Hat Trick Alentejano Vinho Tinto

2021

Hat Trick Alentejano Vinho Tinto

Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago. This activity was first started by Joaquim Santos Lima, who, by the turn of 19th century, was already a great producer and exporter of Portuguese wines. Still a family owned company, today is present in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro.

‘Hat Trick’ has a double meaning, basically this wine is the  third in a row of the Lisbon cuvées from Santos Lima. A different blend and a completely unique character due to the ripening influence of the sun in combination with chalky soil and the eight months of wood aging. The ‘Hat Trick’ is the ‘newest’ wine produced by Santos Lima, after the Portuga and the Tarambola. The ‘hat trick’ is depicted literally on the label; ‘a trick from the top hat’.

Hermanos Hernáiz Las Cenizas Rioja DOCa

2021

Hermanos Hernáiz Las Cenizas Rioja DOCa

Finca La Emperatriz is a winery with an extensive vineyard estate in Rioja Alta.
Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz is the new project of brothers Eduardo and Víctor, who in 1996 acquired Bodega La Emperatriz, named as such because the first owner of these plots was Eugenia de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III and Empress of France. With this new emphasis and with new projects at hand, the winery changed its name but its high-end wines retain the Finca La Emperatriz signature, the name of the ‘viñedo singular’ they come from, which is given to small, old plots with limited but high quality production and which, in summary, must comply with a series of strict standards to prove their quality. The grapes used to make El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto come from plots where the soils are mostly composed of white boulders over a sandy-loam structure and where the vines have an average age of 25 years old.

Las Cenizas is the winery’s village wine that takes its name from one of the most important towns in the Rioja DOCa: Cenicero, in the heart of Rioja Alta, – where the Hernáiz brothers – and whose name is believed to be due to the bonfires that the primitive shepherds left as they passed through the area. A historic town known for its vineyards and the quality of its wines.

I Giusti & Zanza Nemorino Red Toscana IGT

2020

I Giusti & Zanza Nemorino Red Toscana IGT

L’Elisir D’Amore is an Italian 19th century opera buffa by Gaetano Donizetti. It tells the story of the charlatan pharmacist Dulcamara whose “love filter”, in truth a bottle of Bordeaux, helps Nemorino conquer the heart of the beautiful Adina despite Belcore’s interference. A complex tale of ploys and passion, with the sweet tones of love and the bitter taste of jealousy – it offers a representation of wine as a powerful love filter that is fitting with the charming wisely-balanced intensity of I Giusti & Zanza wines.
The Red Nemorino’s composition varies slightly from vintage to vintage. It is primarily composed of Syrah (about 60%), with additions of Merlot and Sangiovese, as well as small shares of Alicante, according to the vintage.

The agricultural conduction is organic and biodynamic in the vineyards.

I Lauri Avalos Pecorino Abruzzo DOC

2024

I Lauri Avalos Pecorino Abruzzo DOC

The name “iLauri” stems from the ancient roots of our birth place, Loreto Aprutino, once covered in Laurus nobilis, or laurel trees.

The Spanish influence in Italy and European Baroque culture during the 16th century cannot be denied. The Abruzzo region, as most of Southern Italy had intense ties from a political, cultural, religious, economic and social point of view. The Avalos family moved to Italy and developed centers of cultural excellence that rivaled the Medici family. Pecorino, a white grape once thought lost to the world is a must-try for those that believe Trebbiano is the only white wine in the Abruzzi. A sumptuous full-bodied white that flows with compelling flavors of white pulp, apricots and lychees.
