Delicately fragrant nose, highlighted by chamomile and tropical fruit. This well-balanced, unoaked Chard showcases firm acidity bolstering melon flavours and a round mouthfeel. Appetizing passion fruit finish. The “big meadow” (prato grande) surrounding the vineyard conjures up al fresco dining.
Big, bright, rich, fresh grapey aromas of black and red fruit tinged with minerals. Full-flavoured and layered with rich, penetrating flavours, great concentration and richness, but maintains a fresh raciness because of the beautiful fresh acidity that balances the sugar. Incredible length, but the acid almost gives the impression of finishing dry. Need some sbrisolona (dry almond torte) with this.
Its bright, straw-yellow hue lures you to sniff its wide-ranging aromas, from acacia flowers to burnt orange to vanilla. The full-bodied palate impresses with intertwined fruit and savoury flavours. Long, complex finish highlights buttered toast, hazelnut and fruit peel. Cellar this 85% Chardonnay/15% Grechetto blend up to 10 years from vintage. Or pair now with pasta carbonara.
Pale silvery yellow with lots of bubbles. The bouquet is of toast, yeast and fresh lemon. Tastes like a pear-and-apricot pastry tart topped with lemon mousse. Mouthwatering acidity; a party-pleaser.
The nose on this gorgeous Riserva is highlighted by fragrant violets, meaty wild berries, plums, tobacco leaf and swirling spices. It has youthful vigour and elegance on the palate with concentrated dark fruits, tar notes, cinnamon, pepper, herbs and a firm bead of minerality through the core. It all leads to a super long finish that is held up by firm acidity and ripe tannins. Great aging potential of 10 years or more. Enjoy with spicy bean soup with bacon and grilled sausages or spring lamb casserole.
Clear, tawny gold. Fascinating, complex nose of peaches, bananas, guava, roses and a bit of Gewürz (spiciness). Dry, crisp and full-bodied, tasting of juicy tart apples, lemon, and a drop of rosewater. Respectably long finish. If you are looking for a white wine with your next roast turkey, this goes very well with a rich spicy stuffing.
Quite a bit of fresh and dried herbs, dark cherry, hints of spice; a touch simplistic with not a lot of depth, but quite drinkable now. Some roast pork or chicken may open this up.
