Cadus Tunuyan Pinot Noir 2021
Cadus Tunuyán Pinot Noir hails from the high central core of Argentina’s Uco Valley, where this variety shows its most ethereal and exotic character under the guidance of winemaker Santi Mayorga. Production This wine is crafted from a low-yield vineyard at 1,400 metres above sea level, with alluvial soils and native vegetation promoting balanced ripening. Cool nights preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Fermentation is carried out with a portion of stems in open-top tanks, and 50% of the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of varying sizes and ages to enhance texture and complexity. Tasting notes Cadus Tunuyán Pinot Noir displays vibrant cherry and cinnamon spice on the nose, with subtle herbal notes adding complexity. On the palate, it is well balanced, with bright acidity, soft tannins, and a persistent fresh finish, expressing the elegance and typicity of high-altitude Uco Valley Pinot Noir. Food match Pairs beautifully with lamb, duck, grilled salmon, and aged cheeses. Also complements lighter game, mushroom dishes, or herb-roasted vegetables. Grape Pinot Noir 100%
Marchesi di Gresy Monferrato Rosso 2019
Marchesi di Gresy Monferrato Rosso is a remarkable 100% Merlot from Piedmont — a grape variety more associated with Bordeaux than Barbera country, but one that has found an exceptional home in the commune of Cassine in the Asto zone. Originally planted to blend with Barbera, winemaker Alberto decided the juice was simply too good to blend, and bottled it as a single varietal. Aged for 12 months in used French barriques followed by a further 24 months in Slovenian oak casks, this is a spicy, rich wine with forest fruits and plums on the nose, dark fruits, toasty cedar, and vanilla on the palate, with ripe tannins leading to a long, structured finish. Why You'll Love It This is 100% Merlot from Marchesi di Gresy, one of Piedmont's most respected estates, produced under the DOC Monferrato appellation from vineyards in the commune of Cassine in the Asto zone. The decision to bottle this as a single varietal rather than blending it with Barbera speaks to the exceptional quality of the fruit from this site. The extended oak ageing programme — 12 months in used French barriques followed by 24 months in Slovenian oak casks, totalling three years of maturation — develops extraordinary complexity and structure while allowing the Merlot's natural richness and fruit character to shine through. Winemaker Matteo Sasso oversees production, crafting a wine that is vegetarian and vegan-friendly. This is Piedmontese Merlot with depth, complexity, and genuine ageing ambition.
