Barbaresco Meruzzano 2019
The wines of Barberesco are often overlooked in favour of Barolo, but they are made with the same grape and can be savoured sooner. Here, Nebbiolo's tar and rose aromas that lead to tobacco-edged red fruit flavours are given full expression.
Schola Sarmenti Cubardi Primitivo 2023
A profound and elegant Primitivo born from 65-year-old bush-trained vines deeply rooted in the red soils of Salento. This is a wine of heritage and power, crafted with precision and respect for tradition. Vineyard & Production The old vines are trained in the Alberello Pugliese system at a density of 4,500 plants per hectare, yielding just 900 to 1,100 grams per plant. Grapes are hand-picked and carefully placed into airy crates before vinification. The wine is aged for six months in French oak tonneaux and a further eight months in bottle, allowing structure and depth to harmonise beautifully. Tasting Notes From these venerable vines comes a Primitivo that expresses authenticity and finesse. The bouquet reveals intense notes of ripe fruit, with inviting hints of tobacco, followed by a soft finish of chocolate and coffee. On the palate, it is velvety and enveloping, with gently expanding tannins that lend persistence and grace. The texture is rich yet airy, leaving a long and memorable impression that speaks of the wine’s strong personality. Food Match Ideal with braised meats, mature cheeses, or rich game dishes.
