For those who missed my offer in March, 2009, I am pleased to re-offer them, again. Nevertheless, "Wine for Asia 2008" yielded some positive results for at least one exhibitor. His portfolio of wines have just arrived and available for sale. Special prices through this newsletter and HappyVines.com online. FRIZZANTE WINE La Monella, 2008, Braida, Piemonte, Italy $45.00 Barbera 100%. - 12,5%. Colour: vivid ruby red/violet; lively, slightly sparkling foam. Fragrant, extroverted, winey nose, with hints of red berries. Extraordinarily lively taste, very fresh, “happy and irrepressible”, good body and delicate structure. STILL WHITE WINES Azienda Agricola Dr. Gian Piero Broglia, Piemonte - Italy The farm Piero Broglia was founded by Bruno Broglia and was rented by his son, Piero, in 1972. With a degree in Law achieved at the University of Milan, he was elected a Member of Parliament for the Novi Ligure constituency. During his mandate he was also a member of the Parliament Agriculture Committee and took part into the relevant works. He has also been President of the Consortium for the protection of the Gavi and, the first in Italy, has founded the local register of the vineyards owners through the surveying of the vines via satellite. The Gavi La Meirana was served on the Vatican tables during the celebrations for the 25 years of Pope John Paul II's pontificate and offered during the official banquets of several Italian Embassies. The most prestigious wine produced is the Gavi D.O.C.G. di Gavi Bruno Broglia which comes from the vineyards planted in 1953 and 1955. The yield of these vineyards over the years has been, on average, from 30 to 40 quintals per hectare. Gavi Di Gavi, La Meirana, 2007 $40.00 The most representative and classic wine produced by Broglia. Fruity and fresh flavours, extraordinary characteristics typical of the area of Gavi, with a hint of almond. 89 Parker points Gavi Di Gavi Bruno Broglia, 2007 $49.00 This wine represents the best production of La Meirana, low yield from the oldest vines. The characteristics of the grapes, because of their structural richness and acidity, allow this wine to be preserved for years maintaining the same flavour and freshness. Its bouquet is delicate and very persistent. Carjcanti 2006, Gulfi, Sicily - Italy $48.00 CARJCANTI is a blend of native Carricante and Albanello, autochthonous white grapes which have been cultivated for centuries on Mount Iblea in the province of Ragusa. 12,5 % The lively tartness and prevalent sensation of mediterranean herbs suggest serving it alongside the more “ difficult “ fishes, namely mollusks and shellfish. It is also an intriguing accompaniment to pasta and risotto dishes made with fragrant vegetable and topped with fresh cheeses. Parker : 88 points STILL RED WINES Querceto di Castellina, Tuscany - Italy In the centre of beautiful Tuscany, between Castellina and Radda, Jacopo di Battista with the help of winemaker Gioia Cresti offers a traditional Chianti Classico as well as an I.G.T. Super Tuscan. The excellent layout of the vineyards, the microclimatic conditions, and the low yields allow the wines to express the complexity and elegance that characterize the land of Querceto. L ‘Aura Chianti Classico 2005 $46.00 80 % Sangiovese, 10 % Merlot, 10 % Ciliegiolo. 13 months in French Oak Barrels, ruby color, very fruity with aromas of berries, the taste is very round and pleasant but powerful, a great wine for dinner occasions. Wine & Dine, June 2007, 3-½ stars Podalirio IGT Tuscany 2006 $65.00 100 % Merlot. Wine Spectator July 2008 – 94 points – beat Tignanello in this Blind tasting ! Dark in color, with amazing aromas of crushed berry, violet and raspberry. Turns to mineral and fresh spices. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Complex, rich and refined. An amazing wine from this producer. Best after 2010. Aziende Agricole Sella S R L, Lessona, Piemonte - Italy This is a very exciting discovery for Nebbiolo fans; Lessona and Bramaterra are extraordinary terroirs, and the winemaking here is exactly what it should be. The Sella wine estates are one of the oldest active Italian wine producers. The Sella family has produced wine in Lessona from their own vineyards since mid 17th century, and has owned and cultivated vineyards in Bramaterra (at Villa del Bosco) for the same amount of time; the two estates were combined in 1881. Lessona and Bramaterra are in northern Piedmont (Alto Piemonte). This area constitutes the western part of a circle of the most noble wine-producing areas, known for porphyric soils, that extends to Gattinara and Boca. With Langa and Valtellina, these constitute the three classic areas for the production of Nebbiolo. Compared to the soils of Barolo and Barbaresco, the vineyards of northern Piedmont offer greater diurnal variation and soils that are richer in minerals. The personality of this area, capable of producing wines of particular freshness and aromatic definition, shows itself differently in each appellation. In the definition of aroma, the key quality of all great wines, the terroirs of Lessona and Bramaterra find their best interaction with the Nebbiolo grape, which gives a typical ferrous minerality here. This quality gives the wines a marked and well-defined mineral savor, rare in Italy and no less striking than that of the great red wines of Burgundy and the Loire. Clear balsamic notes of mint are present, too, and spices like white pepper and ginger. Other distinguishing aromas include floral notes such as geranium, and citrus (citron, bergamot). Structurally these wines are lighter and more elegant than those of Barolo and Barbaresco, with tannins that are perfectly incorporated even when young, particularly in Lessona, while in Bramaterra the wines retain a marked incisiveness. Lessona is today a very rare Italian version of an “AOC monopole”, an appellation entirely owned by one producer, Sella. The Sella family produces eight wines, mainly reds produced of Nebbiolo. The five top wines are made from grapes grown in vineyards that are at least 25/30 years old, with parcels that are more than 80 years old, particularly (but not only) the Lessona vineyard called San Sebastiano allo Zoppo. The grapes from young vines of Lessona and Bramaterra are combined to make the estate second wine: L´Orbello. Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2004 $68.00 80% Nebbiolo, 20 % Vespolina. Aged for 18 months in large barrels, then 12 months in barrique. About 5000 bottles produced in each vintage. From the single vineyard S. Sebastiano on the hill called Zoppo, one of the most respected crus in Alto Piemonte. This is the only wine that undergoes a brief aging in barrique. The vintage 2001, actually available for export, has been priced with the prestigious “3 red Glasses” award by the “Gambero Rosso / Slow Food” italian wine guide. Bramaterra “ I Porfidi “ 2004 $65.00 70 % Nebbiolo, 20 % Croatina, 10 % Vespolina. Aged for 24 months in large barrels and 12 months in barrique. Production : only 5000 bottles in each vintage. Gambero Rosso : 2 red glasses Bramaterra 2005 $50.00 70 % Nebbiolo, 20 % Croatina, 10 % Vespolina. Aged for 18 months in large barrels. From the vineyards of the historic Villa del Bosco, where the soil consists of grey brown porphyr, which produces wines that are austere, intensely ferrous and spicy, with the most intense and succulent fruit. Orbello 2007 $40.00 50 % Barbera, 30 % Nebbiolo, 15 % Cabernet, 5 % Vespolina. Barbera aged 12 months in stainless steel, the other varietals in barrels and used barriques. An extraordinary every day drinking wine. You will find the same mineral and spice as in the more prestigious Lessona and bramaterra, but in a fresher interpretation for immediate drinking pleasure. Gulfi, Sicily - Italy Since 1996, Vito Catania produces wine from the grapes that have always been produced by the Catania family in his estate, which is located in the commune of Chiaramonte Gulfi in the province of Ragusa . Driven by an innate passion for wine, Vito Catania begun a historical and viticultural research, in collaboration with Salvo Foti, to select the soils most suited for wine-growing in southwestern Sicily . The results of this research led the Gulfi estate to purchase more than 100 hectares of land planted with vines . The centre of the wine farm is located in Val Canzeria, below the town of Chiaramonte Gulfi , about 500 meters above sea level, in the area of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG wine. Here, as well as centennial olive groves, one finds the Nero d'Avola, which has since always been cultivated in the Iblean hills, and the Frappato together with local varieties of white grapes ( Albanello, Carricante, Moscatello ) . Scattered in the best areas of Pachino (Bufaleffi, Maccari, Archi, Baroni, San Lorenzo) in the Val di Noto (Siracusa), there are more than 60 hectares planted with Nero d'Avola. Within these few years, an exceptional collection of local terroir wines have been created at Gulfi which has been recognized by Gambero Rosso, Parker, and by wine enthusiasts all over the world.. Rossoibleo 2007 $40.00 Il ROSSOIBLEO is a simple red wine, best consumed young; another way of expressing the Nero d'Avola. Production area: Chiaramonte Gulfi (Ragusa). 13,5 %. A smooth and at the same time plucky wine that magnificently accompanies winter legume, multi-grain, and vegetable soups. It envelops and takes custody of the liquid aspect of soups, tender in capturing the theme of the accompaniment without ever giving the sensation of prevailing. Another intriguing possibility is that of drinking it with Mediterranean dishes that unite flavourful vegetables, herbs and cheeses such as an oven baked pasta with aubergines, parmesan, mozzerella, and aromatic herbs, or also the classic aubergine parmesan. Parker : 88 points Neroibleo 2006 $45.00 Il NEROIBLEO is a warm, solar red, with the striking characteristics of wine produced from the renown Nero'd'Avola, the Sicilian grape variety which has been cultivated for centuries on Mount Iblea in the province of Ragusa. Production area: Val Canziria, in Chiaramonte Gulfi (Ragusa). 13,5 %. A smooth and at the same time plucky wine that magnificently accompanies winter legume, multi-grain, and vegetable soups. It envelops and takes custody of the liquid aspect of soups, tender in capturing the theme of the accompaniment without ever giving the sensation of prevailing. Another intriguing possibility is that of drinking it with Mediterranean dishes that unite flavourful vegetables, herbs and cheeses such as an oven baked pasta with aubergines, parmesan, mozzerella, and aromatic herbs, or also the classic aubergine parmesan Gambero Rosso : 2 glasses Neromaccarj 2005 $65.00 Il NEROMACCARI is a cru made from Nero d'Avola grapes with complex and full-bodied characteristics typical of the wines from the area of Pachino where the native vines have thrived for centuries in an ideal environment. Production area: Val di Noto, between Pachino and Noto. 13,5 – 14 %. Dense and potent, deserves meat, noble poultry, those dishes in which the tartness is not enough as contrast. This wine needs the whole trousseau of concentrated tannins, able to penetrate the fibre without breaking-up. Moreover, the evident oak makes it perfect with hot and spicy dishes such as mutton sauce of Abruzzo and hard aged cheeses. Parker : 90 points, Gambero Rosso : 2 red glasses Nerobufalefej 2005 $65.00 Il NEROBUFALEFFI is a classic cru of the Nero d'Avola grape variety of Pachino. Production area: Val di Noto, the territory between the communes of Pachino and Noto in southeastern Sicily . 13,5 – 14 %. This is the wine in which the lively tartness of the Nero D'Avola is at its cleanest. With time, of all Gulfi red crus, it is that which tends to show the greatest elegance, perfectly integrating the contribution from the oak becoming a magnificent red for elaborated, intense fish dishes or dishes with wild mushroom and/or fatty meats in all types of preparation. Parker : 92 points, Gambero Rosso : 2 glasses, Steve Tanzer : 93 points Nerosanlore 2005 $65.00 Il NEROSANLORE' is a cru of the Nero d'Avola grape variety with floral characteristics. Production area : Val di Noto, between Pachino and Noto. 13,5 – 14 %. The most marine and insinuating Nero d'Avola. Its aromatic particularity makes it a perfect wine for fish sauces and dense fish soups; truly stimulating accompanied by elaborate Mediterranean risotto and pasta dishes in which one encounters tomatoes, herbs, capers, olive oil and eventually vegetables and blue fish. If you wish to have it with meat, we suggest trying it with the most perfumed and silky in particular, lamb and kid goat. Gambero Rosso : 3 red glasses, Steve Tanzer : 92 points Terms: Prices are NETT, including one delivery location. Pre-Payment with credit card, via HappyVines.com's PayPal invoicing.
