Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white, the red color coming from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) present in the skin of the grape; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red-colored juice. Much of the red-wine production process therefore involves extraction of color and flavor components from the grape skin. It is a delicacy around the world.

Pale red brick color. Very aromatic with notes of dried flowers, violets and anise. Full-bodied and dry, but elegant with plump red fruit balanced by chewy tannin and bright acidity.
Pair with braised meats, risotto with earthy tones such as porcini mushrooms and some of the more powerful cheeses such as blue cheese are all great options.
Serve at 64 degrees
Tempranillo. Fermentation: partial whole-cluster fermentation/fermentation in stainless steel tanks and barrels.
Deep, black fruit, mocha and distinctly “dusty” aromas, brilliant structure, great acid and lush flavors without any hint of flabbiness, this wine is set to be paired with any classic combination associated with Cabernet. We backed off of the Merlot a bit this year so the wine may need a few extra months to align…
Ghëddo is committed to sustainable farming with no use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, they cultivate only three hectares in 3 different vineyards which allows for meticulous work in the vineyard and extreme cleanliness in the cellar producing wines that faithfully express the vintage in all its aspects.
This wine is made with 100% Nebbiolo.
FROM THE VINTNER:
” We selected the top part of Berri vineyard in La Morra to produce our Barolo. A south-west exposed slope with limestone and silt Miocene soil. The vigour of the plants is limited by the presence of water that is never in excess. Hot summer days are mitigated by fresh streams that comes from the Alps and wind that blows in La Morra’s western face. This vineyard is the last to bud and the last to ripen. The canopy in managed with extreme care, thinning the plant to 6-7 bunches each. Harvest is normally around the 20th of October choosing only the best bunches. The fruit is typical of “La Morra” character: elegant nose and fine tannins in the mouth. The grapes are destemmed and transferred into the tank. The maceration is a challenging moment in which we try to pull out good tannins, aromatics and color without over-extracting. Soft pump overs are employed many times per day. After fermentation a delicate skin contact occurs with the submerged cap. The malolactic fermentation normally happens in November and then the wine is aged in big oak casks for 24 months. In the casks, micro-oxygenation is carried by the pores of the wood. This helps the tannins polymerize that results in rounding out the wine. We try to transfer the wine as little as possible to avoid unnecessary stress and bottle after at least 24 months of aging.“

FROM THE VINTNER:
“Our Langhe Nebbiolo comes from 3 different vineyards in La Morra – The Berri Vineyard fruit gives the wine its aromatics; the Brandini Vineyard fruit gives the wine its body; the Rocchettevino Vineyard fruit gives the wine its structure. All vineyards are managed with extreme care: thorough pruning, good shoot selection, and meticulous grape thinning – cutting off all the wings and the lower part of the big bunches. After harvest the grapes are destemmed without crushing and transferred to the tank for fermentation. During maceration the goal is to extract all of the aromatics and color while avoiding over-extraction, allowing us to produce a wine with a medium structure that’s focused on fruitiness and freshness. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred in part to stainless steel tanks, and another part is aged in oak. We bottle after 18 months of aging when we feel that tannins are ripened.”
Perfumes: violet and roses, some nice fruits with cherry and raspberry hints. Taste: quite easy to drink, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness. Pairings: perfect for any situation, it can be wonderfully enjoyed from a simple rural picnic to the most silverscreened aperitif; can easily stand important dishes as well.
Ruby red in color with violet tints, the Dolcetto d’Alba Trifolera entices the senses with notes of juicy black cherries, black currants and violets. This wine is very elegant and velvety with harmonious flavors and a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
Goldeneye Winery was founded in 1996, years before the Pinot Noir boom that has reshaped the landscape of California winemaking. But the genesis for Goldeneye goes back even further. In 1990, after fifteen years of making world-class Bordeaux-varietal wines, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn embraced their growing love of Pinot Noir. Their vision for Goldeneye was…
