Valdipiatta Rosso di Montepulciano DOC

A well deserved silver medal for the 1995 Riserva, for this is a wine that has to be a must for all wine lovers, but still needs time to develop. A wine to buy, one of those few remaining cases and try a bottle a year to see how it develops! The 1994 has developed quicker and is thus more ready to be drunk. (12 x 75 cl)

The estate lies between Montepulciano and Montefollonico and consists of about 32 hectares of which 12 are specialised vineyards, situated between 330 and 350 metres above sea level on medium-textured clay soils of Pliocene origin. The cellar buildings, dating back to end of the 13th century, are in the small, well-preserved medieval town of Montefollonico. The Rosso di Montepulciano has plummy warmth and the reassurance of a well-kept barnyard. Notes of saddle leather and wild rose assail the nose, the palate is sweet, soft and gently spicy, and the finish suggests beeswax on old wood. (6 x 75 cl)

Il Paradiso di Manfredi is a tiny estate of 2.5 hectares in the heart of Montalcino. Manfredi purchased the estate in 1958 and worked on it throughout his life until he died in 1982 when his son Florio took over. Adopting many biodynamic methods and hand picking the fruit, great care is taken from the vineyard to the winery. After spending about 10 months in Slovonian oak this deep dark Sangiovese wine is showing good dark fruit aromas that develop on the palate and through to the good finish. (6 x 75 cl)
