Patrizia Cencioni, Solaria 123 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016
This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life force of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion. Beyond the hectares of land freckled with olive groves are Sangiovese vines dedicated to producing Brunello di Montalcino. They aim for the highest quality, with all vineyards meant for Brunello production, whilst they also produce a hidden gem Rosso here that is effectively a "baby Brunello" for early drinking. The vineyards can be found in the southeast at a high altitude with soil composed of volcanic rock and compacted clay (or Galestro). They are harvested by hand and then fermented with indigenous yeasts.
Volnay Premier Cru 'Clos de la Chapelle' Monopole, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2023
The 2023 vintage, harvested under perfect conditions, highlights Clos de la Chapelle signature style of freshness, salinity, and fine tannins. These wines are approachable in their youth but have the structure to develop beautifully with age. This is our second vintage representing the wonderful Clos de la Chapelle, an exciting new domaine born in Volnay. Certified organic and practicing biodynamics, the domaine specialises in small-batch, terroir-expressive wines from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. "The marketplace has not yet quite fully woken up to Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, but judging by some of their 2017s (and since) it really should." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
