Castello di Ama VINSANTO Tuscany
Description: Voted Winery of the Year 2005 by the Gambero Rosso, Ama’s history goes back to 1972 when four Roman families united to purchase the Ama estate with the goal of restoring it to the splendour of its 18th century heyday. New cellars were built, new plantings began with experimentation into non-indigenous varietals, and new methods of viticulture were pursued while in 1982 Marco Pallanti was introduced as winemaker. The grapes that produce this Vinsanto were selected from the best malvasia bianca and trebbiano fruit from a total area of about 5 hectares in the Bellavista, Casuccia, and Bertinga vineyards. No more than 1-2 clusters per vine are suitable for producing this wine; such rigorous standards are necessary to ensure absolutely healthy, fully ripe grapes. Using the most experienced hand-harvested pickers a total of 214 quintals of exceptional malvasia and trebbiano toscano was selected.. The clusters, tied together and hung in special well-ventilated, open drying-lofts over a period of 60 days, lost 70% of their weight, thus concentrating their sugars. The whole clusters were then crushed and lightly pressed. The must was clarified by settling, and 200-litre lots then went into used Allier oak barriques. It then underwent the traditional fermentation in stages until the levels of alcohol and residual sugars brought an end to the fermentation. Finally, the Vinsanto was racked off the gross lees and returned to barrels to undergo 6 more years of oak ageing. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (6 x 37.5 cl)

Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin AC
Description: This Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Claude Boisset is made using fruit from old vines, primarily from two Premier Cru vineyards in Gevrey. Boisset used to buy wine from the grower who owns the Crepiot vineyard, but since Gregory's arrival they buy grapes instead. In addition, Gregory has worked closely with the grower to improve the quality of the fruit arriving at the winery. This quality shines through in the finished wine, which has lovely black cherry fruit giving way to a minerally yet luscious character on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)
