Soft & Supple Reds |
| Description: |
|
The colour is wonderful, typical of the Barbera varietal. The palate is surprisingly supple, round and soft, with good acidity. This wine has great ageing potential The name Fides means trust in Latin, and Pio Cesare Family has always had great trust in Barbera grown in the Barolo region. This Trust was reinforced in 1991 when we bought a new small estate in Serralunga d'Alba, close to our Ornato vineyard. This new estate has a perfect location, facing south and it could have been a great Barolo vineyard. Instead, we removed the Nebbiolo vines and replaced with Barbera, being convinced of the quality that we could obtain from such a great property. The perfect exposure, the microclimate of the area, and the peculiar selection of the vines, allows us to produce grapes extremely rich and concentrated. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with skin contact for about 10 days to extract the maximum of colour and fruit. The ageing for twenty months in small barrels of French oak and in casks of 25 hectolitres is contributing to the sweetness and longevity of the tannins. (12 x 75 cl)

Raspberry, violets and blackberries dominate the nose with a touch of vanilla enhancing the berries on the palate. 13% A 50-50 blend of Argentina's best red grape, Malbec and Bonarda, a long-term Italian ex-pat that is doing great things in the hills around Mendoza.

Fonseca 2000 Vintage Port
Description: In exceptional years Fonseca will make the decision to declare a classic vintage port. Only the finest wines, selected for their great intensity, depth and aging potential, are bottled under these vintage labels. On average this happens three times a decade. Renowned for their voluptuous rich fruit, mouthfilling density, tannic structure and grip, they are wines of breed, balance and great complexity. The Fonseca Guimaraens house style is one of richness and warmth, with a lush fruit intensity and a structure of both dimension and finesse. More voluptuous than massive, Fonseca Ports are coveted for their sumptuous yet refined body and great longevity. The backbone of Fonseca vintage ports are the wines drawn primarily from Fonseca's three quintas, all located in Cima Corgo: Quinta de Santo Antonio, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta do Panascal. Fabulous nose of crushed raspberries, blackberries and licorice. Full-bodied and velvety, with superclean fruit and a long finish (12 x 75 cl)
