Deltetto BRAJA Roero Langhe Piemonte

The Langhe Favorita Sarvai is a medium-bodied wine with a highly delicate orange-blossom scent that mingles with hints of honey, raspberry and stone fruits. On the palate it is crisp and fresh with lots of tangy fruit, again raspberry with citrus too. Good acidity makes this wine really fresh and lively. Antonio Deltetto has 15 hectares of vineyard in the Roero, the gently hilly region on the northern bank of the Tanaro. The soil is sandier in the Roero, and as a result the wines are more aromatic and less structured than those in the Langhe hills on the south bank. (12 x 75 cl)

Bricco del lupo is the charming name of a wine that has the power and elegance of the wolf. This wine is made from Barbera grapes and with minor addition of Pinot Nero. It gets its fresh, tart strength from Barbera, its ripe fruit bouquet from Nebbiolo and its mild tannin content from the French wooden barrique where it ages for more than 15 months. The result is a balanced, complex wine that has become renowned for its wide range of intense, persistent aromas and its world class flavour. The deep ruby red colour is almost opaque, and the bouquet emerges a little at a time, with refinement and elegance, to revela hints of cooked prunes, raspberry preserves, and currant and white chocolate syrup to reach a finale in which scents of various spices complete the fragrance. To the taste, it expresses bold, lengthy suggestions of black currant and ripe black cherry, while the body is soft, round, full, excity and thick, with a finale that is velvety and persistent.

Very intense, deep ruby red, with the purple reflections typical of young Dolcetto; the bouquet surprises with exceptional elegance and ideal interplay of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto : a chorus where Nebbiolo gives the peak performance and Dolcetto the background. Spicy and/or vinous notes characteristic of the two varieties, mellowed by aging. Very rich but non-aggressive, an all-around food wine for special occasions and complex, structured dishes. Blends famously include some of the world's most prestigious wines: our Bricco may well be the most historic and authentically Italian interpretation. Serve at 17/19º C., in an ample glass. Bricco del Drago was first released in 1969 and was the first ''Super Vino da Tavola'' in the Piedmont, possibly the first in Italy. Thanks to this long-standing reputation, Bricco del Drago may soon be recognized as an individual, specific DOC, ''Bricco del Drago''. Since 1995 vintage it is a Langhe Rosso DOC. The reason behind this wine is the incredible complexity and structure with which this soil endows Dolcetto, rendering it far from the forward wine it usually is. This particular Dolcetto, with the addition of a small percentage of Nebbiolo bestowing greater finesse and elegance, and after a judiciously timed sojourn in wood, is a complex, pleasing wine of superb breed and extraordinary longevity. Beacause of these distinguishing traits, Dr. Degiacomi, who created the wine, wisely choose to employ cru name rather than varietal name to identify it.

The Giacomo Ascheri Cellars originated in La Morra: in that area, where a place called “Ascheri” still exists, in the early 19th century the first vines were planted and the first wines produced. In 1880 the winery was moved from La Morra to Bra, where it is still situated today. In a world where wines are generally produced with the same grapes, the same technology, the same wood for ageing and above all the same consultants, Ascheri's aim is to obtain a wine which is the expression of the vineyard it comes from, the grapes it was made of, and above all Giacomo Ascheri own ideas. In order to achieve this, Giacomo Ascheri have chosen a natural approach, with a moderate use of technology, without changing the nature of the wine with special procedures. They have attached new importance to old oak barrel ageing making choices entirely by ourselves. A 100% Arneis, harvested in late September and aged 4 months in steel and atleast a further 2 months in the bottle. The wine is a pale straw colour with a fresh bouquet of fruit and hints of spicy. A Dry, pleasant palate of great freshness this delicate wine has remarkable balance and finesse. (6 x 75 cl)
