Wines of Tuscany

It is not surprising to discover that this Chianti Riserva DOCG Tenuta di Campriano produced from Buccia Nera has been awarded several times by international wine critics. After all, it is clear that it is a great product from the first taste. It could be defined as pure Sangiovese, given that in the assembly this grape weighs for about 85%. But in this case, to add nobility to the blend, a part of Merlot and one part of Cabernet Sauvignon are added, improving vines par excellence. The vinification of the grapes takes place in three different moments, always in steel at a controlled temperature. Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and 2-year aging in 30-hectolitre oak barrels followed by a further year in the bottle. The result is a complex and structured red. The color is impenetrable, ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose opens with notes of cherry in alcohol and blackberry, to then offer spicy sensations of chocolate, licorice and tobacco. In the mouth it is full, voluminous, soft at the entrance, with nice ripe tannins that leave the mouth dry and clean.

The Syrah vine is at home on the rolling hills surrounding Arezzo. Originally from the French region of Rhone, he has found a welcoming second home in Tuscany and is often able to express himself at high levels. In the version proposed here by Buccia Nera, the grapes that have reached a perfect degree of ripeness are harvested by hand and vinified without resorting to selected yeasts. Fermentation, in fact, is activated spontaneously thanks to the colony of native yeasts found on the skins and in the cellar environment. The result is a wine of beautiful complexity but just as pleasant. In this case, it is easy to recognize the characteristics of the varietal which are enhanced by a minimally invasive vinification. The color is intense and lively ruby red. On the nose they are clearly distinguished by more typical spicy notes of black pepper which are accompanied by memories of coffee and sweeter toffee. In the mouth it is soft with ripe tannins and a nice acidity that perfectly balances the alcoholic component. A versatile wine that is easy to enhance with the right combination of meat and cheese but also with dishes with a pleasantly spicy flavor, such as a tasty goulash.

In the mouth it is fresh and light. Good correspondence to the nose and palate, it completes the tasting leaving the mouth pleasantly clean.

Soft and enveloping. The tannins are ripe and well balanced by the acidity. Good taste-olfactory persistence, after swallowing the fruity aromas immediately return. PAIRINGS: Red meat, game, aged cheeses.

Lobster pink with beautiful opalescence. Well visible deposits of yeast on the bottom of the bottle. Upon opening, the nose shows hints of yeast and bread making and then opens up with fruity aromas of cherry, wild strawberries, white currants and rose petals. There is minerality in the finish. The taste is dry with very delicate but persistent bubbles, fresh and savory with good persistence. Red fruits return to the aftertaste and finish. The mouth remains pleasantly dry.

Both powerful and incredibly fine, the wine reveals mature and elegant tannins, exquisite fruitiness and exceptional length on the palate. Pleasant since its youth, it has the advantage of being able to be appreciated without waiting too long, while retaining a great aging potential, rare for an Italian wine of this level ... In short, we are facing a legendary bottle and words are not enough to describe its beauty.

When tasted, a very delicate bubble, which pleasantly massages the palate, decisive and pleasant citrus freshness, right flavor and good persistence, with a aftertaste and finish of citrus and fruit with a long trail of freshness to characterize the whole taste.

Disturbing. If we had to describe this wine in one word, we would use this adjective and no other. The red blend, based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is an intense amalgam of two vines that express themselves with great elegance and strength in this territory. We are at 350 meters above sea level, in a soil rich in clay and silt, ideal characteristics for the production of intense reds, with a complex organoleptic profile and great aging potential. Pa' Ro rosso immediately expresses itself in the glass with great personality: the color is an intense and impenetrable ruby red. A sense of smell that is very full of aromas and herbaceous notes is striking, the spiciness embellishes an already well-stressed nose with notes of black pepper and licorice. Scents of plum and blueberry define its fruitiness, while the balsamic note makes it vivid and powerful. At the sip it continues to seduce us for the fullness of the taste; enveloping softness and alcohol on one side, well balanced by good freshness and elegant tannins on the other. A fine wine, very intense, very long. All the cards are in order to achieve excellence. What better pairing than a sweet wild boar?

The destemmed grapes remain in maceration on the skins throughout the alcoholic fermentation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel barrels at a controlled temperature of 18°C. AGING: In stainless steel for 8 months and in bottle for at least 2 months.

90% Sangiovese, with just a hint of Canaiolo to make the cut more intriguing. Thus Sassocupo was born, which bears the Chianti Superiore Denomination on the label and is distinguished by an alcohol content of 14 degrees. An extremely pleasant red, which can give great satisfaction at the table, especially if the menu includes a large use of red meats. If in the glass it has a beautiful, not too lively ruby red color, the nose reveals the unmistakable notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and black cherry, which soon give way to an evident hint of pepper. In the mouth it is vertical, with a nice tannin and a decisive freshness that make it elegant and versatile. Long persistence, leaves the mouth pleasantly clean and dry.
