"Fabulous aromas of strawberries, orange zest, and orange blossom. An exceptionally pure nose. Very fragrant. A medium-bodied wine with linear, intense tannins and an ultra-fine texture. Fresh and salty, it offers beautiful liveliness and precision. Mineral and lively. [...] Crisp. Salty. Delicious now, it will improve with age." (James Suckling 2023) - Delivery in wooden crates is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

About wine:
A beautifully fragrant nose, delicately aromatic and inviting, with subtle notes of wild flowers, red and black fruits, and sweet spices. Chalky, powdery tannins support a bright acidity that gives it a lively and vibrant expression. The tannins are very refined, but with a hint of spice that structures and maintains interest, present without being intrusive, allowing the acidity and fruity aromas to express themselves fully. Beautifully defined and expressed, elegant, refined, totally captivating, it offers great aromatic complexity and a remarkably long finish. Exceptionally drinkable, which is a real achievement at this stage of youth. Well-crafted, balanced, and pleasant, with warm, spicy notes on the finish. Truly wonderful and absolutely charming. Best enjoyed between 2026 and 2045.

About wine:
The purity of the fruit is impressive, with wonderfully harmonized aromas of cherries, cranberries, and tender, melting citrus fruits. This medium-bodied to full-bodied wine blossoms on the palate, with firm, complex tannins and a long, intense finish. It will take three to four years to refine, but it is already so appealing. A thing of great beauty. Already irresistible, but at its peak after 2027.

About wine:
An impressive vintage of Testamatta, with great freshness and refined character. Its color is an intense ruby with slightly purplish highlights. The nose is very fragrant, offering a complex bouquet of red and black fruits, dried figs, and ripe cherries. In the background, there are hints of sweet spices and candied zest. On the palate, the structure is harmonious, with ripe, balanced tannins, lovely acidity, and savory complexity. The finish, with beautiful depth and remarkable length, reveals a fine minerality and elegant fruity notes. A very promising Testamatta.

About wine:
Bright ruby color, like a jewel. Captivating aromas of raspberry and red cherry. Fine, silky tannins. Well-structured, with mineral notes reminiscent of flint and licorice. A generous wine of great finesse, which reveals itself gradually. The complexity of this wine is simply impressive. Produced from plots on the estate in Tuscany, where vines aged between 5 and 80 years old thrive at an altitude of between 400 and 600 meters. Indigenous yeasts, six manual punching-downs per day, maceration for a maximum of 10 days and aging in barrels (no new oak). Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2038.
