93/100 James Suckling (2016 Vintage)
90/100 Robert Parker ~ Wine Advocate (2016 Vintage)

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

James Suckling "Offers more concentration on the nose with mostly notes of blackberry pie, plum cake and even some Christmas pudding. On the palate, the fruit is melded beautifully with chewy yet tight tannins and taut acidity. Great stuff for what it is." (2016 Vintage)

Robert Parker "The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino opens to a bright ruby colour with purple highlights. The wine is youthful and bright in personality with a full load of plump cherry and ripe blackberry. You also get hints of spice, crushed mineral and balsam herb to round off the bouquet. The mouthfeel is rich, generous and nicely structured. This is an excellent value buy (55,000 bottles were made).” (2016 Vintage)

The Winemaker "A traditional, fresh velvety wine, Rosso di Montalcino comes from the Estate’s best vineyards, the same that produce Brunello. It is made from 100% Sangiovese with persistent, fruity aromas and considerable structure. This is a very versatile wine suitable for average periods of aging." (2016 Vintage)

92/100 James Suckling (2016 vintage)

The Winemaker - "Renato Ratti Nebbiolo Ochetti is an elegant and fragrant red, ruby red in color. The nose expresses a fine and persistent bouquet with hints reminiscent of wild strawberries and raspberries. In the mouth, it is pleasantly bitter, velvety, light and full at the same time. Perfect in combination with skewered and grilled red meats, game, fondue with truffles, agnolotti, traditional white and red meat dishes enriched with spicy sauces."

1 x Tenimenti Mancini - Chianti Podere Della Filandra 2019 ~ Chianti, Italy

Bronze - Decanter World Wine Awards

The Winemaker "Intense and clean to the nose, it opens with very intense floral scents that are prolonged with an aroma of fresh red fruits. In the mouth, it is the soft, good sensation of warmth balanced by perfect freshness. The tannins are young but pleasant and well balanced by the body and freshness. Good olfactory taste persistence, after swallowing the aromas of red fruits immediately return."

The winemaking history of the Mancini family begins at the end of the nineteenth century with the construction of the first winery in San Polo and the cultivation of the first vineyards of the Podere Della Filandra. This continues with the subsequent acquisitions of the Tenute di Campriano and Muciafora, the most recent property. As early as 1926, the family became involved in the production of Chianti doc.

Jancis Robinson "Pear juice, lemon, off-dry. Functional, fine."

Falstaff Magazine "Filigree nose with elegant nuances of white flowers and a hint of wet stone."

Casa Vinicola Botter is a multi-awarded Italian wine producer. The company was founded in 1928 as a small business selling local Veneto wines in barrels. After World War II, it moved onto bottled wine and began to export internationally. Botter is now managed by the third generation of the family. Botter owns two wine estates; including Divici a winery with 100 hectares (250 acres) of organic vineyards in the hills around Treviso. These are planted with a range of classic Veneto varieties such as Corvina, although the initial focus has been on an organic Prosecco.

Wine Spectator - 'Sparkling Success' "Prosecco has brought Italian sparkling wine to the forefront of the wine world. Prosecco has almost become a byword to mean any sparkling wine. In reality, Prosecco DOC, the most widely available example from the region, is specifically the product of vineyards that span a large swath of approximately 70,000 acres through the Veneto and Friuli–Venezia-Giulia regions. The soft, creamy texture and approachable structure that people love is the result of the Charmat production method, and the pretty floral and peach flavours typical to the wine are characteristics of the area's native Glera grape, Prosecco's dominant variety."
