Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Ries. Trocken GG 2020
' Schloss Johannisberg is a legendary winery and producer of some of the world's finest and most highly regarded Riesling wines, thanks to over 900 years of winemaking history. Silberlack (Silver Seal) is one of the finest dry white Rieslings in Germany. Grapes for the wine were handpicked from vineyards surrounding the Schloss itself where the soli is Taunus quartzite with an overlay of fertile loam and a layer of loess, as well as a small amount of iron dioxide, which gives the soil a reddish colour. Fermentation took place in 1,200 litre old oak barrels from Schloss Johannisberg oak, lasting for six weeks. The wine was then left on its fine yeast lees until bottling to add complexity and weight to the wine. Serve with fish, seafood, wild fowl & smoked Monkfish roasted in herbs, Mediterranean grilled vegetables or wild garlic gnocchi. '
Villa Sparina, Gavi Di Gavi, Monterotondo 2021
The Monterotondo, the Cru, is the best of Villa Sparina - a full-bodied, creamy wine with minerality, acidity, vigorousness, longevity and elegance. The unusual and beautiful amphora-shaped bottle also makes it an excellent gift and a fun bottle to bring to the dinner party. Villa Sparina has 100 hectares of land, of which 70 are cultivated with indigenous grapes; particularly dedicated to Cortese and Barbera. The vineyards benefit from excellent and varied soils, enjoying optimal sun exposure and the mild, temperate climate of southern Piedmont.
