Le Pupille MORELLINO di SCANSANO Magliano Toscana
Description: The Morellino di Scansano is a blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Alicante and Malvasia Nera. It has delicious ripe fruit on the nose, with the cherry-strawberry hints characteristic of ripe Sangiovese. The Alicante adds greater depth of colour to the blend whereas the Malvasia Nera emphasises the perfume of this ripe, approachable wine. Elisabetta Geppetti has injected a great deal of dynamism into Le Pupille’s wines in the past few vintages, yet has been careful to look after the detail as well. This is illustrated by the quality and consistency of this, their basic Morellino. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Chateau Petit Village Pomerol
Description: Petit Village is located on the highest point of the gravel plateau in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, on the outskirts of the hamlet of Catusseau. The eleven-hectare vineyard is in a single triangular shaped plot and the soil is composed of a deep layer of gravel on clay-limestone subsoil. The winery buildings and outbuildings are situated around a courtyard, forming a sort of small village to which Petit Village owes its name. Work in the vineyard and cellar is done with the greatest of care; operations such as picking, fermentation and ageing in oak barrels are carried out in the finest Pomerol tradition. Petit Village is powerful, yet soft and well balanced. It has all the incomparable richness and finesse of the greatest wines of Pomerol. 15 months in barrels. Clay-gravel. "The finest Petit-Village since the 1982...impressive extract and a savoury, silky finish..." Parker, . (12 x 75 cl)
