Description:
Established in 1980, Terre da Vino is an association of vineyard owners from DOC and DOCG estates in Piedmont. With 2,500 wine growers it cultivates more than 4,000 hectares organised into 14 Wine Co-operatives, located in the classic area of production. With a new modern winery and a focus on quality production from the vineyard to the bottle this is an exciting time for Terre da Vino. The grapes come from the classic Barbera area in the comuni of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme, and Clamandrana, all in the province of Asti. This wine is blended from vineyards with slightly different soils and microclimates so that the final wine will offer a better balance between structural solidity and bouquet complexity. The vineyards utilised a total of 60 hectares , and are part of the company's 'Superbarbera' project where the Terre da Vino viticulturists rigerously select vineyard that have low yields and a commitment to quality. Vinification is traditional, with a 15-20 day maceration on the skins and a 28-30oC fermentation, followed quickly by the onset of malolactic. The wine then matures for about 12 months in small oak, about 1/3 new; here, the wine, already impressively structured, acquires a multi-layered depth of flavour and character, evolving into a richly-nuanced Barbera of grace and expressiveness. This wine is a ruby-edge purple colour with a rich and deep bouquet showing a complex balance of violet, liquorice, and vanilla notes. The palate is crisp and dry, with a subtly-veined background of vanilla and wild berries, which carry through to its lingering finish. Available in Magnum bottles. (1 x 1.5 Litres)

Terre da Vino IL DIAVOLO SULLE COLLINE Barolo
Description: Established in 1980, Terre da Vino is an association of vineyard owners from DOC and DOCG estates in Piedmont. With 2,500 wine growers it cultivates more than 4,000 hectares organised into 14 Wine Co-operatives, located in the classic area of production. With a new modern winery and a focus on quality production from the vineyard to the bottle this is an exciting time for Terre da Vino. Barolo Chinato debuted in Piedmont at the end of the 19th century and quickly became popular for its reputation as a medicinal wine. The recipe followed for this wine calls for a natural infusion of China Calissaja bark, rhubarb root, and about ten other aromatic herbs. Il Diavolo sulle Colline was named after the book by Cesare Pavese and was chosen to represent the wine's magnificent sensory complexity, power, aromatic pleasures, as well as its profound relationship to the land from which it springs. The Barolo base wine for the 'Il Diavolo sulle Colline' Chinato is produced from grapes of the comuni Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, and Monforte d'Alba, which yield Barolos of pronounced character and structure, to which are added others from the areas of Barolo, La Morra and Verduno, which give wines greater fragrance and elegance. This wine is a deep garnet red colour with a bouquet that is full, rich, heady, and opulent, exuding spices and aromatic herbs. The palate is sweet, full-bodied, velvet-smooth and pleasantly bitterish in the finish. Available in half bottles. (6 x 37.5 cl) Price: £119.54

Terre da Vino PAESI TUOI Barolo DOCG
Description: Established in 1980, Terre da Vino is an association of vineyard owners from DOC and DOCG estates in Piedmont. With 2,500 wine growers it cultivates more than 4,000 hectares organised into 14 Wine Co-operatives, located in the classic area of production. With a new modern winery and a focus on quality production from the vineyard to the bottle this is an exciting time for Terre da Vino. With a rich historical tradition, the 'Paesi Tuoi' Barolo is the product of a skilful blend of carefully selected lots from two distinct areas. The Helvetian soils of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga and Monforte produce Barolos of great character and structure, while the Tortonian terrain of Barolo, La Morra and Verduno yields more elegant and fragrant wines. Vinification adheres strictly both to traditional procedures and to the official regulations for Barolo. A 20-25-day fermentation at ca. 30oC guarantees adequate tannin and extraction for the formation of a complex and cellar-worthy structure. The wine then goes to large oak barrels where it matures for at least two years, followed by another year in glass to achieve perfect balance. It is ready to leave the cellars four years after its harvest date and it can be enjoyed at that point or it can be given an additional 10-15 years' cellaring. Deep garnet red coloured wine acquiring orangish tints after some years' bottle-ageing. The bouquet is voluptuous rich, warm and generous, with complex scents of spices, liquorice, and dried violets. This Barolo is dry, with extremely full flavours, and well-integrated tannins that serve to accentuate the wine's classic qualities. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £127.15

Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Description: The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo and 5% Mammolo combines purity of fruit with great elegance. The wine is garnet in colour, its nose intense yet elegant and the palate rich yet tight and sinewy. Avignonesi is one of the great names in Italian wine. The Falvo brothers, who owned vineyards in the district of Cortona, took over Avignonesi in 1974 and invested heavily in the estate. They used indigenous grapes and also introduced international varieties alongside native grape varieties. Today, Avignonesi has 115 hectares of vineyard split between four estates. Two of the estates, Le Capezzine and I Poggetti, are situated in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano zone, while the other two, La Selva and La Lombarda, are located further to the east in the Cortona D.O.C. zone. Grapes for the Vino Nobile are sourced from La Stella vineyard on the Le Capezzine estate, as well as three vineyards on the I Poggetti estate. The use of alberello “bush or goblet” training ensures earlier ripening, something which in turn has given fuller, riper wines than Montepulciano was previously capable of producing. (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £101.36
