the best wines chosen for you

The year of the first Nobile of Montepulciano ‘Vigna Asinone Riserva’ was 1983, after the grapes of the Asinone vineyards were bottled for the first time as Nobile in 1982. With this name there then followed ’83 – ’85 – ’88 – ’90 with Prugnolo Gentile and a small addition of Canaiolo Nero, Colorino and Mammolo, matured in big wooden vats that was completely ‘out of the norm’ back in those days that still allowed the use of white berried grapes. A wine of great character tied to the Sangiovese territory.

A company that became the temple of Masseto where the Merlot empire has its effective physical roots. A place that became a cult amongst the many passionate followers of Bolgheri Rosso. The terrain of Ornellaia is capable of keeping at bay any kind of climate change.

A family that have been using their name for Brunello for over a century now. We see the birth of wines that can only be described as ‘classics’ for their clearness and depth. Wines that are capable of sharing emotions of pure organoleptic class.

A one off unmistakable style that is reflected in every single aspect of the production. From an oily wine, architectonic, from the soul of those who cultivate it. A land of enriched sandstone with clay, layers of sand and trees.

An historic reality in the San Gimignano panorama. With the digging up and re-planting of the over 25 year old vineyards and the amplification of the land to be destined for the production of Vin Santo.

They have maintained their promises with their Riserva Vigna of Pianrossa. A classic pleasurable Brunello and an excellent Rosso di Montalcino: great class and full of taste.

A far off setting protected by a close border: a hedge of Mediterranean woodland controlled by the very proud and careful owners of Castello di Monsato. Today you only need to take a few steps towards the top of the hillock to be able to absorb the energy that has pushed Giuliana and Fabrizio here in the first place. From this very generous hillock you can smell the warm air and salty current that blows in from the sea sweeping over a varied and strong vegetation.

Quality, tradition and elegance. This is the wine of Castellare. An extraordinary blend of three main players: Sodi of San Nicolò, Coniale and Poggio Ai Merli.

A colossal set up that produces millions of bottles that offer strong Tuscan roots, interpreted by an outlook that concentrates mainly on a style that is characterized above all for its easy to drink taste that is offered at a very reasonable price. A magnificent performance for the Brunello Riserva 2006.

A very important reality that from 74 until today has been transformed. This farmhouse from 600 has been restored and transformed into an exclusive centre for important chefs and lovers of these extraordinary wines.
