Clos I Terrasses, Laurel 2020
The Laurel - the second, younger vine wine from Clos I Terrasses - is a fabulous wine in its own right. The warm soils of Gratallops and a blend of mostly Grenache and a little Syrah (with decreasing amounts of Cabernet) means we’ve previously called it “ a Latin-tinged Châteauneuf-du-Pape. ” Pair with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses to allow its complex flavours to shine.
Schola Sarmenti Diciotto Primitivo 2021
An extraordinary expression of Primitivo crafted from ancient 85-year-old vines, Diciotto represents the pinnacle of Salento winemaking. This powerful yet graceful red reflects the heritage and strength of its old Alberello Pugliese vineyards. Vineyard & Production The vines, planted at a density of 4,200 plants per hectare, yield just 400–600 grams per plant—an incredibly low yield that ensures remarkable concentration. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully placed into airy crates to preserve integrity. The wine matures for 14 months in French oak tonneaux, followed by 12 months of bottle ageing, achieving exceptional balance and refinement. Tasting Notes A sincere and precise expression of Primitivo, Diciotto reveals deep, ripe fruit aromas intertwined with tobacco and soft undertones of chocolate and coffee. On the palate, it is velvety and expansive, with refined tannins that unfold gracefully. Its dense yet delicate texture lingers persistently, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and power. Food Match Ideal with braised meats, rich stews, or dark chocolate desserts. Grape Primitivo 100%
