Winemaker Notes

The preponderance of grape varieties of great class: Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, makes Parrina Riserva a wine of considerable nobility. As it matures its tannins and acids harmonise and gently merge into the flow of alcohol and glycerine, softening its innate austerity into a refined whole. The wine in characterful, of detenni-led presence, wellstructured and with an unmistakable, decisive personality. Grape varieties: 70% Sangiovese 20% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Merlot. Vinification: The wine cornes from grapes grown on optimally-exposed sites, painstakingly selected to eliminate any imperfect berries. The vinification takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, keeping the must on its skins for around 10-12 days. Maturation and ageing: One year minimum in barrique is followed by four months in bottle. This gives an ideal interplay between the softening effect of the oak mid the wine's intrinsic structure, thereby producing fascinating nuances of flavour. Characteristics: appearance: deep ruby red with garnet, hints, completely bright and clear; bouquet: full and persistent, noble and complex, most notably reminiscent of fresh straw, taste: velvsty and harmoniously gentle, its softness supported by a firm structured, rich in ectract.

La Parrina, Italy
The Parrina estate in the Tuscan Maremma, took shape at the beginning of the nineteenth century following the marriage of a daughter of the Strozzi family to a Giuntini. It has remained in the hands of the Giuntini family ever since, with the Marquess Franca Spinola as the current owner. La Parrina comprises 450 hectares (ha) stretching over foothills along the Tyrhennian coast, south of Grosseto. Is is immersed in Mediterranean scrub: lands characterised by an abundance of intensely perfumed herbs and berries. The estate in close to the Argentario promontory, the location giving a climate marked by prevailing sea breezes and warm summers, while heavy rainfali is restricted to spring and autumn. As a result the grapes remain healthy and ripen fully.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
