James Suckling 96 points - Love the complexity to this with lots of rosemary and lavender that complement the currant and violet character. Full-bodied, yet extremely polished and tight on the palate. The tannins are ever so fine. Extremely long and beautiful.

Argentiera, Doc Bolgheri Superiore, draws its strength and uniqueness from the magnificent territory in which it’s generated. The grapes come from the estate’s best vineyards of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with a rich and silky taste. A long maturation in French oak barrels, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the unique terroir of Tenuta Argentiera make this wine on of the greatest expressions in the Bolgheri area.

Bell’Assai is a girl with personality who offers to the sweet Sicilian breeze the fruits of the vineyards and the scents of the countryside. She represents the spirit of those enterprising families with the love for beauty which have always been animating the territory of Vittoria. An artistic label with which Donnafugata wants to celebrate the love for the beautiful.

Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections, Bell’Assai offers a fragrant bouquet with intense flowery notes of violets and roses combined with scents of fresh red fruit (strawberries and raspberries). In the mouth it surprises with its great freshness, a perfect harmony between aroma and taste, supported by soft tannins. A fragrant red that amazes with its immediate pleasantness. Perfect to sip on its own or accompanying salami or grilled fish dishes, also excellent with tuna sushi.

 THE WINEMAKER COMMENT

 Intense ruby red color. On the nose the aroma is very intense and characterized by hints of cherry, wild berry jam and floral notes. In the mouth the softness of the structure is supported by barely perceptible tannins and a final acidity that makes this wine balanced and suitable for any occasion. Savory finish on the palate with a unique fruity persistence.

Winemaker Notes

Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a red wine that is produced from grapes selected exclusively in the Valpolicella classic area, which is the oldest and most historical one. The harvest takes place from mid-September to the end of October and the grapes are carefully selected by hand in the vineyards. The bunches rest for 40 days in special boxes in large ventilated rooms dedicated to the drying phase. During the first days of November the crushing and subsequent fermentation takes place. After racking, the wine is then refined, which takes place exclusively in oak barrels for a period of no less than 12 months. It presents itself with the characteristic ruby colour; an intense and persistent bouquet, with fruity notes of cherries and plums, pansy and spices with hints of black pepper and vanilla. The flavour that characterizes it is fresh and fruity, well-balanced with an elegant structure, highly enjoyable thanks to the perfect harmony between acidity and tannin.

Winemaker Notes

Mandrarossa wines were born out of a mission for excellence when a team of industry experts joined forces to create high quality wines of both indigenous and international varietals from Sicily to introduce to the world. This team of experts identified top estates that yield the best quality and worked closely with select growers to deliver the truest and highest valued expression of the selected varietals offered by Mandrarossa wines. Ideal microclimatic conditions of intense sunlight, coastal sea breezes and rich chalky soils combine to produce these rich, aromatic wines. Mandrarossa Frappato is fruity and lush. Grown in the sandy dunes typical of southwest Sicily, at 820 feet above sea levels, in a climate that allows for warm days and breezy nights, giving this wine a vibrant ruby color with intriguing aromas of red berries and sweet spices.

Producer Notes

The smell reveals an intriguing intensity with a complexity to be discovered that opens on tones of dark fruit from the mature pulp and lets pass through cocoa and tobacco notes on a laurel and myrtle background.

On the palate it offers a silky, full body, balanced by an always fresh note and tannins of fine elegance. Closing is persistent and turns on the notes of aromas offered to smell.
