2010 Pianirossi, Maremma Toscana - Magnums - Special opportunity this summer

By

Over the past couple of years many of our clients have been enjoying the outstanding 2010 Pianirossi.  The beautiful 40 acre estate is situated in Maremma, to the south west of Montalcino.  Stefano Sincini purchased the estate over 30 years ago and alongside winemaker Carlo Ferrini, they have overseen the continued improvement in quality.

Pianirossi is an estate that is still somewhat under the radar of most Italian wine lovers, which is just the way we like it to be... so it remains an outstanding bargain!

Special opportunity available for 2010 magnums!

The 2010 is a beautiful, mature Tuscan blend from a great Tuscan vintage.

 

 

The estates flagship wine is a lovely blend of 40% Petit Verdot, 30% Montepulciano and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.  These grapes combine wonderfully, producing a classic Super Tuscan, with a touch of Bordeaux aristocracy.

'This is a full intensity Tuscan blend that shows thickness, dark extraction and heavy red fruit aromas. Crushed black pepper, leather and wet terra-cotta also fit into this unique aromatic equation. The wine presents a full bodied style with sweet cherry and tangy Indian spice on the close.'

 Monica Larner - The Wine Advocate

Twelve years on from the vintage, the 2010 is drinking beautifully, with silky soft tannins, ripe fruit and deliciously mature complex aromas and flavours.  

The regular price for magnums of this superb wine is £70 - contact us this summer to find out about our special summer pricing!

The truly magical 2016 Château Cos d’Estournel

By
  We are delighted to offer a parcel of the truly magical 2016 Château Cos d’Estournel.  Château Cos d'Estournel is named after its 19th century owner, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, and it was he who built the beautiful oriental edifice that is a landmark for any tourist in the Médoc. Today Cos d'Estournel is without doubt the leading estate in St-Estéphe.  It is located in the south of the appellation on the border with Pauillac and its vineyards are superbly sited on a south-facing gravel ridge with a high clay content, just north of Lafite. ‘This is a monumental, benchmark Cos d’Estournel that will give not years but decades of pleasure’ Neal Martin   ...

2018 Gaja Barbaresco

By
  This week we had the opportunity to taste the extraordinary new release from Gaja - the 2018 Barbaresco - with Gaia Gaja at Maccelaio restaurant in London.  The wine was absolutely stunning and this came as no surprise, as  Gaja decided to include all of their famed single vineyard juice (from Sori San Lorenzo, Sori Tildin & Costa Russi) into their estate Barbaresco.   Perfumed, complex and with such beautiful finesse and elegance, it was simply a joy to taste. '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 ...

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. Roll forward to the 1970's, and Maur...
