Arzuaga Crianza Ribera del Duero 2022
' The Arzuaga winery is in Valladolid, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin region. The wines come from La Planta, an estate belonging to the Arzuaga family in Quintanilla de Onesimo, in the province of Valladolid. This is an excellent location for vine-growing, as the plants receive the sun and moisture they need for the grapes to ripen perfectly. Fundamentally, Arzuaga wines are made based on three premises: the soil, the climate and the orientation of the vineyards. The local flora and fauna coexist perfectly with the vines in La Planta. The flora includes pines, holm oaks and savin juniper, and, among the animals are wild boar and red deer. This coexistence clearly shows the love the Arzuaga family feels for the natural world. The estate covers 1,400 hectares (3,500 acres) in a wonderful location in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin area: its Golden Mile. It was at the beginning of the 1990s when, after buying La Planta estate, Florentino Arzuaga began planting vines, building the winery and, of course, making wine. The Arzuaga Winery has 210 hectares (520 acres) of vineyards distributed between the immediate surroundings of the winery and the natural area of La Planta estate. The Arzuaga vineyards enjoy a unique climate: sunshine and clear skies in the daytime and cool, damp nights. This climatic combination means the grapes ripen slowly but perfectly, producing healthy fruit with plenty of colour, full of sugar and aromatic acidity. In this region of Castile, where low fertility is a feature of the soils, the Tinto Fino or Tempranillo variety is grown, together with the French grapes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 80% of the vineyards are more than 20 years old. Bodegas Arzuaga also has vineyards outside the province of Valladolid, in Malagon, in Ciudad Real, where its Pago Florentino wine is made. '
Rosso Di Montalcino, Patrizia Cencioni 2020
This exceptional family-run winery, led by a talented team of female winemakers, traces its origins back to 1989 when the estate's driving force, Patrizia, set her sights on producing Brunello. What was once a neglected property has transformed into a vibrant winery filled with life and passion. Amidst olive groves, the estate's Sangiovese vines are dedicated to crafting Brunello di Montalcino. With a commitment to the highest quality, all vineyards are focused on Brunello production, though they also produce a hidden gem—a Rosso that serves as a "baby Brunello" for earlier enjoyment. The vineyards, located in the southeast at a high altitude, thrive in soil composed of volcanic rock and compacted clay (Galestro). The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts, ensuring the wine’s authenticity and character.
