Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020

By |July 3, 2024|Categories: , , , , |Tags: , |

Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 "Testamatta," meaning "crazy-head" in Italian, perfectly reflects the creative and passionate nature of winemaker Bibi Graetz. This Supertuscan wine highlights the purity, minerality, and transparency of Sangiovese from old vines. The grapes for the 2020 vintage are hand-picked and undergo rigorous selection in both the vineyard and winery. Fermentation is done with natural and indigenous yeasts in open-top barriques for smaller parcels and larger casks or stainless steel tanks for larger plots, with frequent manual punch-downs and pump-overs. After 7-10 days of maceration, the wine is aged for 20 months in old barriques and 50hl casks. Expect a fresh and vibrant nose with aromas of strawberries and Amarena cherries, complemented by hints of vanilla. On the palate, you'll find complex flavors of balsamic, earth, and tobacco, with high, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that carry the flavors to a very long finish. This vintage has received exceptional acclaim, earning 96 points from The Independent and 95 points from Robert Parker. With its excellent quality and great aging potential, Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso 2020 is a must-have for any wine enthusiast. Order yours today!

Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso 2020

By |December 9, 2023|Categories: , , |

Cantine Bertani has been making wines in the Veneto region of Italy for more than 150 years. They have consistently strived to combine tradition and research to create wines of uncompromising quality with a distinct identity. As part of the ripasso technique, the wine is 'passed over' dried grapes to contribute depth and character. Ripasso styles, such as this one, can therefore offer the best of both worlds: notes of ripe red cherry and underbrush (that you often find with Valpolicella), alongside those of spice and chocolate (often found with Amarone). This wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins, aged in barrels and cement vats before spending three further months in bottle prior to release. This rich Ripasso would complement a variety of Italian dishes, from grilled and roasted meats to risotto with porcini mushrooms.  

Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2012

By |July 17, 2024|Categories: , , |

Cantine Bertani has been making wines in the Veneto region of Italy for more than 150 years. They have consistently strived to combine tradition and research to create wines of uncompromising quality with a distinct identity. Grapes are dried in traditional drying rooms, where they rest on racks for 99 days before the winemaking process begins. An intense red color with hints of garnet, this wine offers succulent red plums and morello cherries on the nose, as well as notes of tea leaves, licorice, and spices. The Bertani Amarone has been described as “larger than life.” This power is balanced by elegance on the dry palate, which showcases red berries sweetened by soft notes of spices. Eight years of ageing in Slavonian oak barrels in conjunction with one further year of ageing in bottle have further contributed to this wine’s complexity. This wine can be easily matched with red meat, game and mature cheese, but is also perfect as a vino da meditazione – a meditation wine.

Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022

By |August 28, 2024|Categories: , , , , |

The Côte de Lechet is the principal holding of the Defaix family; they own 8ha (18 acres) of this Premier Cru. Near Vaillons, on the Left Bank of the Serein, this area of premiers crus is known for its high-toned, airy style, with abundant chalky minerality. 2022 is an excellent, balanced vintage, ripe but dry and mineral. This style could be the (excellent!) future for Chablis in the climate change era.
