Domaine Valescure Merlot, Vin du Pays du Gard, 2006

100 % Merlot from vines grown on the chalky-clay soils typical of this valley. The grapes are de-stemmed after harvest and fermented in the same way as with the Cabernet Sauvignon. A proportion of the free run juice is blended with the press wine for the malo-lactic fermentation in barrel, giving the wine suppleness and complexity. Best drunk over the next 5 years.
Deep red colour. Plump red berry fruit on the nose with a hint of eucalyptus. Soft round tannins on the palate with plenty of red and black berry fruit flavours.

Domaine Valescure Cabernet Sauvignon, Vin du Pays du Gard, 2006

The grapes are de-stemmed at harvest and following a short cold maceration of about 5 days at 8 degrees centigrade, the alcoholic fermentation commences at 22 degrees allowing for a slow extraction of colour and fruit.
Spicy aromas of black pepper and cloves. Medium-full bodied with soft tannins and plenty of dark berry fruit flavours to fill the palate.

Lugana, ''Argillaia'', Fabiano, 2007

Produced from Trebbiano grapes, this remarkably good wine deserves better attention. Coming from a prevalently level soil of clayey and calcareus nature, it is a wine with light green colour tending to gold reflections with the refining in bottle. It is a very well structed wine with a fruity and delicate bouquet, soft and harmonious taste with a hint of oak.

Vitiano 2005, Falesco, Umbria

Ricardo Cotarella is probably one of the most sough-after wine consultants in the whole of Central and South Italy. Along with brother Renzo of Antinori fame, he has built Falesco into one of the new powerhouses of Italy. On a personal level, I consider their Vitiano to be one of the best valued wines around.

"The 2004 Vitiano Rosso is an equal part blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, aged three months in small oak barrels. This serious effort possesses a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as lovely aromas of black currants, licorice, dried herbs, and earth. An amazing value, it boasts remarkable texture, medium body, and pure, ripe berry flavors. Drink it over the next 1-2 years." 89 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate August 2005.
