Chianti Classico Riserva is produced exclusively in the oldest wine-growing area of Tuscany, in a landscape of breathtaking beauty.
The Veneto IGT Merlot Crosara red wine from the Maculan winery is one of the Crus of the Maculan company and is obtained exclusively using fine Merlot grapes (an allochthonous vine of French origin). The vineyards are located on the hills around the Venetian municipalities of Ferrata and Santo Stefano and enjoy a perfect combination of mild microclimate and soils rich in mineral salts. The activity of this company for several years has been aimed at the production of quality wines, thanks to a perfect balance between craftsmanship and technological innovation. The production of the Veneto IGT Merlot Crosara wine begins with the harvest, meticulously carried out by hand and selecting only the best bunches. These are sent for fermentation in steel vats at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins. Maturation takes place in French oak barriques for about 12 months, before refining directly in the bottle. The result is a wine of exceptional quality, full-bodied and robust, with an excellent structure, it has a concentrated and deep purple-red colour. The nose opens with intense aromas of small black fruits and ripe red fruit, enriched by pleasant spicy notes. On the palate it is fruity and structured, with sweet and elegant tannins.
Filo di Seta expresses the strong, though always very elegant, character of the wild and dark soul of the microclimate that characterizes the north-western area of the Municipality of Montalcino. The historic Sangiovese vineyards are located at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level, they are looked after with dedication and passion so that each plant can give birth to harmonious and balanced products, which allow the bunches to reach optimal ripeness.
A Nero d'Avola of great harmony, our spearhead. Surprising in its aromas, precious for the elegance and silkiness of its tannins. An exciting wine.
The Amarone di Ca' Rugate "Punta 470" announces itself in the glass with a well concentrated garnet colour. The olfactory bouquet that emerges on the nose is broad, where various notes of small berry fruits such as blackberry, cherry and currant can be traced, alternating with spicy references. On the palate it has an excellent structure, powerful and energetic thanks to a round sip, which wraps the palate with softness; it closes with a finish of excellent persistence, characterized by an aftertaste that recalls the flavor of the dried grapes from which the Amarone production process is born. A label of important depth both on the nose and in the mouth, which comes from a meticulous production process, in which each phase of the production is followed with care and attention, until the wine, after a good period of refinement, is not ready to be bottled. A great expression, dense, intense and elegant. The "Punta 470" takes shape from the union between Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, varieties grown in soils rich in skeleton and limestone located in the hilly area of Montecchia di Crosara. The manual harvest begins during the second half of September, taking care to place the bunches in boxes without overlapping them, in order to guarantee correct ventilation. The bunches wither for 4-5 months in a fruit cellar, dehydrating and thus concentrating their sugary substances; then we proceed with the pressing, and the must obtained is fermented in steel. The wine ages for 30-36 months in 500-litre oak tonneaux and 25-hectolitre barrels.
«What the tongue cannot express well, mute eloquence expressed in its gestures» Intense ruby red. It begins on the nose with notes of sweet leather, spice, cherry; on the palate it is soft, elegant and fresh. «Forty years after my first writings - elementary judgments - I realized that, always, the wine - so individual, pure, national, harmonious - was above, that words were not enough to give the "meaning" of it, even if they were momentum and invention. Better, a thousand times better, abandoning yourself to the involvements, suggestions, hugs, penetrations, which gradually emerge in the tasting, not material but intellectual, and mark them. The affirmation comes from the great Veronelli who has taught more than a few generations with his inexhaustible vein of neologisms regarding the sensations that wine is capable of transmitting. Often the truth of wine is elusive, untranslatable and it is necessary to recognize the ineffectiveness of words. So much so that wine becomes an enjoyable beverage, even without the use of words, due to the privilege it possesses of communicating forcefully, of moving people through its innate eloquence.
