Silvia Vannucci's Piaggia Carmignano Riserva 2019 & 2020 Piaggia Cabernet Franc Poggio de’Colli

By
  We all know the story of Super Tuscan wines, how in the 1970's the likes of Antinori broke the rules and introduced French grape varieties to Italy. Hold on. Re-wind. Quite far, in fact, back to the 1500's when Henry II of France married Catherine de Medici. The French gifted the Medici family some Cabernet vines, which they planted in their vineyards in Carmignano. Carmignano is a tiny 110 hectare appellation in Tuscany, protected from the cold of the north by the Apennines, and from the vagaries of coastal weather by the Montalbano hills, with soils rich in clay and schist. It already had a great reputation for growing local varieties like Sangiovese - by the 1700's it had already been given a protected classification - and it has been blending these with Cabernet varieties for hundreds of years.

'The hallmark of the Gaja estate, the Barbaresco is sourced from 14 vineyards within Barbaresco and Treiso. For the 2018 vintage, there will be no single cru bottlings for Barbaresco' Jeb Dunnuck   Gaja Barbaresco has an extraordinary track record and this is a wine that the family have been making since 1859. It is 100% Nebbiolo sourced from the families various vineyards located in the municipality of Barbaresco. The winery was founded in 1859 in Langhe, Piedmont by Giovanni Gaja and it ...

By
  We are delighted to offer the new release of one of our favourite white wines... Michel Chapoutier’s superb white Hermitage; his 2018 ‘Chante-Alouette’.   The Hermitage Hill is most famous for its red wines, however the whites are genuinely brilliant but still remain somewhat under the radar.    'it’s an incredible white Hermitage that’s not far from the famed single vineyard releases' Jeb Dunnuck     This beauty is made from 100% Marsanne grapes that are hand-harvested from three different vineyards: Le Méal, Les Murets and Chante-Alouette.  Michel Chapoutier chooses not to use Roussanne ...
