Matetic EQ Organic Pinot Noir 2015
Matetic EQ produces this Pinot Noir following organic and biodynamic procedures. It carries an appealing aroma of strawberry, light raspberry, sweet cherries and plum. On the palate it is medium to rather dry but it is smooth and medium weighted with notes of oak, vanilla, cherries and raspberries. Biodynamic viticulture is one strut in the tripod of eco-friendly practices the Matetic Vineyard follows in its winemaking - it is certified organic and sustainable as well as biodynamic. Regarding the Rosario Valley as a single organism, the team works hard to maintain the health of the ground (using Rudolf Steiner’s preparations of quartz, manure, herbs etc in cow horns but only using indigenous materials), the crops and the varied animal life in the ecosystem. Grape pomace is added to compost from the restaurant to be reused in the Matetic vineyards, as is water which has been used to clean barrels. Food Pairing: This organic Pinot Noir is well suited to a poultry based dish or game meats like venison or veal.
Piancornello, Rosso Di Montalcino 2019
Piancornello Rosso di Montalcino shines with a bright ruby colour and a nose full of red and black berries, liquorice, and a touch of sweet tobacco. On the palate it’s firmer and more structured than the estate’s Campo della Macchia, with chewy tannins, slightly lower acidity, and beautifully judged oak framing its cherry and plum fruit. Made entirely from Sangiovese grown in the same vineyards as Piancornello’s Brunello di Montalcino, this Rosso skips the extended ageing of Brunello DOCG. Instead, it spends 10 months in tonneaux (about a quarter of which are new) before bottling, capturing freshness while still showing depth and character.
