Arnaldo Caprai, Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG 1997
Grape Variety – 100% Sagrantino
Sagrantino is an Italian grape variety that is indigenous to the region of Umbria in Central Italy, and makes some of that region's most distinctive wines. The origins of the grape are widely disputed, but what is known is that it was used primarily for dessert wines for many years, the grape being dried in the passito style, much like a Recioto di Valpolicella.
At some point, the wines were made in a dry style, and that is how they are primarily produced today. The grape is one of the most tannic varieties in the world, and creates wines that are inky purple with an almost-black center. The bouquet is one of dark, brooding red fruits with hints of plum, cinnamon, spicy and earth, full-bodied and alcoholic strength between 13 and 15 percent degrees.
The Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG requires 100 percent sagrantino used, with a required 28 months aging before release. Sagrantino is of excellent storability. A more approachable and affordable Montefalco Rosso usually contains only 10-15% sagrantino and allows up to 70 percent Sangiovese and other grapes in the blend.
Arnaldo Caprai is the acknowledged leader in the production of top quality Sagrantino di Montefalco.
Armando Piazzo, Barbaresco DOCG Riserva 2001
Grape Variety – 100% Nebbiolo
Cigliuti, Barbaresco DOCG Serraboella 2001
Grape Variety – 100% Nebbiolo
Giovanni Rosso, Barolo Cerretta DOCG 2000
Grape Variety – 100% Nebbiolo
Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo Cannubi S.Lorenzo Rocche DOCG 2000
Grape Variety – 100% Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo produces lightly colored red wines can be highly tannic in youth with scents of tar and roses. As they age, the wines take on a characteristic brick-orange hue at the rim of the glass and mature to reveal other aromas and flavors such as violets, tar, wild herbs, cherries, raspberries, truffles, tobacco, and prunes. Nebbiolo wines can require years of aging to balance the tannins with other characteristics.
They’re characterized as being rich, full-bodied and chewy. These wines often have a high alcohol content (13% and above), as well as fairly substantial tannins, both of which are easily supported by the wine’s hefty fruit flavors.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that enjoys the moderate summers and long autumns of Piedmont and Lombardy, requiring as much ripening time as possible to balance its natural high acidity. The Nebbiolo grape is also known as Chiavennasca, Picotener or Picutener, Pugent, and Spanna or Spana.
Romano Dogliotti, Moscato d'Asti DOCG Caudrina 2005
Grape Variety – 100% Moscato bianco
The Moscato grape, the most renown of aromatic varieties, requires a specific technique to preserve all the grape’s fragrance in the wine. The nose is fruity and aromatic, with hints of the grape itself, rose petals, yellow peaches, honey and lime flowers. A sweet, fresh and inviting wine, with a stimulating acidity.
