73262 Dorset 6Pp:Feb Noble Rot NO. 11 SUMMER 2009 Welcome to our Summer Newsletter. It has been a pretty frantic first half of the year with lots of new wines, another great Anniversary tasting in May and also a new face in the shop! We will be publishing a full strength newsletter in the early Autumn, but for now we hope that you enjoy our latest offering and look forward to seeing you over the summer months. Happy drinking Introducing our new Staff Member Many of you will have noticed a new face in the shop and behind the wheel of the van, but just in case you haven’t met him yet, here is a little introduction to our latest member of staff, Bob Alsop. When did you develop an interest in wine? When the first good Australian wines appeared on our shelves in the Eighties. What is your favourite style of wine? Dry reds in general, with Bordeaux and Rioja being my favourites. What is the best drinking experience you have had? On holiday in France when the Exchange Rate was in our favour. And the worst? A Sunday Evening in Wales, years ago. All the pubs were shut and there was nowhere to drink! Who would be your ideal dinner party guest? The regulars from ‘Have I got News for you’. PRODUCER PROFILE: Castello di Luzzano, Rovescala, Lombardy Perched in one of the most beautiful spots in the area, the Castello di Luzzano sits astride a hilltop that straddles the border between the regions of Emiglia-Romana and Lombardia, with views over the hills of Oltrepo Pavese to one side and the Colli Piacentini to the other. The Fugazza family took ownership of this historic property at the start of this century with the estate now being run by the innovative and forward thinking Giovanella Fugazza, know locally as a true ‘Donna del Vino’, (Woman of Wine). Castello di Luzzano have 80 hectares under vine on a wide variety of soils, allowing them to produce an eclectic mix of wines from Barbera, Bonarda and Pinot Noir in Oltrepo Pavese and Malvasia, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chadonnay in Gutturnio. What is most striking about the wines of this property are their sheer individuality and distinctive character, imparted through a passionate attention to detail by Giovanella and her team both in the vineyard and the winery. The entire range shows a distinct sense of place, and reflects the careful selection of clones suited to each individual soil type to ensure the best possible results. The Castello di Luzzano estate has always been one of the leading producers of Malvasia in the Colli Piacentini and they produce two very different styles. The first is the delightful 6.5% 2008 Malvasia Frizzante Dolce (£10.45), a quirky take on Asti Spumante that delivers stunningly delicate, aromatic Elderflower fruit, with a gentle palate displaying just the right amount of sweetness and balanced acidity keeping the wine fresh and clean and supremely refreshing. Their ‘other‘ Malvasia is the tantalising, dry 2008 ‘Tasto di Seta’ (£11.45), which is intensely aromatic with a floral nose of acacia, cypress and mint. The palate is balanced and soft with characteristic fragrance with excellent length. Such balance and drinkablility is achieved through hand harvesting of only the very healthiest grapes, immediate pressing to retain delicacy and a cool fermentation to complete dryness. The wine is matured on it’s lees through the winter and then bottled and released in the spring. In addition to these two tantalising whites, perhaps the most stunning wine of the range, and certainly the most popular amongst our customers, is the 2008 Vena Rossa, D.O.C Gutturnio (£11.45). Made from 65% Barbera and 35% Bonarda it manages to be both beautifully juicy, rich and rounded whilst retaining cracking acidity and freshness. The nose showing perfumed red fruits and Damsons with an intense, juicy palate with crisp acidity and supple tannins. This wine is just as happy to be drunk with a simple bowl of sausage pasta as it would be with more refined red meat dishes. Also in the range is an atypical Pinot Noir ‘Umore Nero’ (£9.95) and also a ripe, plummy Merlot (£9.95) showing deep, earthy fruit and fine structure. Their flagship wine is the 2006 Luzzano 270 (£17.65), made from predominantly Barbera and shows seductive sweet plum fruit over a smoky spicy background and firm structure. With such an eclectic mix of wines, it is not surprising that we fell in love with this property and it is such a refreshing change to come across a really distinctive range that does not pander to fashions or ‘international’ styles to build a following, but rather relies on quality and individuality to make friends. In the relatively short space of time that we have been stocking these wines, they have managed to build a loyal following amongst everyone who has tasted them. We will be tasting the full range of these fascinating wines at a special 3 course dinner at Sienna Restaurant on 30th September. The finer details are yet to be decided, but to register your Autumn/Winter interest or find out more, please Tastings – A full list of contact the restaurant on (01305) our Autumn Wine 250022.

In the mouth, the flavours start as a rich, bready reserva Cava and then the palate develops an elegant red berry and pomegranate fruit character, finishing cleanly with beautifully balanced acidity. Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous! £17.99 per bottle. 2008 Aubun Rosé, Domaine de Lansac, VdP d’Alpilles, France – If we could organise a beauty contest for the wines on our list, this delicate, paler than pale rosé would win hands down. This cracking wine has a delicately aromatic quality, suggestive of dried petals and spring blossom, combined with a perfect fruit/acid balance.

  • 1511 Bonarda Colli Piacentini DOC, Castelli Del Duca 75Cl Info
    1511 Bonarda Colli Piacentini DOC, Castelli del Duca Story of the wine: Whilst the indigenous grapes of Italy represent a great strength there are occasions when it can be very confusing. Bonarda from Colli Piacentini is in reality Croatina, in contrast to Bonarda from Novara hills of Piemonte, which really is Bonarda. Croatina is hardly found outside the Emilia Romagna region. Historically this variety was given a second fermentation in the bottle so as to give it a gentle sparkle. Details: Grape(s): 100% Bonarda Area: From vineyards in the hills around the town of Piacenza. Av. Age of Vines:25 years Vine Density: 4,000 per ha. Training system: Guyot Harvest: Late September early October Yield: 98 hl.per ha. Vinification: There is 15 day fermentation in stainless steel vats at between 270-290C and a complete malolactic fermentation. There is 9 day maceration. Ageing: Aged for 3-4 months in large oak barrels and then kept in stainless steel vats. Pack size: 6x75cl Descriptions for Wine List: 1)A delicious, rounded wine with a full, fruity flavour and a lightly crisp finish. A slightly perfumed nose. 2)Italy’s local grapes are a great heritage and this example of Bonarda, from the hills around the old town of Piacenza, is typical, in that it is rarely found outside its own region and has a tradition of its own. A delicious, rounded wine with a full, fruity flavour and a lightly crisp finish. A slightly perfumed nose.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
