Red Wines from Italy

Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli Rosso Toscana IGT 2020

One of the forerunners of the Supertuscans, first created by Mazzei in 1981, and still an outstanding red wine from Chianti today: the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli is also a composition in the 2020 vintage that is exuberantly celebrated by international wine critics. In this quality class, it is almost a bargain from Castello di Fonterutoli, located around 20 kilometers north of Siena.The Concerto Di Fonterutoli is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet of this Italian red wine is exceptionally multifaceted. "An extremely aromatic red wine," writes James Suckling, who awards it 96 points. After opening the bottle, you can look forward to the scent of blackcurrants, dark plums and ripe cherries. These notes harmonize perfectly with the scent of herbs, earthy tones and a beautiful spiciness (white pepper) as well as nuances of leather and a fine minerality.Dry and powerful on the palate, with a variety and depth of flavors that are not easily found a second time. "Full-bodied and yet so crisp and juicy on the palate with crushed blackberries and raspberries. Citrus-influenced acidity," says Suckling. Monica Larner, who awarded the Concerto Di Fonterutoli 94 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, writes: "There is plenty of sweet fruit on the palate, followed by beautifully integrated, dry tannins." The finish lingers for a long time and is engagingly elegant.A guarantee of enjoyment in the "exceptional wine" category until 2040. The Concerto Di Fonterutoli matured for 18 months in oak, with the Sangiovese being aged in tonneaux (500 liter barrels) and the Cabernet Sauvignon in French oak barriques (225 liter barrels). This was followed by a three-month refinement of the blend in cement tanks.Finally, these words from wine critic Antonio Galloni about the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli 2020 (95 points): "The 2020 is a beautiful wine that captures the essence of the house style wonderfully. Today, the purity of the fruit really jumps out of the glass. Outstanding." Happy to uncork a bottle of this Italian red wine from the Mazzei family.

Mazzei Philip Toscana Rosso IGT 2020

Die Familie Mazzei ist eine Institution im toskanischen Weinbau und prägend für den Chianti Classico. Der Mazzei Philip ist eine Kreation aus dem legendären Castello di Fonterutoli, die erstmals 2008 auf den Markt gelangte. Und auch sie begeistert die internationale Weinkritik: In Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate etwa liegen die Urteile für den Mazzei Philip konstant zwischen 91 und – zuletzt für den Jahrgang 2019 – 94 Punkten. Grund genug, auch den wunderbaren Jahrgang 2020 zu entdecken.Der italienische Rotwein duftet intensiv und vielschichtig nach dunklen Beeren. Am Gaumen ist der reinsortige Cabernet Sauvignon trocken und vollmundig, mit einem intensiven, fruchtbetonten Aromenspiel. Freuen Sie sich auf Aromen von Brombeeren und roten Kirschen, dazu ein Hauch von Cassis. Mit schöner Mineralität und großer Finesse. Das Ganze ist meisterhaft unterlegt mit feinen Holztönen, die dem Mazzei Philip Struktur geben. Der Rotwein klingt noch lange nach, mit einem köstlichen, frischen Nachgeschmack.18 Monate reifte der italienische Spitzenwein von Mazzei in amerikanischer und französischer Eiche, wobei zu 30% neue Fässer zum Einsatz kamen. Die Trauben stammen von Lagen aus dem Chianti Classico (Fonterutoli) sowie von der toskanischen Küste (Belguardo). So vereint der Mazzei Philip den Duft und die Eleganz der Weine aus dem Chianti Classico mit der Opulenz und Kraft der Weine aus der Region Maremma.Genießen Sie den rubinroten Wein aus der Toskana bei einer Trinktemperatur von 16 bis 18 Grad. Wir empfehlen, den Wein eine Stunde vor dem Genuss zu dekantieren. Dieser Cabernet Sauvignon ist ein idealer Begleiter zu Wild, Pasta-Variationen mit Tomaten sowie zu reifem Käse.

Mazzei Siepi Toscana Rosso IGT 2020

"Monumental": that's what the makers of Castello di Fonterutoli themselves write about their Mazzei Siepi 2020. And what can we say: they're right. The red wine from Tuscany is an outstanding creation. The blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot from the Chianti Classico region has enchanted international wine critics. "An exceptionally beautiful wine. I love it," says Decanter (98 points), for example, while Monica Larner writes in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (95 points): "The Mazzei 2020 Siepi is a magnificent vintage."The bouquet of the Italian red wine seduces with its complexity and the wonderful interplay of fruit, spice and floral notes. "Graphite and pencil come through, along with violets and blackberries. Also some tar and asphalt," writes James Suckling, who awards 98. Castello di Fonterutoli itself discovers crunchy elderberries, plums, berries, sandalwood and tobacco on the nose, while Decanter says of the bouquet: "Dried herbs and sweet spices on the nose, forest notes with blackberry fruit, concentrated and expressive." Cherry notes also characterize the bouquet.On the palate, the Mazzei Siepi 2020 is dry, wonderfully soft and at the same time crisp and fresh, with impressive elegance and depth. The fruitiness is fascinating. "Such a smooth transition on the palate, the tannins glide over the tongue and give the sweet strawberry, raspberry and plum fruit time to expand in the mouth," enthuses Decanter. Aromas of blueberry and blackberry also enrich the play of flavors. Everything is round and in perfect balance, with a fabulous length.This Super Tuscan matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which were new barrels. The Merlot was matured in barriques (225 liter barrels), the Sangiovese in tonneaux (500 liter barrels). The blend was then aged for three months in cement tanks.The Mazzei Siepi 2020 is already a real treat. However, it has enormous ageing potential. Suckling writes: "Already ready to drink, but will age gracefully for decades." The makers of Castello di Fonterutoli expect it to age for more than 20 years.Enjoy the Mazzei family's creation with a fine blue cheese. More pleasure is not possible.

Mea Culpa Vino Rosso

‘Mea Culpa’ means ‘my fault’. Mario Minini from the Cantine Minini estate used this expression ironically to name his outstanding red wine. In his opinion, he created the best cuvée that can be made using the Appassimento method.The Mea Culpa Vino Rosso in an extraordinary wine in all respects. The Primitivo, Shiraz and Merlot grapes for the Appassimento cuvée come from two very different wine-growing regions in Italy. The Primitivo grapes come from Apulia, of course, while the Shiraz and Merlot grapes come from Sicily, wonderfully uniting to create this excellent blend. The responsible wine-maker Mario Minini and his team of oenologists worked on the optimal composition of this blend for a long time. The result is a medium-dry red wine, offering an abundance of aromas on the nose.Fine notes of chocolate, nuances of tobacco and strong fruit aromas of blackberries, strawberries and dark cherries unite with notes of mocha and vanilla. On the palate, the wine shows a vivid acidity and a fine tannin structure. The full but elegant body has an exquisite structure. Due to the ageing in 225-litre oak casks made of French oak, the Mea Culpa Vino Rosso offers notes of vanilla and tobacco in its finish.It is an ideal accompaniment to meals. It goes beautifully with gnocchi or homemade spaetzle with beef roulade and cabbage vegetables.Enjoy this Primitivo from Sicily at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C (46.4-50.0 °F).

The beautiful, fruity depth of aroma (cherries, blackberries) is also evident here. A great harmony develops in combination with the velvety tannins. The finish is pleasantly spicy.The ruby red wine from Piedmont matured for 12 months in large oak barrels.

Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo DOCG 2019

Seit 1956 steht Michele Chiarlo für hochwertigen Weinbau im Piemont. Die internationale Weinkritik verleiht den Kreationen des norditalienischen Familienweingutes immer wieder Höchstnoten. Der Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo ist ein wunderbares Beispiel für diese hohe Qualität.Der Rotwein von Michele Chiarlo schimmert im Glas in einem mittleren rubinrot. Das Bukett des Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo ist herrlich facettenreich. Noten von roten Früchten, Rosenblättern und Wacholderbeeren harmonieren wunderbar mit einer feinen Würze und Nuancen von Röstaromen. „Erdig und köstlich, öffnet sich mit Aromen von reifen dunkelhäutigen Beeren, neuem Leder, Trüffel und gerebelten botanischen Kräutern“, urteilt Kerin O’Keefe, die im Wine Enthusiast 95 Punkte vergibt. James Suckling gibt dem Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo 93 Punkte: „Reif und üppig, mit Johannisbeeren, Pflaumen und Gewürzen sowie Schokoladencharakter.“Am Gaumen ist der reinsortige Nebbiolo aus dem Piemont üppig, mit guter Struktur und seidigen Tanninen, die dem jungen Barolo schon jetzt eine große Harmonie verleihen. Auch hier herrlich fruchtbetont: rote Pflaumen und Kirschen ergeben mit den samtigen Tanninen ein schönes Zusammenspiel, dazu kommen abrundende Noten von Brotkrusten und Karamell. O’Keefe schreibt von Aromen von Schwarzkirsche, reifer Himbeere und Tabak sowie einem Hauch von Wild neben dichten, samtigen Tanninen.Auch in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gibt es 93 Punkte für den Barolo Tortoniano 2016, „ein zugänglicher und aufstrebender Wein, der Ihnen die Komplexität und Nuancen der Nebbiolo-Traube zeigt mit einer fruchtbetonten und ,food-friendly‘ Persönlichkeit.“Das Weingut Michele Chiarlo wird auch wegen seiner Pionierarbeit im Piemont so hoch geschätzt. Die Minderung der Pro-Stock-Erträge und das spätere Ernten der Trauben für eine ideale Reife waren Maßnahmen, die das Familienweingut bereits in den 1980er-Jahren umsetzte.Der Jahrgang 2016, schreibt Winemaker Stefano Chiarlo, wird für seine außergewöhnliche Qualität in Erinnerung bleiben. Zwei Jahre reifte der Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo in großen Eichenholzfässern. Genießen Sie diesen italienischen Rotwein bei einer Trinktemperatur von 17-18 Grad.

Nero Grande Appassite Puglia IGP 2021

This wonderfully intense red wine from Apulia offers majestic notes of blueberries and blackberries, well rounded off by hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and warm, with lovely, sweet nuances. Using the traditional Appassimento method, the grapes ripen beyond the ripeness date and dry on the vines. They shrivel almost to the size of a raisin, thus gaining aromas, acidity and a higher sugar concentration. The exceptionally rich wines produced from these grapes are characterised by an intense bouquet offering notes of dried fruit. These wines are also full-bodied and show a remarkable spice.The Italian wine expert Luca Maroni awarded this wine 97 points (Luca Maroni Award 2018).
