Anteprima Chianti Classico 2011

so happened that on anteprime Chianti Classico I attended only 2 ½ hours, so the taste was very little. All the action took place in the Stazione Leopolda, the historic buildings of the first Florence train station, which is now used for exhibitions, concerts and theater organizations. Total this year involved 152 farms of the "Black Rooster", a general exposition and tasting room was very comfortable divided in communes (Greve, Radda, Castelnuovo Berardenga and others, see the picture hanging posters on each of the rows of tables) that allow the identification of common or, alternatively, differences terruarno-stylistic characteristics of the individual bands as extensive wine territory, such as Chianti. Actually in anteprima were presented vintages Chianti Classico Riserva 2009 and 2008 (which incidentally was only about 20% of more than 400 participated in the exhibition of samples), although agriculture was brought "all that rich, so most could try as a basic Chianti 2008 and 2007, and Riserva 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, as well as supertoskantsev. Total wine vintage in 2009 seemed very fresh and clean floral aromatics, with a fairly high levels of acidity. Perhaps I should note a certain lack of "weight" of density. Of the wines tasted liked Chianti Classico 2009 households Badia a Coltibuono, Fattoria San Pancrazio, Isole e Olena, Felsina; Riserva 2008 from Capannelle and from Castellare di Castellina. Very vivid impression left wine farms Ormanni, especially their Riserva 2007, "Borro del Diavolo", an extremely attractive fruity-spicy flavor with notes of aromatic herbs, a dense and perfectly balanced in taste.

























Very suddenly like that's rosé Shamiso 2009 Toscana IGT from the farm Villa Mangiacane (100% Sangiovese), with dim subdued flavor, but very fruity and mineral on the palate as appetizer just wonderful.








But this stand the well-known brand and I catch Igor Serdyuk, in the midst of labor, so to speak, Tasting

Infected Big Toe Cuticle

Anteprima Nobile di Montepulciano 2011

finally ended the long-awaited marathon Tuscan wine anteprim can breathe a sigh of relief. Four tasting of the day rather vaguely recall the waves of delicious sensations, leaving a long cherry finish. I must say overall impression of the wine tastings remains quite positive, I have not heard any frankly unsuccessful wine (although, of course, the physical capabilities not allowed to try out everything from the submitted samples). Also very difficult to give any value judgments on anteprimah wines, they are still too young for such "long-playing" wines as Brunello and Nobile, almost children, so in most cases, it was just very curious to anticipate their possible future development potential.


On anteprime Nobile wines were presented in 2009 Rosso di Montepulciano, Nobile di Montepulciano 2008 and Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2007 (although many farms were brought to the exhibition as their supertoskantsev, white, pink, grappa and Vin Santo). It was well, very much Cask samples, in accordance with the rules of production, before Nobile they go on sale must be conditioned for at least two years starting from 1st of January following the harvest of the year. In these time frames, at the discretion of the manufacturer following options excerpts:
1) 24 months in a tree;
2) at least 18 months in wood, the remainder of the term in other capacities
3) at least 12 months in wood, 6 months Bottled remainder in other types of tanks for aging.
So many manufacturers have opted for a more prolonged exposure, and not yet bottled his Nobile 2008.
2008 harvest estimates have heard very mixed. On 5-point scale Consortium estimates it 4 stars (2007y received all 5). The year 2008 was quite difficult in terms of climatic conditions: the average annual temperatures were below normal, pretty cool winters, and abundant rainfall in late May and early June slowed the flowering phase and ovaries, and increased risk of parasitic diseases of vines. Nevertheless, since the second mid-June, rebounded good weather and high temperatures and lack of rain allowed vegetative cycle to restore the normal course of development. Optimum level of maturity grapes, and therefore the time of harvest came in the last week of September - the first week of October. Producers say that the wines of this vintage differs greatly freshness, subtlety and elegance, and bright fruit and floral aromas (but some shortages of color). At the same time, vintage hot 2007 are more powerful, intense and concentrated, character, dense structure, the aroma of ripe red fruits, and demonstrate excellent potential for exposure.
Just anteprime Nobile di Montepulciano 2011 was attended by 34 wineries (the Consortium Nobile them has more than 70). Peruse presented at the tasting образцов наиболее яркое впечатление оставили как вина топовых производителей Нобиле - Asinone 2007 Poliziano, Simposio 2007 Tenimenti Angelini, Grandi Annate 2007 Avignonesi, Nobile 2008 и Nocio 2007 Boscarelli , так и вина менее известных российскому consumer households Lunadoro, Icario , Talosa. I especially want to mention the whole range of wines from the farm Bindella , very elegant, well structured and expressive, as basic Nobile 2008 and cru Quadri and supertoskanskoe Vallocaia. It is a pity that this year did not participate in anteprime such farms as Le Casalte and Poderi Sanguineto I e II, which in my opinion Today is one of the best producers appellasona Montepulciano.
