Description

"A massive 120 days on skins - and boy can you tell! It has got so much concentration and intensity on the nose it isn't even funny. Layers of apricots (fresh, dried, and candied) float atop of yellow peach juice and yellow grapefruit zest. The more it opens up, the more baking spice and heather honey notes that appear on the nose. Talk about textural on the palate - plenty of tannin but still decent acidity here, which is key! That honey and clove note is really coming out on the palate here along with that juicy fresh apricot note. Delicious!"

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Tre Monti

It was in the 1970s when Thea and Sergio Navacchia decided that wine making was their destiny and passion. They quickly realised that in order to make this passion come true, they needed to partner up with some of the greats in the enology and viticultural fields across Italy. In walks Francesco Spagnolli and Vittorio Fiore who brought their joint enological backgrounds to this, now, top estate.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Albana

Albana is the white grape sister to Lambrusco in the Emilia-Romagna region of central Italy. It isn't a massively popular grape but it has been around the block and is slowly finding more interest in the last few decades. Known for its its peach, nectarine, tropical and tangerine fruit flavours. Lovely as dry but comes alive as a sweet wine.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Emilia-Romagna

Emilia Romagna is a central region of Italy, just north of Tuscany. It is almost exclusively known as being the home of Lambrusco - the slightly sparkling red wine made from a grape of the same name.
