Aromas of pine trees and cinnamon, a Christmas like scent, with more subtle orange, date, and sweet chocolate. Taste of date and plum with oak, chocolate, almond, and orange. — 3 years ago

We tasted a lot of wines in #montalcino and this is the bottle we bought to take home with us. Delicious and generous. #brunello ANNUAL PRODUCTION:
30.000/35.000 bott.
​
PRODUCTION AREA:
The vineyards are in the hills of Montalcino, at different heights and with a sun exposure until sunset. The age of the vineyards from which we select the grapes destined to produce Brunello is more than 20 years. Average altitude of the vineyards: 250 mt s.l.m.
​
SOIL:
Tuffaceous clay, very rich in fossils.
​
GRAPE VARIETY:
Large Sangiovese 100%.
​
TRAINING SYSTEM:
bilateral and balanced cordon.
​
DENSITY FOR HECTARE:
5.500
​
PRODUCTION SYSTEM:
The vineyards are subject to thinning of bunches, the average criteria is, in good vintages, three bunches of five stay on. The grapes thus obtained are further selected in the cellar, where they are processed according to the old tradition. It proceeds to intense extraction in the early stages of fermentation, followed by long quiescent maceration on the marc; the maximum temperature is raised up to 33 °C and maintained at high values until the racking. The ageing in wood lasts 36 months in oak barrels from Slavonia hl 17.50. It follows bottle ageing for 12 months far beyond the mandatory minimum of four months from production regulations. — 4 years ago

Nice little Chardonnay from Napa Co. straw color with a golden hue color, aromas of Meyer lemon, butter popcorn and hazelnut. Citrus flavors mild oak/butter flavors. This Chardonnay is very nicely balanced. Paired nicely with chicken cordon bleu and thyme risotto. — 6 years ago

Pre Thanksgiving meal champagne and it’s one of my favorite. Nice vanilla and starfruit notes on the nose. Upfront it’s like an orange starburst and finishes with some candied ginger. The aftertaste is nicely acidic and dry, hanging on the palate like a mild grapefruit. I love raiding the in-law’s wine cellar! — 4 years ago

5 years old and this is pretty fresh and bright. Ripe peaches and marshmallow. Pairs well with Cowgirl Red Hawk, the stinky cheese seems to bring out some light sweetness. Great stuff. — 5 years ago

Rosy gold. Persistent bubbles and quickly dissipating mousse. Royal Anne cherries and toast on the nose and medium full palate. Yadda, yadda, yadda. It’s great demi-sec Champagne and we’re celebrating. You know why. Drink. Now. — 4 years ago

An excellent choice for sparkling wine on price-quality range. Beautiful rosé color of Garnacha in the glass. Aromas of red berries, like a bit dried strawberry and raspberry, almond, dried green. Pleasant acidity, very balanced, really high quality! My best recommendation for fans of sparkling rosé! — 6 years ago
