100% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) red wine dry, “Pliocene lime-loam soils with fossil shells and oysters” at about 350m.N. The origin of Vino Nobile goes back to a centuries-long oenological tradition, where it was called “King of wines”. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG is vinified exclusively in particularly good vintages. It is the top wine of the very down-to-earth and nice winemaking family Natalini. Form of education: Double Guyot. Harvest: second to third week of October. Ageing: Long fermentation on the macers with intensive re-immersion and infusion in the initial phase, long static rest in the final phase, controlled temperature of a maximum of 33° Celsius. Maturation time: 36 months in wooden barrels (40% in Slovenian oak barrels to 25 hl, 60% in small French oak barrels), overall a significantly higher proportion of new wood than in the little brother Vino Nobile. Refinement in the bottle: at least 8 months. Tasting note from the winery: “Deep ruby red, intense aromatics with fruity and particularly spicy-herbaceous notes, intense and balanced in the mouth, persistent in the palate and velvety. The wine is full-bodied and has structure. Matching fried, red meat, game and matured cheese”. This Reserva is a real long-distance runner! Please allow time for storage and always enjoy decanted. The European wine magazine VINUM lists our Le Bèrne Reserva vintage 2016 among the TOP OF TOSKANA “Inviting aromas of raspberries and lilacs, tobacco and leather; in the mouth gritty, the tannins powerful, the acidity robust, but also a lot of grinding, in the harmonious finish rich aromas of ripe cherries and spices. Successful.

€ 311,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2018 Le Pergole Torte is dense, creamy and nuanced from the very first taste. Red/purplish berry fruit, spice, rose petal and a touch of new French oak all build as the Pergole Torte opens with aeration. As always, Pergole shows that extra touch of richness from the selection of fruit used here, with that added texture from French oak. As appealing as the 2018 is today, it is of course a very young wine that will need years to be at its very finest.

€ 405,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Sassicaia is one of the best young Sassicaias I can remember tasting, certainly on par with anything in recent memory. The preference here is picking on the earlier side relative to many neighboring properties, which is one of the reasons Sassicaia is always a wine of refinement more than opulence. At the same time, Sassicaia can be light. Not in 2021. All the elements came together during a long growing season to produce a rich, deep wine that marries textural intensity with classicism. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather, menthol, licorice and spice all race across the palate. Time in the glass brings out the wine's textural intensity and sheer power. The 2021 is one of the most concentrated Sassicaias on record. That allowed for long macerations, as long as 20 days for some Cabernets. Aging was 25 months in French oak barrels (95% French, 5% a mix of Hungarian and Slavonian wood), 40% new, 40% once-used barrels and 20% in twice-used barrels. One of the recent developments here is some bâtonnage in aging, which is used to build texture. That approach worked well in 2021. In a word: magnificent.

€ 439,00 NO VAT (private collection)There’s something intriguing, alluringly dark, earthy – animal, even – yet floral and packed full of rich black fruits and exotic spices that defines the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto. This impresses with its cool-toned dark berries and minerals, complemented by bright acidity and sweet inner herbal tones. It’s not yet ready to reveal all of its charms, though it drops subtle hints each step of the way. A bitter twang keeps the expression lively and fresh, while grippy tannins saturate deeply and leave the palate aching with youthful tension, as notes of licorice, clove and a hint of ginger linger. What a wine!

€ 749,00 NO VAT (private collection) Deep ruby red with light red rim. On the nose redcurrant, plum, exciting brown spices, menthol, marzipan, liquorice and balsamic notes. On the palate, a beautiful breadth with a vibrant finish, this beautiful wine flows almost weightlessly and reveals a cornucopia of dark berries, some truffle and a fine mineral note as it continues to drink. The sweet tannins combine ideally with the explosive fruit and in the end, this exceptional vintage leaves such a clear, sparkling clean impression that one can almost breathlessly await its further developmentAdd to cart
