Der Carricante Bianco DOC Sicilia Eruzione 1614 von Planeta aus Sizilien zeigt sich in strohgelb mit leicht goldgelb schimmernden Reflexen.In der Nase entfaltet dieser Weißwein von den Hängen des Ätna ein sehr feines, mineralisches und facettenreiches Bouquet. Noten von grünen Äpfeln, Zitrusfrüchten und weißen Blüten sowie leicht rauchige Nuancen prägen das eindrucksvolle Duftspektrum. Am Gaumen wirkt der Carricante Eruzione 1614 klar und geradlinig, fast aristokratisch mit feiner Säure und enormer Eleganz. Langes und anhaltendes Finale. Der Carricante wird auf dem neuen Weingut Planetas "Sciara Nuova" am Fuße des Ätna auf rund 860 Meter über dem Meer produziert.

"The 2020 Chardonnay Ciampagnis is seductively rich, enticing with a whiff of confectionary spice and custard that gives way to lime-infused peaches. This is round and opulent in feel, with a soothing wave of ripe orchard fruits contrasted by juicy acids. The 2020 comes across as dense yet giving at this stage, needing time to develop further depths. It finishes fresh and medium in length, leaving a slight herbal twang." ERIC GUIDO für VINOUS

"The Flors di Uis is remarkably pretty and lifted in 2020. Exotic florals and sweet spice complement green melon and hints of smoke. This boasts textures like nectar, forward in style yet perfectly balanced with ripe, mineral-tinged apple and pears. There is a seamless yet perfectly poised sensation here, as its zesty acids add verve and leave a pleasant inner sweetness through the finale, contrasted by a twang of sour lime. In 2020, the Flors di Uis is a highly enjoyable expression of contrasts that drive the palate wild. This is a blend of 57% Malvasia, 35% Riesling and 8% Friulano." ERIC GUIDO für VINOUS

"The 2020 Friulano Dolée opens with crushed stone, pungent florality, moist underbrush and hints of kiwi skins. It's soft and enveloping with ripe peach and tropical leanings, as zesty acids add a pinch of spicy tension. This tapers off with sapid fruits and long, as a pleasant inner sweetness gives way to hints of almond paste. A sexy vintage of Dolée." ERIC GUIDO für VINOUS

"There’s a sharp herbal twang and note of flint that introduces the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Piere, as it softens with time in the glass to show chalk dust and sour melon. This is rich and weighty on the palate with ripe orchard fruits, yet it is struggling a bit with its focus at this stage, as a sour twang of green citrus adds a tug of tension. It tapers off long and spicy with hints of tangerine and ginger. The 2020 needs time to come fully into focus." ERIC GUIDO für VINOUS

"The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris wafts up with a spritz of lemon zests and savory herbs complemented by wet slate. It’s silken and pliant with underlying energy, as today, the density of the fruit is more prominent; yet below it all, a saturation of saline-minerals collects. This tapers off long with sapid concentration, yet also the residual acids to balance. The 2020 is a Vieris to bury deep in the cellar. I’m having recollections of the 2012 while tasting this." ERIC GUIDO für VINOUS

Weitere Informationen Der Weinberg Rancia hat seinen Namen von einem alten Bauernhof, der in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einem alten Benediktinerkloster steht. Die Sangiovese Trauben stammen aus dem höchsten und edelsten Teil des Rancia-Gebietes, das sich in der Gemeinde Castelnuovo Berardenga auf einer Höhe zwischen 350 und 400 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel befindet. Der Weinberg besteht überwiegend aus Kalkstein, der hauptsächlich von Alberese (typisch für das Chiantigiano-Gebiet) und Galestro geprägt ist und bringt klare und super-elegante Weine hervor. James Suckling: "Plenty of fruit concentration with cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and lots of concentration. Intense and rich. Give it a year or two to come together. Better after 2021." Antonio Galloni - Vinous: "The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is incredibly polished and sophisticated. Silky tannins give the 2017 its racy, sleek personality. Over the last year, the 2017 has really settled into a gorgeous place. There is plenty of vintage 2017 intensity, but Rancia is distinctly medium in body and restrained. The wilder side of Sangiovese, one of the signatures of Rancia and Fèlsina more broadly, tastes a bit baked out. I can't wait to see how the 2017 develops over the coming years and decades." Robert Parker: "Rancia is always one of my favorite wines from this storied appellation (and the Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone). This vintage threw quite a few challenges at the winemaking team, but the Fèlsina 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia emerges intact, intense and beautiful. It is virtually unscathed by the heat and drought that marked this growing season. In fact, that brilliant radiance, linearity and energy of the Sangiovese grape comes through loud and clear. The bouquet is redolent of red fruit, wild berry, toasted almond, violet and potting soil. My score is a little lower (compared to past vintages) in terms of mouthfeel because I found this edition to be a bit shorter and less impactful on the finish, but not by much. It ages in barrique for up to 20 months. This vintage of Rancia saw 46,000 bottles released."

"There is a green, leafy edge along with vanilla aromas surrounding the black cherry and resinous oak flavors on the palate in this sinewy red. Finishes on the chewy side, with austere tannins. Needs time." WINE SPECTATOR "This is really subtle and complex with cherry, herb, floral and sage aromas that follow through to a full body with firm, fine tannins that give form and energy to the wine. Racy and very fine." JAMES SUCKLING "The Rancia is elegant and streamlined with a medium-bodied style that breaks from some of the more concentrated vintages we've seen in the past. The bouquet reveals a lot of dark or black character with blackcurrant, tar, resin, iron ore and a dusty hint of dry graham cracker (which reminds us of the vintage heat). Structurally, the wine offers a solid and firm footing, but it would benefit from further evolution." ROBERT PARKER "The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It's a magical wine in every way." VINOUS

"Generous, layered and rich, the Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows the generous fruit and deep layering that identifies this vintage. It also delivers a powerful 15% alcohol. This edition (with 69,000 bottles made) shows a bright note of sweet cherry that features strongly both on the bouquet and the palate. The wine shows lots of soft fruit with almond, spice and wild rose. From a hot and dry vintage, this Brunello is probably best suited to a near or medium-term drinking window." Monica Larner für Robert Parker "Aromas of cedar, berry, mushroom and burnt orange follow through to a full body with medium, chewy tannins and a fluid, flavorful finish. Not overdone. Drink after 2023." James Suckling "A pretty and fruit-forward display of ripe cherries, minty herbs and sweet smoke wafts up from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This impresses further with a juicy, fun mix of bright red berries and confectionary spices motivated by vibrant acidity. Hints of plum and licorice linger long over a slightly gruff coating of tannins, yet in the end, balance is nicely maintained. Well done." Eric Guido für Antonio Galloni "Rich and lively, exuding cherry, plum and blackberry fruit, with accents of earth and underbrush. Harmonious and accessible now, with fine length and a lingering, mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2024 through 2040." WineSpectator "Aufhellendes Rubinrot. In der Nase nach Blutorangen, Hagebutten, Minze, auch nach Eukalyptus, im Nachhall feine mediterrane Kräuter. Zeigt sich geschliffen und elegant am Gaumen, mit feinstem Schmelz, hoher Trinkfluss bei kernigem Tannin, sehr gut gelungen." Falstaff

Der Brunello di Montalcino La Casa DOCG 2017 von Caparzo zeigt sich in leuchtendem Rubinrot mit granatfarbenen Reflexen. In der Nase entfaltet dieser italienische Brunello Rotwein ein sehr eindringliches und facettenreiches Bouquet mit Noten von dunklen Kirschen, Pflaumen, Preisel- und Himbeeren untermalt mit feinwürzigen Nuancen von Kardamom und Nelken. An Gaumen wirkt der La Casa Brunello sehr elegant, geradlinig und finesenreich mit feinmaschigem Tannin und präsentem Körper. Wunderbar saftiges und anhaltendes Finale. Der Sangiovese in seiner besten Form, nur in den großen Jahrgängen hergestellt. Sein Name stammt vom Weinberg “La Casa”, der 275m ü. d. M. im Norden von Montalcino in süd/süd-östlicher Lage liegt und durch einen tendenziell lockeren Sandsteinboden geprägt, sowie reich an Skelettanteilen ist. Caparzo war eines der ersten Weingüter, die sich der Bedeutung des Terroirs bewusst wurde und diesen Einzellagen-Wein produzierte. Kaufen Sie jetzt in unserem Online Shop Galperino.de.

"The Casanova di Neri 2017 Brunello di Montalcino delivers unexpected grace and a floral profile that is not common to find in this scorching-hot and dry vintage. In faithful Casanova di Neri fashion, the wine is bold and dark in appearance, and although the bouquet is dominated by purple and black fruits, there is a brief interlude of fresh garden rose or lilac. That little moment changes up the momentum of this wine in a most positive way by allowing for a harmony of low tones and high tones that are well matched here. The wine is robust, structured and velvety to the palate, but ultimately this expression is far more delicate than I would have ever expected for a 2017 Brunello. This is a nice surprise." Monica Larner für Robert Parker "This fleshy red is introduced by graphite, mint and wild herb aromas, with plum and cherry flavors as the main themes and earth, tobacco and underbrush notes in supporting roles. Balanced, ending in a savory aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2043." Wine Spectator "Dusty florals, musky cherry and raspberry with hints of mentholated herbs waft up from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is enveloping and soft, with sweet exotic spices and juicy, vibrant acidity giving way to tart wild berries and rosy inner florals. There’s amazing length, hard red candies and violets, and sweet tannin that goes on and on, creating a somewhat chewy yet also fresh expression. The 2017 benefits from all of the fruit that would usually go into the single-vineyard Cerretalto Brunello, though even with it, production is down by 35%. That said, this is stunning juice." Eric Guido für Vinous "Funkelndes Rubin mit feinem Granatrand. Duftige und ansprechende Nase, eröffnet mit fein würzigen Noten, nach Koriandersamen, dann viel reife Kirsche, dazu etwas Rosenholz. Rund und geschmeidig in Ansatz und Verlauf, feine Kirschfrucht auch am Gaumen, herzhaftes, gut eingebundenes Tannin, süßer Schmelz im Finale." Falstaff

"The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso shows nice balance and elegance, and it definitely shows the deft hand of the winemaking team in what was not an easy vintage by any stretch. This pretty wine delivers lots of fresh cherry and wild rose, with ferrous earthy, licorice and grilled herb; I also get bay leaf and rosemary sprig. Like the annata 2017 Brunello produced by this estate, the single-vineyard Brunello Pianrosso is distinguished by a sweet cherry note (plus a hefty 15% alcohol) that accompanies the wine from start to finish. Production is 37,000 bottles." Monica Larner für Robert Parker "This is a beautifully crafted and polished Brunello for this vintage, with full body and creamy, lightly chewy tannins. Dark berries, walnuts and cedar with dried-flower undertones. Needs time to soften, but very pretty. Drink after 2024." James Suckling "A nuanced, delicate bouquet of dried strawberries, roses, hints of sweet spice and crushed rocks lifts up from the charming 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso. This is remarkably lifted, yet juicy and energetic, as ripe red berries and minerals cascade across the palate. It leaves a coating of violet-tinged florals, along with persistent raspberry and cherry tones. The tannin management here is absolutely stunning, as the Pianrosso finishes structured yet vividly fresh." Eric Guido für Antoni Galloni "Aufhellendes, funkelndes Granatrot. Eröffnet mit betont duftigen Noten, nach frischen dunklen Kirschen, etwas Hagebutte, feine Rosenblätter, erstaunlich frische Noten. Rund und geschmeidig im Ansatz, öffnet sich mit schön gereiften Fruchtnoten, griffiges Tannin, sehr gut platziert." Falstaff

"Alessandro Mori's Il Marroneto 2017 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a very distinguished and unique character that makes this wine easy to recognize in a lineup of Brunello. This hot and dry growing season made for more powerful aromas and sometimes riper flavors in the appellation, generally speaking. But this magically lean-bodied wine follows its own path, and the warmth of the summer seems to have cemented almost exotic aromas of bay leaf, crushed flower, campfire ash and iron ore. The wine is exceedingly silky and elegant, but instead of opulence, you get streamlined tension accompanied by lifted, immediate aromas of fruit, flowers and light spice." Monica Larner für Robert Parker "The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with vibrancy and spunk, showing woodland berries and herbs with crushed wet stone and undergrowth in an incredibly fresh and lively expression. It’s soft and pliant upon entry, enveloping with its saturating raspberry fruits and inner spice, as mineral tension builds, giving way to sweet, elegant tannins and inner florals. The 2017 shows a more slender yet well-muscled interpretation of the 2017 vintage, but it remains remarkably pretty and balanced throughout. Due to the vintage conditions and severe selection, production was down by 12%." Ian D'Agata für Vinous

"Out of the gate, the Il Marroneto 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows exciting purity and red fruit intensity. Compared to the Madonna delle Grazie, this wine has an ever-more lifted quality to the bouquet, whereas the Madonna has a firmer underlying texture that bodes well for longer aging. The character here is fresh, lively, youthful and vibrant. In fact, I would recommend drinking this wine while all those elements are still intact. The bouquet is crazy fun to describe: I get whiffs of black cherry, macchia mediterranea (which is not too different from what we call chaparral in California), peppercorn, dried cranberry and even a whiff of something that reminded me of the delicious rosemary herb mix you stuff inside roast porchetta. The base of the wine is light, almost weightless, but its structure and firmness do eventually catch up on the long finish." Monica Larner für Robert Parker - Wine Advocate "Il Marroneto's 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is a delicate and heavenly, perfumed beauty. Roses mix with lilac and violets before giving way to a dusting of sweet spice, nuances of plum and white strawberries. It’s wonderfully pure, seeming almost weightless at times yet with gorgeous inner sweetness and a complex display of bright red fruits laced with minerals, hints of licorice and building florality. The long and classically structured finish guarantees that no matter how enjoyable this may be today, it will only get better." Eric Guido für Vinous - Antonio Galloni

"This is one of my all-time favorite Brunellos, and although personal tastes are fluid and may change from time to time, there is something timeless and solid about this wine. It's like a touchstone. The Casanova di Neri 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is graced with a similar interlude of elegant rose or crushed flower that we saw in the annata wine. It appears more prominently here, and with more shape and focused intensity. Make no mistake, Giacomo Neri builds wines for pleasure and sensual impact, and this wine (helped by a hot growing season and 15% alcohol) ticks all those boxes. But it also shows floral elegance and sour cherry freshness that defies our expectations of the vintage." Monica Larner für Robert Parker "Expressive, complex and long, despite its compact profile today. Delivers black cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and tobacco flavors that prevail, while assertive yet refined tannins leave their mark on the lingering finish. Best from 2025 through 2042." Wine Spectator "The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Cascina Nuova lifts up with a layered display of peppery herbs, musky plums, black raspberry, crushed stone, tobacco and smoke. It’s silky yet juicy, pliant and staining to the senses, offering violet and lavender tones balanced by cooling acids and hints of candied citrus. The 2017 really plays with the palate; it’s spicy, long and intense, and lightly structured yet classically dry. Balsamic herbs, salted licorice – it goes on and on like a spice box menagerie. An elegant pleasure bomb." Eric Guido für Vinous "Sattes, funkelndes Granatrot. Intensive Nase mit Noten nach Granatapfel, roter Rübe, dann viel Zwetschge und dunkle Kirsche. Herzhaft und zupackend am Gaumen, dunkle Beerenfrucht, öffnet sich dann mit viel dichtmaschigem Tannin, im Finale fester Druck." Falstaff

"The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is gorgeous, full stop. It shows an incredible level of Sangiovese purity and sharpness, and you taste the grape as if you were eating berries straight out of the vineyard. On top of that healthy and bright primary material, the wine layers on elegant aromas of spice, ferrous earth, balsam herb and red rose potpourri. The aromas meet with seamless integration and segue to ongoing depth and complexity offered to the palate. This Riserva is rather delicate in terms of mouthfeel; however, it is powerful and long, with high alcohol, polished tannins and a silky texture. A hint of sweet cherry mixed with menthol freshness pulls it together at the end."Monica Larner für Robert Parker "Glorious aromas of flowers, nutmeg, dark berries, earth and black cherries follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins that are long and extremely polished. They go on for minutes. Reserved and shy still, due to its excellence. Give this four or five years to come around. Try after 2024." James Suckling "Dark yet wonderfully perfumed, the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro blossoms in the glass to present a bouquet of dried strawberries and roses complemented by hints of blood orange and clove. It shows the power and grace of a well-muscled dancer as a dense wave of ripe red and black fruits rushes across the palate, lifted by bright acidity, while leaving a mix of saline-minerals and grippy tannins toward the close. Though structured for the long haul, the 2016 maintains unexpected vibrancy, finishing with hints of plum and almond. This is simply stunning." Eric Guido für Antonio Galloni "Both fluid and concentrated at once, this exudes cherry, black currant, violet and mineral aromas and flavors. Saturated with ripe fruit, this has beautifully integrated acidity and tannins, with a racy profile that drives the superlong finish. The tannins flex their muscles at the end yet remain refined. Best from 2024 through 2042." Wine Spectator "Leuchtendes, sattes Granatrot. Sehr klare und intensive Nase, satt nach reifen Himbeeren, eingelegte Kirschen und im Hintergrund etwas Lakritze. Am Gaumen viel reife Frucht, zeigt griffiges Tannin, im Finale fester Druck, langer Nachhall nach Zwetschgen." Falstaff "Verführerische Himbeernase, kokett untermalt von Noten von Blüten und Kräutern; facettenreiche Textur, die Säure belebend, die Tannine engmaschig und wunderschön, das Finale voller Schliff und Eleganz, die Fruchtnoten betören. Grosser Wein, der reifen kann." Vinum

"The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is a fine and delicate wine that cleverly delivers the intensity of the vintage but without the heaviness or the ripeness. This wine holds back, just enough, to affirm its poised balance in terms of fruit richness, texture and tannic structure. It shows symmetry throughout. Dark cherry fruit, cassis, plum, lavender and campfire ash set the tone. The mouthfeel is thickly woven and generous, more so than the more linear and focused 2016 Brunello Pianrosso (that I preferred by a tiny margin). Monica Larner für Robert Parker "The opulence of fruit and complexity of earth, meat, mushroom and cedar is breathtaking. It’s full-bodied, deep and powerful with so much intensity and depth. Chewy and layered, it goes on for minutes. Give it even more time." James Suckling "The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Pianrosso Santa Caterina d'Oro is nuanced with dark florals, hints of black cherry, mint leaf and smoky minerals. With time, more baritone notes of tobacco come forward. It’s velvety in the mouth, showing ripe red and black fruits, licorice and sweet herbal tones. Fine tannins settle in through the finale; yet they don’t get in the way, as this tapers off to hints of dark chocolate and savory spice." Eric Guido für Antonio Galloni

"This is one of the icon wines of the appellation. The Il Marroneto 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie shows an elegantly streamlined appearance with shiny ruby highlights. This warm-vintage expression does not have the same vertical lift that we saw in the glorious 2016 edition, but that wine sets the bar very high (and it earned a 100-point score). This vintage is perhaps shapelier and more saturated with rose, wild cherry, peat moss and blood orange. The house style embraces extreme finesse, and you get that here. Alessandro Mori has also expertly managed the tannins, with results that appear silky and almost glossy. Thanks to elevation and soils, this cool growing site north of Montalcino village performs very nicely in the hot vintages such as this." Monica Larner für Robert Parker Wine Advocate "The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie lights up the senses from the very first moment. Its aromatics alone are worth the price of entry; an exotic, spicy bouquet blends lavender, blood orange and tart raspberries with mentholated herbs, smoke and crushed stone. The textures are unbelievably soft, like liquid velvet, enveloping with mineral-tinged ripe cherries and sweet, sweet spice. This is so pretty and expressive, yet also juicy and fresh. Fine tannins mount, though they are only noticeable through the finale, where saline-minerals mix with sour citrus and autumnal spice in an expression that just goes on and on. The 2017 transcends the vintage, and while it may not possess the power typical of Madonna delle Grazie, it instead communicates its undeniable beauty and grace. I tasted the 2017 both in Montalcino, at the winery, and in our office, where it only got better over the three days I followed it. It's a total classic." Eric Guido für Vinous - Antonio Galloni "Leuchtendes Rubin-Granat. Duftige und einladende Nase, satt nach Himbeeren, Brombeeren und frischen Zwetschgen, sehr klar. Zeigt auch am Gaumen satte Frucht, viel Himbeere und dunkle Kirsche, öffnet sich dann mit dichtem, griffigem Tannin, im Nachhall würzig und salzig." Falstaff
