Ca dei Frati Ronchedone Rosso 2021
Ca' dei Frati Ronchedone Rosso is an elegant red wine from the southern shores of Lake Garda, crafted from a blend of Sangiovese, Marzemino and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine shows depth, balance and expressive character, reflecting the quality and precision of the Dal Cero family's winemaking on the well-drained alluvial soils deposited by ancient glaciers. Why You'll Love It This is Lake Garda red wine at its finest—elegant, balanced, and beautifully crafted. The Dal Cero family moved to Ca' dei Frati in 1939 and quickly recognised the potential of the southern shores of Lake Garda for fine grape growing. Franco Dal Cero manages the vineyards while Igino Dal Cero oversees winemaking, blending meticulous vineyard practices with careful cellar techniques. The family were instrumental in the creation of the Lugana DOC in the late 1960s and today are its largest vineyard owners. The result is a wine with exceptional depth, balance and character. Vineyard & Production The estate's vineyards are planted on glacial soils deposited by ancient glaciers, which moderate vine vigour. The lake tempers hot summer temperatures, creating ideal conditions for expressive and balanced wines. Vines are trained low on single or double Guyot, with newer plantings having higher density, while yields remain below the regional average. Warm days provide weight and intensity, while cool nights from the lake's influence retain freshness and aromatic expression. Grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted before gentle pressing. The wine is matured carefully to develop complexity and texture. Tasting Notes This elegant red wine displays depth and balance. The palate shows expressive character with ripe fruit, structured tannins and a refined finish, reflecting the quality and precision of the Dal Cero family's winemaking. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with grilled meats, roasted poultry, pasta with red sauce, aged cheeses, or Italian cuisine. Also excellent with hearty dishes
Château Angludet 2021
Known for its consistent quality and classic Margaux character, Château Angludet is a well-respected estate that has produced wines with finesse and structure for over a century. When Benjamin Sichel took charge of wine-making operations at Château Angludet in 1989, he set himself the task of optimising the vines' natural balance. In Benjamin's view, the vines ought to be allowed to regulate themselves naturally, without any assistance. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was challenging, with a cooler growing season compared to the previous hot and dry years. Frost early in the season, followed by a cool, wet summer, required careful vineyard management. However, the cooler conditions resulted in wines with lower alcohol, higher acidity, and more restraint. In the hands of experienced producers like Château Angludet, the vintage showcases freshness, purity of fruit, and a more classical Bordeaux style, with emphasis on elegance rather than concentration.
