MARINA CVETIC - MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO DOC RISERV

“Surely one of the Italy’s most underrated grape varieties. This wine can take the responsibility of taking the name to the heights it merits”

Marina Cvetic Riserva has greatly contributed to the fortunes of Montepulciano in the world. Numerous awards have been received over the years, including the inclusion in the "World Top 100" of the American magazine Wine Spectator.

Of great complexity, freshness and balance, it has a fine and velvety tannic structure and a rich aromatic texture. Deep and harmonic, it closes with rare cleanliness and it is destined to give great emotions with the passing of the years.

SETRIOLO CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG

“Here is one of those wines that so easily marries power to elegance, showing defined intensity via a refinement which is much sought after today”

Skin maceration is carried out for about 20 days in steel vats and cement vats. Alcoholic fermentation is triggered with selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is completed in vats, then 60% of the wine is aged in vats and 40% in used oak tonneau, medium toasting.

After almost 24 months the wine is bottled in October and released after at least 1 year ageing in the bottles.

GUSBOURNE BLANC DE BLANCS

“England is producing some stunning wines, yet to be fully treasured even by its own country some say. If in need of any conviction, look no further”

Elegant and pure, Blanc de Blancs is the winery’s signature sparkling. The 2019 vintage was named National Champion at the CSWWC this year.

Characteristically complex, bright and balanced, the winemaker selects the finest parcels of Chardonnay for this age worthy wine. It's the perfect choice for a sophisticated aperitif or to serve with seafood.

BELLAVISTA BRUT TEATRO ALLA SCALA FRANCIACORTA DOCG MILLESIMATO

“In the mood of an Anglo-Italian clash, not of the footballing kind, but one where refined bubbles are pitched against each other. Spoiler alert – both win”

Dedicated to the legendary temple of Opera, to which the company feels close and inspired, it is the best expression of the vintage, style, and philosophy of Bellavista.

The grapes that make up this great cuvée, predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are the best possible, the result of a radical selection of individual vineyards.

ALBINO ROCCA BARBARESCO DOCG

“My love for Winter includes a more wholesome enjoyment of wines like this. Chilled well enough, they can also grace most Summer nights. No season should keep us from wines of quality”

This Barbaresco without any other mention comes from the blending of the different parcels of Nebbiolo grapes coming from the youngest Barbaresco vineyards of the family. They produce a wine with elegant characters giving the consumer a wine of more elegance while having a greater possibility of occasions for consumption

MARRONE LANGHE DOC FAVORITA

“One of the better ways of describing freshness in a glass of wine would be to sip on a crunchy glass of Favorita. A variety adorned with a refreshing crispness which will have you reaching for a top up”

Bright straw yellow colour with shades tending to greenish. Very intense, almost aromatic notes, reminiscent of orange and citrus flowers. Fresh taste with a slight bitter aftertaste, resulting from the grape reaching ripening in the first week of September.
