Description

Luigi Ferrando Carema 'Etichetta Nera' 2021This exceptional and rare wine is produced only in the finest vintages. It comes from a special selection of grapes harvested from several particularly well placed parcels within the appellation (frequently from the Silanc and Siei vineyard sites). Aged for at least three years prior to bottling, the levage is done primarily in small barrels, only a small percentage of which are new.

This wine offers a beguiling combination of plushness and tension

the members of Equipo Navazos have a keen interest in exploring flor outside the context of fortification

Riesling prefers poorer soil

Maria Sole allows the Sauvignon Blanc to macerate on its skins for three days: enough time to contribute a bit of color and to enhance the wine’s textural persistence

as indicated on every bottle

and racked into stainless steel tanks for both fermentation and aging

The result is a fresh

Christophe's sensuous and mineral-driven "Orchis" comes from a parcel of 20-year-old Sémillon planted in limestone-rich soils just outside of Saint-Emilion

permitting the wines to rest on the fine lies until they are racked when ready for bottling

from which he produces a wine spellbinding in its saline mineral intensity

harvested with meticulous care to only include pristinely botrytized fruit

It sits at almost 300 meters altitude on a gradually sloping hill that faces southeast
