Why is this Wine so Yummy?

GRAPES: Chardonnay (100%) from the best vineyards in the 19 municipal areas of Franciacorta.

HARVEST PERIOD: second half of August/mid-August. YIELD: 9,000 kg of grapes per hectare with 55% must yield, equivalent to 6,600 bottles per hectare.

VINIFICATION: gentle, gradual pressing of clusters with fractioning of the must; alcoholic fermentation in steel vats.

Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Arione' 2016

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Arione’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Roberto acquired a portion of the Arione Cru in 2015. Just under 6 Ha for 6 million euro. It is adjacent to the Francia vineyard, long responsible for both the Barolo ‘Cascina Francia’ and ‘Monfortino’ Riserva in the very southern end of Serralunga. The contours of Arione follow on directly from Francia and the soil profiles are similar with a limestone base compared to Cerretta’s clay base. The 2016 Barolo Arione is a sort of synthesis between the Cerretta and Francia. It has the red

Raventós i Blanc ‘De la Finca’ 2019

Xarel-lo | Spain, Catalunya

Fruit for the De La Finca comes from the Vinya dels Fòssils. Situated on the highest terraces of the River Anoia with lower yields on thinner soil. Here we have a  build in the depth and length. Sophisticated fine and long, complex with mid-palate layering. An entrancing perfume at play with edgy, salinity and a fine mousse. Subtle power and delicacy. The extra time on lees in bottle, 30 months, shows with a seamless harmony, richness and a little autolysis character. The fruit weight is balan

Cappellano Barbera Gabutti 2015

Barbera | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Another great Piemonte vine, another great aspect of the Gabutti vineyards. A classic Barbera, feminine in its generosity and masculine in its posture. It is characterised by a distinctive acidity which sustains softness and fruit, and delivers a vibrating tasting experience until the long finale. The wine gives the impression of partial incompleteness, of continuous change; like all the red wines with strong character it takes its time to unveil its potentiality, character, and pleasures.

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 'Montestefano' 2014
One of the many highlights in this range, the Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is superb. A big enrobing wine, the Montestefano wraps around the palate with stunning depth. Today, the Montestefano is utterly embryonic, and yet it exudes depth, resonance and pure class. The Montestefano is one of the more complete wines in the range because of the way it deftly balances fruit intensity and structure. Readers will have to be patient, though.Galloni
