Italy

|
|
|
Wine is a popular drink in Italy. Grapes are grown in almost every part of Italy, with more than 1 million vineyards under cultivation. In some places the vines are trained along low supports. In others they climb as slender saplings.
Most wine-making in Italy is done in modern wineries. However, villagers who make wine for their own use sometimes still tread the grapes with their bare feet, until the juice is squeezed out. They believe this ancient method still makes the best wine.

Isola dei Nuraghi IGT
|
Turriga
|
Red Blend
|
|
Turriga offers a unique combination of fruit and spice aromas, including plum jam, cherry, rosemary, lavender, tobacco, and hints of eucalyptus. On the palate, Turriga is powerful, supple and round with a massive structure beautifully framed by fine-grained and balanced tannins. The finish is long and spicy. Long-lived, silky and complex, Turriga is the wine that put Sardinia on the wine map. A wine for special occasions and rich fare.
This legendary red was created by the brothers Franco and Giuseppe Argiolas with the support of renowned enologist Giacomo Tachis. A muscular yet elegant blend of 85% Cannonau and 15% Malvasia Nera, Carignano and Bovale Sardo grown in the Turriga vineyard and macerated for 16-18 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to fully extract tannins, flavors and color. After fermentation, Turriga is aged in barriques for 18-24 months, allowing for an austere, yet elegant and rich body.

Amarone
|
DOC
|
-NA-
|
|
This is one of the most exciting wines on the market, ofering explosive lavors of dried black cherry, cassis, trules, chocolate fudge and tar. Luscious and complex, this is a wine for rich fare.
A blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Sangiovese. After the harvest in late September to October, the grapes are carefully selected and the healthiest, ripest fruit
is placed in a well-ventilated room to raisin until January. They are then pressed, left on the skins for 21 days and fermented into the delicious wine that is Amarone. Reined in tank for three months and aged in barrels for 24 months before bottling, this wine spends a minimum of 6 months in bottle before it is released on the market, ready to be enjoyed or cellared for many more years.

Brunello Di Montalcino
|
|
Sangiovese Grosso
|
|
Bright ruby-red. Sexy, highly aromatic nose combines wild berry liqueur, smoke, leather, earth, coffee, meat and licorice. Lush, suave and smooth, with broad, silky flavors of raspberry and smoked meat. Rich but not especially sweet thanks to firm acids. Conveys an impression of concentration and extract perfectly supported by spine. Finishes broad but shapely, with firm tannins and excellent length.
