesse at the same time.

Latricières-Chambertin is a satellite of Chambertin, located at the edge of the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, between the famous Mont Luisant mountain and Chambertin. The soil here is composed of calcareous clay overlying marl atop thick limestone beds. The soil is lean and a thin layer of silica scree from the Grissard valley can be seen at the surface.

The "Les Charmes" Premier Cru is a first-class plot and easily rivals Burgundy’s great white Grand Crus. There are two types of "terroir" in Meursault. One is clay-based and produces opulent, generous wines. The other consists of finer soil, and is closer to the limestone bedrock. The latter gives a more mineral, airy and chiselled wine.

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.

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 “JESUITENGARTEN” is situated on a slope above the village of Forst – on its western brim. The vineyard is east-southeast facing. The soil of the vineyards in Forst is very particular.

This “JESUITENGARTEN” is a very delicate and mouth-watering wine in the tradition of the top German Riesling Spätlese. In the nose, the wines offers a light and very mineral fruit. Notes of peach (pêche de vignes) and apples combined with a mineralic impression. Still very young this “JESUITENGARTEN” is juicy, complex and rich. On the palate the wine appears crisp and well balanced. Aromas again of peach are upfront but the almost spicy notes of the mineralic soil enrich the taste a lot. A great and complex wine which will have a great future! Now – 2030!

The Leinhöhle is situated on the western brim of the village of Deidesheim in the center of the Palatinate wine-growing region. The Leinhöhle is south east facing situated on a slope above the village of Deidesheim. The vineyard is protected by the Haardt-mountains against strong west-winds and rain.

The vineyard was harvested by hand in several picks. The grapes have been pressed and temperature-controlled fermented in stainless-steel tanks.

A very good match the wine offers when drunk with spicy cheese or with hot food as in the Indochinese-cuisine.

RED WINES - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC

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.

Vineyard: Vigna Giaia
Grape-variety: 100% Nebbiolo
Vinification: crushing of the grapes, followed by on-the-skins fermentation in stainless steel
Maturing: at least 30 months in medium and large-sized oak barrels
Ageing in the bottle: at least 6 months, stored lying down in an underground cellar
Alcohol: 14%

A deep garnet red with orange nuances. Nose is complex, with evolved fruit, dried violets and raspberry, plus spices including cinnamon, vanilla and tobacco. An intense, long and warm taste, with great structure and an impressive 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
Grape-variety: 100% Nebbiolo
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
Alcohol: 14%

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.

There are 4500 to 6000 vines per hectare with a yield of about 7 tons of grapes per hectare. Vines are trained to Cordone speronato and Guyot. Harvesting is done manually.

Intense and well outlined nose, very refined: evolving with black berries, together with clear balsamic and Mediterranean traces. Then progressively develop typical mineral notes. Perfectly integrated oak with spicy sweet notes and an elegant boisé in the finish. Enters the mouth austere and fresh, evolving in a good balance between the mineral traces and the fine tannic notes. Good length, with wide mineral notes.

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.

Bordeaux Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot

Mr Emile and Philippe Casteja decided to create the second wine of Château de Lynch Moussas as from the 2001 vintage.

This manual-harvested wine received constant care and was brought up through a long vinification. It is a good introduction to the first wine Lynch Moussas. Les Huat de Lynch Mousses, whose name comes from the vineyard overhanging the estate has arisen from younger plots that could not join the ones of the main Château Lynch Moussas.

Brought up in one-wine new barrels, it reveals through tasting, its beautiful deep ruby colour and fruity nose. The start is fresh and full-bodied, with a significant length in the mouth. Can be drunk as young, but also be kept long by “connoisseurs”.
