Torre Fornello DONNA LUIGIA Malvasia Colli Piacentini DOC
Description: Donna Luigia Scotti Douglas, descendant of a noble Scottish family and widow of Count Zanardi Landi, grand duke of Tuscany, bequeaths the whole estate to her daughter in 1862. The will lists the whole of the Estate with great accuracy. In her will, Donna Luigia demands that the estate should never be split up, and that is why it came down complete to the present owner, including the vineyards, while it is fascinating to notice how each parcel of land had kept its own name. In 1972 the whole of the estate was sold to the Sgorbati family, winemakers of tradition from the surrounding area. Since 1991 Enrico Sgorbati, son of Giuseppe and Fernanda, has overseen winegrowing and in 1998 he started making high-quality wines in the old manor-house, now entirely restored. The vineyards of the Torre Fornello estate cover an area of 55 hectares on the hills around Piacenza, in the commune of Ziano. Here soil and climate are particularly suitable to winegrowing, an activity that has been going on since Roman times. The vineyards are under controlled cover crop, which forces the vines to a natural competition, resulting in lower yields per hectare, but of higher quality and more resistant to moulds. While every single winemaking and stocking stage follows the guidelines regulating organic products and the result is eco-friendly, high-quality wines. Clear yellow straw coloured wine with decisive golden reflections, intense perfume and immediate hints of fuit, at first evasively and then decisively. The intense and fruty flavour are both harmonious and pleasing. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £201.07

Santa Rita GRAN HACIENDA Sauvignon Blanc Lontue Valley Chile Description: One of the first and largest wineries in Chile, Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Don Domingo Fernandez and is now headed by Ricardo Claro Valdez. With a history stretching back over a hundred years, Santa Rita's combination of tradition and innovation, with a focus on terroir makes this prestigious estate one of Chile's best. The grapes come mainly from vineyards in the foothills of the Andes Mountains and due to the climate and terrior the Sauvignon Blanc variety takes longer to ripen, allowing the development of all its characters and concentration. This pale yellow coloured wine is showing fresh, bright citrus and pear fruit flavours followed by smoke and a touch of herb that makes this a lively and flavourful wine. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £81.39
