Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano IGT 2022

The Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano IGT is a creation of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo. It is produced using the traditional Tuscan Governo method. This involves adding a must made from grapes that have dried up like raisins to the young wine. In the case of Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano, the grapes harvested first were dried on mats in the sun before the must was added. These grapes make up 10 to 15 % of the harvest. "Ancient technology with a modern twist," writes US wine critic James Suckling, who awards this red wine from Tuscany 92 points.The deep red wine has a captivating aroma of red and darker fruits (plums, cherries and blackberries) with a pleasant spiciness. Dry and full-bodied on the palate, wonderfully round and soft, with a subtle, invigorating acidity and supple tannins. A very subtle residual sweetness and a fine spiciness round off the taste experience.This accessible Italian red wine was matured in stainless steel tanks. Enjoy the Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano IGT at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 degrees. The Governo wine is the perfect accompaniment to a hearty starter dish (e.g. with salami, prosciutto and Coppa di Parma, the Italian ham from the Parma region, with figs and cheese). It is also a good choice with porchetta (rolled pork roast) or bollito misto, a traditional meat stew from northern Italy.

Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino DOC 2017

Like its predecessors, the 2017 vintage of Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino also impresses the international wine world. Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, 93 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points in Decanter, and 92 points in WineEnthusiast, the Brunello is a feast for the senses and another outstanding example of why Poggio Antico has been considered an iconic winemaker in Tuscany for decades.The Sangiovese bouquet is fascinatingly intense and multi-faceted. "Aromas reminiscent of undergrowth, rubbed botanical herbs, wild roses and wild berries pour from the glass," according to Kerin O'Keefe in the Wine Enthusiast, while James Suckling writes of a pure cherry, berry and floral character with underlying notes of cedar. Decanter says, "Smells quite savory of coffee, dark chocolate, bitter orange peel and some Christmas spices, cloves and cinnamon," adding that the savory spice is in the foreground.On the palate, this fine red wine from Tuscany is terrifically elegant, with a medium to full body. In addition, there is a wonderful depth and variety of aromas. The elegant palate offers dried cherries, licorice and ground cloves in a complex interplay with fine-grained tannins, as O'Keefe writes. The Wine Advocate highlights lots of fresh fruit and the soft and supple tannins, while Decanter, in turn, recognizes tension and precision on the palate, well-integrated tannins and a lovely sweetness at the start. The long, aromatic finish completes this taste experience.This single-varietal Sangiovese from the 30 hectares of picturesquely situated sites of Poggio Antico is outstanding. A major contributing factor is that the grapes ripen about 500 meters above sea level on chalky, stony soils. The harvest yields are deliberately severely limited. The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino is aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 18 months in the bottle.A superb classic of Italian winemaking. Enjoy the Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino with red meat or game dishes, preferably with mushrooms. A strong cheese is also an excellent companion for the Brunello - we recommend, for example, a Pecorino from Tuscany or a Toma Piemontese. Tip: Enjoy this Brunello after 2024.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2018

Wie schon beim Testamatta stammen die Trauben von Reben in einem Alter von 80 bis 135 Jahren, was sicherlich besonders ist. Diese Basis schafft einen Wein, der nicht nur sehr konzentriert und kraftvoll, sondern gleichermaßen homogen, rund und elegant ist. Diese Balance zu kreieren erstaunt doch sehr. Nachdem Einschenken ins Glas (wir hatten den Wein 2 Stunden vorher dekantiert) ein intensives Aroma von Kirschen und Himbeeren in der Nase. Gefolgt von Kräuternoten und dem Duft einer Blumenwiese. Durch eine deutliche Säure entsteht ein frisches und subtiles Bouquet. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Bibi Grätz Colore 2018 komplex und kraftvoll mit feiner Raffinesse. Im Finish konzentriertes Lakritz und sogar etwas Tabak. Sichern Sie sich ein paar Flaschen von den nur 9000 produzierten Exemplaren dieses wunderbaren Weins. Der Wein wird durch ein paar weitere Jahre Flaschenreife sicher noch an Trinkfreude zunehmen. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass unter anderem James Suckling 99 von 100 Punkten, Robert Parker und das Decanter Magazin je 97 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergeben
