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.

€ 369,00 NO VAT (private collection)Inky violet color. Highly perfumed, mineral-tinged aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, smoky bacon, olive paste and incense, along with suggestions of woodsmoke and exotic spices. Offers palate-staining, appealingly sweet and deeply concentrated blueberry, cassis, floral pastille, smoked meat, licorice and fruitcake flavors that show excellent concentration and are supported by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes sweet, broad and extremely long, with resonating florality and chewy tannins that build steadily.

€ 836,00 NO VAT (private collection) Aromatically this floats out of the glass, intense and concentrated but full of light and life. Waves of flavour come at you, from crushed raspberries, pomegrante and blackcurrant to fresher redcurrant and lemongrass set against richer truffles, crayon and smoked earth. Mouthwatering, this really is a vintage where you can see the impact of the biodynamic vineyard work, with a greater sense of sculpting and violet florality than you would have found in this Pauillac powerhouse a decade earlier, without sacrificing structure and depth. As it opens, the sweetness of a ripe vintage comes through in edges of smoked caramel. A beautiful wine, thoroughly enjoyable, extremely well-handled and set to power through the decades. Harvest September 15 to October 10, 30% of production in the main wine. Hélène Genin technical director Jane Anson review: Februari 2023 98 pts Add to cart -
€ 531,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2015 Sassicaia is incredibly elegant, perfumed and light on its feet. It has become even more wonderfully refined since I last tasted it. Sweet floral and spiced notes lead into a core of sweet red and purplish berry fruit. When it was younger, the 2015 was quite potent. Today, my impression is that, while the 2015 has gained some finesse, it is also starting to shut down in bottle. Wine is always a journey; the 2015 Sassicaia is a great example of that.

€ 1.512,50 NO VAT (private collection)Add to cartThe 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is magical. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from Arione, so the 2015 is 80% Francia and 20% Arione. That marks a return to Monfortino as a multi-vineyard wine, which it mostly was until 1978, when the first Monfortino from Francia was made. The combination of sites works so well. I remember tasting the 2015 as separate components and seeing what exactly the Arione piece adds, and that is aromatic explosiveness, texture and breadth. Rose petal, mint, sage, tobacco and cedar lend complexity. More than anything else, though, I am blown away by how utterly delicious the 2015 is. Of course, the 2015 will be better in time, but its pedigree is plainly evident today. Roberto Conterno gave the 2015 just five years in cask, the shortest time in wood for any Monfortino in recent memory, maybe ever. Like most producers around the world, Conterno is thinking deeply about what the optimal period of time in oak is. As for the 2015, it is a flat-out stunner in every way.
