Fixin, La Place, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2020
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “ avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels ”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity.
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%
