Fantini Three Dreamers Appassite Abruzzo 2020

The Fantini Three Dreamers Appassite from Abruzzo embodies the highest art of Montepulciano. The grapes come from the best locations, where the combination of the Gran Sasso National Park, the Adriatic coast and perfect soil gives the vineyards a unique microclimate. Each grape is harvested by hand, carefully selected and prepared in small crates for the appassimento process - a gentle drying process lasting around 120 days that gives the wine exceptional concentration, complexity and unmistakable fruity aromas.Gentle pressing is followed by six months of maceration at a controlled temperature before the wine matures for 18 months in American oak barrels. The result is a deep ruby red, almost black wine with a bouquet of ripe fruit, blackberries, sour cherries, raisins, cinnamon, vanilla and delicate chocolate notes. The palate is powerful and harmonious at the same time: cocoa powder, jammy blackcurrants, mocha and caramel toffee merge with silky tannins to create a long, elegant finish.This Fantini Three Dreamers Appassite is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that shines on special occasions, with game dishes, mature cheeses or exquisite meat dishes. Serve at 16-18 °C to experience the full aroma, structure and fine balance of this top wine.

Vigne Vecchie Leggenda Primitivo di Manduria Gold Limited Release DOC 2021

The Leggenda Gold Series Primitivo di Manduria DOP from Vigneti del Salento exemplifies the powerful yet elegant style of southern Italy. The Primitivo grapes come from bush vines that are over 70 years old and grow on iron-rich, red soil with a chalky subsoil - conditions that give the wine its special depth, concentration and expressiveness.After harvesting, the slightly overripe grapes are gently processed and fermented on the skins at a controlled temperature for ten to twelve days. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for twelve months in American and French barriques, which gives it structure, spice and fine roasted aromas without masking the fruit.In the glass, the Leggenda Gold Series Primitivo di Manduria DOP is ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense and multi-layered, characterized by ripe cherries and blackberries, accompanied by mint, tobacco and a subtle spiciness. On the palate, the wine is soft, full-bodied and harmonious, with hints of cocoa and coffee in the long, lingering finish.This Primitivo is the ideal accompaniment to spicy barbecue dishes, aromatic curries or hearty vegetarian dishes such as lentil ragouts. It is particularly harmonious at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C, where the fruit, spice and woody notes develop to their full potential.
