Brunello di Montalcino Bettina Cuvée Franci, Tassi di Franci Franca 2016
The Franci family, raised in Montalcino for many generations, started its business making honey by the patriarch of the family Guido Franci. The Franci Franca winery, run by his son Fabio Tassi, is strongly bonded with Montalcino’s territory since its origin. Its wine clearly expresses its tie to the land with elegance and uniqueness. The Bettina Cuvée was made in honour of Betty Sitt, philantropist and leader in the Sephardic community of Brooklyn and the Jewish community at large.
Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru, Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils 2021
The 2021 Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru from Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the elegance of this legendary vineyard. On the nose, expect delicate red fruit aromas - think cherry and raspberry - layered with subtle earthy and floral notes. The palate is silky and precise, with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant freshness that carries the fruit beautifully. Founded over hundred years ago, Georges Lignier has some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. Jasper Morris observes “ one of the strengths of the 16ha domaine is to have mature vineyards… replanted systematically in the 1950s with good vine material, not clones. ” The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008.
