🏡🍇: The Rinaldi winemaking heritage actually stretches back to 1870 when her great great grandfather Giovanni merged his inherited vineyard with that of his wife's to form the Barale-Rinaldi estate, the third largest in the region behind Borgogno and Marchesi di Barolo.

The current estate proprietor, Giuseppe, is best known for his continued adherence to the traditional ways of producing Barolo wine: long maceration, indigenous yeasts, aging in botti, and blending from different terroirs.

Giuseppe Rinaldi sources fruit from four Barolo crus: Brunate, Le Coste, Cannubi San Lorenzo, and Ravera.

The philosophy is that Nebbiolo’s tannins define their Barolo, so they would never consider using barriques, small French barrels, to soften the grape tannins and bulk up the wine with wood tannins. They leave their Barolo for about four years in the large, old barrels, then, age it in the bottle.

🍷🍷: The Barolo Brunate 2014 benefits from a thicker soil profile in this vineyard that consequently bumps the wine's aromatic intensity and staying power. This wine is almost crunchy in texture, and shows enormous beauty and richness with a dark fruit profile followed by elements of spice, tar, to***co and moist potting soil. There are floral notes as well with rose and lavender. This wine will reward those with the patience to wait.

🏡🍇: At the beginning of the 20th Century, Armand Rousseau, who came from a family of wine-growers, barrel-makers and wine-traders, inherited several parcels of vineyards in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. Very quickly he acquired new vines in more prestigious Crus including Charmes-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin, and with numerous Grands Crus. ❤️🏡🍇🌿

The average age of the 100% Pinot Noir vines is reasonably old - between 40 and 45 years - planted at a density of 11,000 vines to the hectare. 🍇🏅🍇💐

Although these Pinot Noir’s are planted in a limited area, the Rousseau wines manifest stylistic variations and maintains their unicity. Morey Saint-Denis is more mineral, tannic and monolithic than the wines from Gevrey-Chambertin, which tend to be fruitier and spicier. Charmes is supposed to be more feminine and elegant than Mazy, which is often more structured.

☘️Rousseau adds, “each one of the grand crus is so different. Maybe that's why they exist by themselves."☘️

🍷🍷: The Chambertin Grand Cru manages to develop a truly unique bouquet that synthesizes the refined expression of Pinot Noir, the terroir and the oak maturation – notes of strawberries, forest berries, pomegranate. The tertiary notes are very well integrated in the aromatic body, supporting the complex impression of fruit and minerality. On the palate very intense and powerful sensation, with a strong backbone from the great Chambertin terroir. The fruit is showing lovely purity and finesse, with almost lush and silky tannins. It is full bodied but still very refined thanks to the terroir, that also manifests a long finish. A truly great wine…💯💯💯

🏡🍇: Hacienda Monasteria is a Ribera del Duero winery located between Pesquera and Valbuena del Duero along the Golden Mile. At the helm of the winery are and Carlos de la Fuente, who manage 78 planted vineyards spanning over 160 hectares.

The winery focuses on organic viticulture primarily to encourage the connection with the environment, respecting the laws of nature 🌱🌱🌱 They use all-natural products at each wine-making step, and primarily aim for self-sufficiency in vineyards – they even mix crop residues with sheep manure to create their own fertilizers 🙃✌️🍷

Hacienda Monasteria takes the elegance it captures in vineyards also to the winery. It was built between 1991 and 1992, was designed by French architect Philippe Mazières, who previously had worked on such prestigious wineries such as Château Margaux , Château d'Yquem Prieure-Léchiné 🥂🥂🏅🌿

🍷🍷: Ripe, deep aromas of black berries fruit and cassis, noticeable minerality enriched with violet notes. Concentrated and flavoursome, warm, ripe fruit characters are further enhanced with developing notes of forest floor and to***co leaf. Well integrated oak with firm tannins that gently lead the drinker to a long and warming finish…

"In a merger of French wine titans, François Pinault's —the owner of iconic wineries such as Bordeaux's Château Latour, Burgundy's Clos de Tart and Napa's Domaine Eisele Vineyard—is buying a majority stake in Maisons & Domaines Henriot, which owns Bouchard Père & Fils in Burgundy, William Fèvre in Chablis, Maison Henriot in Champagne and Beaux Frères in Oregon." 🍷🍷🍇

"For the estates of our family group, this alliance is full of promise," said de Larouzière Henriot in a statement. 🍃🏅🍃🥂

"With Artémis Domaines, we share a deep attachment to the exceptional wine heritage of France and the ambition to fully develop the incomparable ensemble that we constitute through the combination of our estates."🏡🍇🏡

🏡🍇: The recent nomination of by as the winery of the year 2022 motivates us to choose one of their Franciacorta as our wine of the week.

In essence, it is the dynamic cooperation between Guido Berlucchi and the oenologue Franco Ziliani that gave the region its flourishing soul. The Berlucchi winery first released what was then known as Pinot di Franciacorta in 1961. What is unique (and revolutionary at that time) about the sparkling wines of Franciacorta is the method in which they are produced. They are produced using the famous Champagne method known as Methode Champenoise or in Italian as Metodo Classico.

Guido Berlucchi's wines have charismatically remained timely throughout the course of the past decades, and have consistently been a bridge between current trends and physical projects. This timeliness is a typical characteristic of the Franciacorta brand: modernity and the desire to constantly expand Franciacorta’s awareness, be it via new labels or cutting-edge partnerships.

—

🍷🍷: The Berlucchi ’61 Franciacorta Brut is made up of 90% chardonnay and 10% pinot noir. It's crystal clear and a golden yellow. On the nose it was florally with notes of honeysuckle along with some minerality and yeast. On the palate it was dry and medium bodied with a creamy effervescense with a golden apple finish. A cheerful bottle, a perfect celebration wine.

🏡🍇: The wines of G.B. Burlotto hail from the small town of Verduno, in Piemonte. It is perched atop one of the highest hills in the area and the high elevation of the vines coupled with the northerly, cooler setting provides for wines of finesse, low alcohol, bright acidity and soaring aromatics. These are wines for the Piedmont and Burgundy lover alike.

Giovan Battista Burlotto, known to his friends and family as ‘il Commendatore,’ founded the Burlotto wine operation in the mid-1800’s. He was one of the first in Barolo to sell his wines in bottle instead of the then-customary demijohn. And in the Bordelaise style, he proudly emblazoned his name across the label. This brash approach, coupled with the caliber of his juice, put Burlotto on the map and his name soon became synonymous with Piedmontese quality.

Current operations, led by his great-great grandson, Fabio Alessandria, are rooted in Burlotto tradition – long hours of hard work among the vines, long macerations, large open botti for fermentation, large wood barrels for aging – and now, organic farming.

🍷🍷: Barolo Monvigliero is one of the most traditional wines, compared to other Barolo’s of Burlotto. It’s a single-vineyard wine, produced with grapes crushed by foot and spontaneous fermentation without strict temperature controls. They choose for a two months maceration on skins. The resulting wine is lovely and elegant, with undertones of dried red flowers, tar, dried cranberries and cherries. Silky tannins. Totally enjoyable already, and yet giving every sign of long life ahead of it.

No matter what trends we witness, alternative packaging and fine wine can hardly go hand in hand. There are traditional barriers, elegance factors and marketing choices to consider.

However, one direction can be the increasing use of lightweight glass.

It can be a perfect bargain between protecting and adopting sustainable practices, as it is clear that lightweight glasses have much lower carbon footprint levels.

Sometimes trend need to be determined not only by consumers but also by producers, and 2022 can be the year for some sustainable and responsible decisions.

🏡🍇: Diversity shines both in our team, and wine selections – our head of sales José helped us discover a unique wine from his land, Canary Islands, to which we devote today’s wine of the week.

, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez are the winemakers behind , one of the most exciting winemaking projects in Spain. They are making wine throughout Spain with a focus on regions influenced by Atlantic climates – and today’s wine comes from the unique Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

The site, the winemaking method, and the resulting wine are all striking! 😵🥂✌️ They are working with ungrafted vines aged between 50-200 years old, perched on cliffs close to Atlantic Ocean. The soil is hard volcanic rock. The vineyards host old school mixed plantings, with so many indigenous varietals that are yet to be explored 🍇🍇

The grapes are hand harvested and foot trodden. Whole clusters, native yeasts, and open-top fermenters are used. Later, the wines age in natural barrels ☘️🍃☘️

In short, these four friends come together to give birth to a wine that is extremely attached to terroir and traditions – a lively embodiment of Canary Islands.

🍷🍷: Táganan Tinto was produced from very old vines of both known and unknown grape varieties grown in parcels tended by 15 different families. These are wild vineyards with little to no training, that pops out between rocks. The wine delivers a striking freshness and floral lift. It is backed up by a smoky, saline, pulverized minerality along with dark fruits and spice. The excelling feature of Táganan Tinto is that it is truly evocative and gripping this wine is in its soil expression.

We are happy to announce that we have launched our blog section that will have a focus on the intersection of fine wines and tech – two notions that guide us in our work.

In the following years, we will be encountering much more the use of blockchain technology in different areas of the wine sector.

Fine wine producers have already been benefiting from blockchain for protection against fraud, but the use cases are much more diverse...

We demystify for you both the mechanism and applications of this technology in wine. Find the article via the link in profile!

The natural gas crisis has far reach consequences, affecting all members of the wine industry. Towards the end of summer, the prestigious luxury glass producer Maximilian Riedel announced that it may need to suspend its activities.

Some countries, like Germany, have already started designing some aid packages for businesses, The question for companies like Riedel will be where it falls in the government’s priority list given that it’s a supplier of non-essential goods.

The company’s energy bills have already jumped at least 30%, but it has been running its factories at maximum capacity to try to preempt even higher energy prices over the winter.

“We are at the moment and at least for the next years to come dependent solely on gas,” Riedel said. “There isn’t a single energy provider who would agree a three-year or even a 12-month deal with us at the moment, so we have to buy energy day by day.”
