50&50 Avignonesi, Tasting notes:
Opens with aromas of ripe fruit with black and red berries, followed by hints of Mediterranean herbs and sweet spices. On the palate it is rich and persistent with a long, balsamic finish.
From the friendship that binds the owners of Avignonesi in Montepulciano and Capannelle in Chianti, comes their sought-after 50&50 wine. The first vintage of the 50&50 was 1988: during a jovial dinner, the owners of the two cellars began to compare their wines and obtained this exceptional blend of 50% Sangiovese di Capannelle and 50% Merlot di Avignonesi. The legend in a bottle.

Cinta Senese Lard DOP Macelleria Belli tasting notes:
Ingredients:
100% Cinta Senese meat
The history of Macelleria Belli:
Their story begins on a small farm in the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by cypress trees and very close to the town of Pienza.
At the end of the 1960s, a young man, Alfiero, moved away from this farm. In search of better fortune, he came to a small town, Torrita di Siena, then the centre of fashionable and commercial life in the area, with well-established activities and a rich and prosperous population, In this town he took over a small butcher's shop and since then everything that followed is the story of a life dedicated to work and the search for the best, where by best is meant good. His experiences at the Pienza farm, in fact, helped him recreate the ancient flavours of the Tuscan peasant tradition, to offer his customers the best in terms of genuineness and tastiness.
The small butcher's shop expanded to become a small charcuterie where these ancient family recipes were revived.
After several family members joined the company, a dream came true: the opening of a large butcher's shop with a charcuterie and ham factory attached just outside the 14th-century walls of Torrita. All this happened in 2002 and since then the business has done nothing but grow, thanks to the passion of a life spent chasing the joys of the palate.
Desiderio IGT Avignonesi, Tasting notes:
Explosive olfactory impact. The wide aromatic bouquet ranges from cherry and plum jam to notes of black tea, rhubarb and graphite, with small final notes of fermented tobacco. The palate is invested by the imposing and typical structure of Tuscan Merlot wrapping and warm. Tastefully in symbiosis with the olfactory notes, the dense and linear tannin accompanies nuances of coconut and black pepper in the back.
A 100% Merlot wine that is perfect to pair game meat recipes. Desiderio was a bull who lived on the Le Capezzine farm in Avignonesi more than a hundred years ago. The largest bull in Tuscany at that time, this majestic animal contributed to defining the Chianina cattle breed, specific of the Bistecca Fiorentina. It was a natural choice to dedicate this Merlot to the beloved bull as a testimony of the origin of the wines. This is Merlot from Tuscany at its best.

Nobile di Montepulciano
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Madonna della Querce Cantine Dei is the best Cantine Dei Wine. Caterina Dei, the owner, considers this wine to be the jewel in the crown of the entire production, which is why he has decided to dedicate it to his father Glauco: at the bottom of the label, we read “to my father”, a fitting tribute to the figure who was the reference point for the growth of the company. In 2015 the vineyard from which the grapes come from reached maturity and consequently today all the requirements are in place to obtain a great wine with long aging potential.
Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Riserva Bossona Cantine Dei, Tasting notes:
Complex, elegant and balanced structure. Ruby-coloured tending to garnet, with intense and elegant aromas, with hints of violets, underbrush and spices, it has a character of finesse, with firm, velvety tannins and a long, deep finish.
Vino Nobile Riserva Bossona is one of the highest expressions of the Montepulciano DOCG. Its grapes come from the vineyard of the same name, one of the most suitable, planted by Caterina’s grandfather, Alibrando, in 1961. The wine became a Riserva in 1999, with long ageing in wood and in the bottle. Without a doubt it is one of the estate’s flagship wines, a symbol of the elegance and grace of Sangiovese in Montepulciano. The yields are very low (about 40 quintals per hectare) and the wine is bottled with the label Bossona Riserva only in the best vintages. The soil is of Pliocene origin, dating back 2.5-5 million years. It is rich in tuff, skeleton and fossils, which are not only strongly draining, but also give the wine structure and minerality. The Bossona vineyard is one of the sunniest areas of Montepulciano and its favourable exposure allows for excellent ripening of the grapes. The complex composition of the soil is perfect for Sangiovese, and the constant ventilation ensures that the grapes are healthy.

Founded in 1971 by Giuseppe and Silvana Bianchini, the winery has a history that goes back long before its creation.Over the years, the estate passed from hand to hand, until it was bought by the Bianchini family in 1971. Giuseppe and Silvana Bianchini decided to dedicate themselves to grape growing and wine production, with the aim of creating high quality wines that were an authentic expression of the Tuscan terroir.Their focus on quality and environmental sustainability led them to adopt organic farming methods and to limit the use of chemicals. Thanks to this approach, Villa Sant'Anna was one of the first wineries in Tuscany to obtain organic certification.

The company was founded in 1991, in Serre di Rapolano, in the heart of Tuscany.
The aim is to practise organic farming, creating a microcosm that is sustainable both ecologically and economically and socially. From the very beginning, in fact, local and ancient varieties are cultivated, excluding the use of fertilisers, chemical and synthetic pesticides, toscanello bean and zolfino bean, and cereals such as Verna, Gentil Rosso, Frassineto and Cappelli durum wheat, are naturally adapted to the local soil and climate, Furthermore, it allows the farm to adopt a three-year rotation system and prevent over-exploitation of the land, thus ensuring respect for the balance of the land
