I Muri Primitivo Puglia IGP 2024
Region: Italy, Puglia, Salento, Apulia
Grape Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Background: The vineyards are mostly situated in the communes of Manduria and Sava and are owned by growers with whom Filippo has been working for many years. Production is lower than its potential, which ensures the best quality grapes are selected. The red soils are calcerous clay and rich in iron, minerals and nutrients. 80% of the grapes come from old bush vines and the rest from trained vines that are at least 20 years old.
Winemaking Process: The grapes were gently pressed and cooled to 10ºC for a maceration period of 10-12 days with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start fermentation, which took place under temperature controlled conditions of up to 20 ºC. The wine was then transferred to oak barriques for a short time for fining, before bottling.
Tasting Notes: For those who love shiraz - try Primitivo - one of the most hedonistic grapes - always loaded with "berried fruits", spice, leather and vanilla. Deep ruby red colour with violet reflections. This wine has red berry fruit perfumes with a hint of spice. Full-bodied with firm tannins, this wine is well balanced with lots of ripe fruit flavours.

Vesevo Beneventano Falanghina 2024
Region: Italy, Benevento, Campania

Zolla Primitivo Di Manduria 2021/2022
Region: Italy, Puglia
Grape Variety: 100% Primitivo
Background: The vineyards are mostly situated in the communes of Manduria and Sava and are owned by growers with whom Filippo has been working for many years. Production is lower than its potential, which ensures the best quality grapes are selected. The red soils are calcareous clay and rich in iron, minerals and nutrients.
Winemaking Process: 80% of the grapes come from old bush vines and the rest from trained vines that are at least 20 years old. The grapes were gently pressed and cooled to 10ºC for a maceration period of 10-12 days with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start fermentation, which took place under temperature-controlled conditions of up to 20 ºC. The wine was then transferred to second and third passage oak barriques for six to eight months before bottling.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red colour with violet tones. Intense and complex perfumes of red cherries and blackberries, with some spice and leather which follow on to the palate. This wine has a rich and velvety texture, generous tannins and great length.

Tenuta St. Anna Frizzante
Region: Italy, Veneto
Background: The most famous Italian bubbles in the half-sparkling version: the modern way of tasting Prosecco DOC. The second fermentation in pressurized steel tanks and the pressure that does not exceed the three atmospheres make it ideal to be enjoyed by the glass or the whole meal. This “frizzante” wine combines the traditional production of Tenuta Sant'Anna with the innovative closure: the screw cap.
Tasting Notes: Straw-yellow colour of medium intensity. In the glass it forms a crown of dense, particulate froth, replenished with small long-lasting bubbles. The bouquet produces aromas of acacia, peach and pear flowers. Easy and pleasant to taste, initially fresh and soft to the palate, the flavour gives way to fruity notes and an agreeable element of sapidity.

Background: This wine has a great personality, it is obtained by selecting only a particular kind of grapes from the Valpolicella Classica region: the “recie”, the “wings” of the clusters, the sweetest and straggliest part.

Tasting notes: Deep ruby red colour. Floral and fruity scents, it reminds of violet and wild rose, becoming a wonderful mix of raspberry, redcurrant and sour cherry jam. Velvety, pleasant taste, smooth, sweet but never cloying.

Bricco dei Guazzi Albarossa 2020
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Grape Variety: 100% Albarossa
Winemaking Process: Hand harvested grapes, crushed and destemmed, left to macerate in contact with the musts at temperatures between 25°C and 28°C for a week in large steel vats. Frequent pumping over allows for optimal extraction of the colour and a good body.

A bottle aging process of at least 4 months follows.
Tasting Notes: A deep, almost impenetrable, ruby red wine. Warm and embracing to the nose with intense aromas of blueberry and other red berries, mixed with aromas of roasted coffee and leather following through on the palate which is rounded and full-bodied, a great explosion of fruit bolstered by a tannic profile which yields an outstanding wine.
Food Pairing: It superbly pairs with the most typical dishes of Montferrat culture especially those based upon meat.

Tenuta St. Anna Prosecco Extra Dry
Region: Italy, Veneto
Background: The number one Prosecco of the Tenuta St. Anna impossible to imitate. This sparkling wine is the pride of the Azienda and practically needs no introduction: year after year it confirms its supremacy with that ever-popular pleasant taste.
Winemaking process: The harvested grapes are de-stemmed and crushed gently. The must obtained is transferred into steel vats where the process of transformation into wine takes place at controlled temperatures. Once the wine has been obtained, the process for transformation into sparkling wine begins: a selection of yeasts is put in the tanks which over a period of four months will transform the wine into a refined sparkling wine.
Tasting notes: Straw yellow with light hints of green. On serving, it forms a dense and refined foam, which persists at length, feeding on tiny bubbles. Hints of peach, pear and acacia blossom. Easy and pleasant to drink, initially fresh and soft on the palate; it gives way to flavours of fruit and a pleasantly tangy aftertaste.
Food pairing: Very versatile, it is delightful as an aperitif, with hors d’oeuvres and appetisers in general, as well as with light charcuterie and cheeses.

Pronounced florality that subsides for apple and pear fruity notes. Unlike many Pinots, this has a good amount of weight and concentration that works in tandem with a measured acidity.
