The Valpolicella Classico of the Monte Dall'Ora winery is the perfect example of a red wine belonging to the so-called summer genre. The purity of the aromas of rose, mint, ripe strawberry and red cherry bring to mind more of a refreshing summer juice. The fine textured - so-so - tannins on the palate provide the dose of seriousness that even a cool...
For La Stropa the grape drying process is masterful, full of detail and without the use of technology. Strictly selected and healthy grapes are left for about 3 months in small wooden crates which are placed on top of each other in a well-ventilated and cool environment on the roof of the winery. From there on, fermentation in oak tanks is spontaneous and...
A classic Valpolicella is simply enjoyed without having to think any further. Camporenzo, however, is a wine that has other multifaceted dimensions besides enjoyment. The minerality flatters the fruit - pure, lively and expressive - the result of the minimalist philosophy that Carlo and Alessandra follow in vineyard and winery. The winemaking is clearly...
Leave the Amarone "La Stropa" in your cellar for a more special moment and enjoy Monte Dall' Ora's Ripasso "Sausto" when you want to get small doses of the richness and power of an Amarone. Cherries infused with alcohol, plum and raisins along with notes of mint and floral notes. Ripe yet fresh on the palate with very good tensions and robust, elegant...
This particular vineyard is located a few kilometres away from the estate surrounding the winery, towards Lake Garda and the vineyards are 15 to 40 years old on limestone soils. The label is painted by the daughter of Carlo and Alessandra. Fermentation is spontaneous, as in all the winery's wines, and takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks...
In the background, the noble hints of oak provide the framework for the extremely ripe fruit to "shine", reminiscent of white peach and ripe lemon. The palate is delightfully delicious, medium-bodied with nice creamy textures and notes reminiscent of pastry cream but with plenty of freshness due to acidity and minerality. In its youthful period you will...
La Fortune” ferments in oak vats, while 2/3 of the grapes are kept whole and unbroken. Contact with the grape skins lasts 12-14 days to avoid astringency and reinforce the fruit. The wine ages for 10-12 months in 1st to 3rd-use barrels. On the palate, there are fruit aromas such as fresh strawberries and herbaceous notes on the nose. Cru La Fortune is a...
Nicolas Bourget tries to render the terroir of Paros without intermediate interventions and winemaking fioritures. His approach is as simple as possible. Native yeasts take over to "run" the alcoholic fermentation, after directly pressing the whole bunches of Assyrtiko, and the whole process takes place in stainless steel tanks where the wine remains in...
The grapes are organically grown (without certification) and come mainly from the mountainous area of Thapsani in the centre of the island. The "Nees Rizes" are not so new since they come from a combination of vineyards, the oldest of which in cups and traditional "aplotaria" are 150 years old. The vinification is entirely non-intrusive, with spontaneous...
Another winemaking process crafted with the finesse and elegance imparted by whole-cluster fermentation, which enhances the wine’s signature spicy fruit and floral character. The wine undergoes a total maceration of 40 days and is pressed using an old vertical press, just as it was traditionally done in the past. Malolactic fermentation takes place...
Probably the closest you'll get to an archetypal Chianti Classico, but one that is not just for immediate consumption, but worth waiting a few years for. If simple Chianti Classico or Meraviglie epitomize the casual and straightforward style of wine, here we have a more mature and aged version that manages to balance both pleasure and seriousness. If you...
With the characteristic pale colour of white onion skin, Luntáne Rosé de Gris gives a lot of "gas" in terms of aromatic complexity. Elegant and rosy, yet without overpowering floral aromas, grapefruit and red fruit aromas come alongside the rose to balance grapefruit and red fruit flavours along with a characteristic minerality. Freshness of mint,...
