					<description><![CDATA[Tenuta San Guido is the result of a very long tradition and of an ethical message handed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the dedication and commitment to the company's activities have led to many successes: Sassicaia, in the wine sector, the Razza Dormello Olgiata, in the breeding of thoroughbred horses and the Rifugio Faunistico Padule di Bolgheri, for the protection of nature and wildlife.

Originally reserved for family and friends until 1967, Sassicaia was released on the market for the first time in 1971 with the 1968 vintage. To this day, the winemaking team remains committed to preserving the stylistic imprint that inspired the creation of this wine.
<div class="c-cCNRlB c-cCNRlB-fKKfJh-fontVariant-small c-cCNRlB-fZwUQD-fontFamily-secondary">

<em>“We believe that Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of the century. It also happens to be simply wonderful to drink. May it thrive through the new millennium.”</em> - Serena Sutcliffe MW &#38; David Peppercorn MW

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep ruby-red colour.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
A highly perfumed and complex nose which features blackcurrant, blackberry jam, and plum, interwoven with savory notes of forest floor, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Fleshy and expansive palate with an extra dimension of textural intensity. It offers layers of dark cherry, licorice, and crème de cassis. The wine is balanced by a sharp acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
Aged for 25 months in French oak barriques (roughly 45% new oak) before bottling.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Due to its firm structure and rich tannins, Sassicaia 2020 pairs best with a classic Fiorentina steak or herb-crusted roast lamb or wild boar ragù served over pappardelle.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Located in the Montalcino area, southwest of the medieval city, Tenuta Luce Della Vite, one of the estates of the Frescobaldi family, produces some of the best wines of Tuscany and the greatest Italian wines. Literally, Tuscany in a unique light.

Of the 92 hectares of vineyards owned by Luce della Vite, 11 are registered in the “Albo del Brunello di Montalcino.”
This is where the Sangiovese for Luce Brunello is born. This wine is our tribute to this excellent wine born in Montalcino in the second half of the 19th Century. It was the first wine in Italy to achieve, in 1980, the Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita. Today it is one of the emblems of Made in Italy fine wines. Luce Brunello di Montalcino thus continues a journey of the highest quality inspired by this unique territory and the great wines that are born here.

					<description><![CDATA[For generations, everything in the Moser family has revolved around wine and its associated traditions. It was Alfred Moser's son, Gernot Moser, who integrated international standards into the lovingly managed family business, thus laying the foundations for the Moser philosophy that is lived in every fiber of the company today: quality takes time. And space.

					<description><![CDATA[Buglioni produces distinctive wines and, alongside the traditional Valpolicella styles, offers more unconventional and pure expressions that reveal the authentic character of the territory and its native varieties.

"Il Lussurioso" gets its name from the long lasting, luxurious, finish it has on the palate. This Amarone is made from 100% estate fruit, which comes from Buglioni's Vignieto San Pietro in Valpolicella Classico. The vineyard, Sant'Ambrogio is located at an altitude of about 495ft and consists of dark, clayey soils with a high content of gravel. Grapes are manually harvested towards mid-September and are dried until January using the appassimento process.

					<description><![CDATA[The Château was founded in the 18th century by a member of the Lynch Family. We can trace the origin of the "Moussas" name back to the 16th century.
In 1919 the property was purchased by the Castéja family, at that time also owner of Duhart-Milon and later was inherited by Emile Castéja. Philippe Castéja, Emile Castéja's son, has been in charge of the property and its vineyards since.

Château Lynch-Moussas is a typical Pauillac exhibiting a dark colour, a fruitful bouquet, a lot of softness with ripe tannins.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>

					<description><![CDATA[<div class="paragraph_text">

Château du Tertre takes its name from the superb group of graves, culminating point of the Margaux appellation, on which is erected the castle. This millennial property of 52 hectares (of which 18 are grown <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>biodynamic</strong></span>) enjoys worldwide renown thanks to the prestigious<strong> </strong>Grand Cru Classé de Margaux title it has had since 1855.
The arrival of Eric Albada-Jelgersma, the current owner, in 1997 will profoundly mark the field. A restructuring program and heavy investments have restored its reputation to Château du Tertre. This program has resulted in upgrading technical equipment, reducing yields and setting up a new team. Under the direction of Alexander Van Beek ,Eric Boissenot for winemaking, the vineyard has significantly increased the quality of these wines, giving Château du Tertre its character and nobility, where silky and freshness are combined to bring you the elegance expected of a great Margaux wine.

					<description><![CDATA[Located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation and dating back to 1365,  Château Smith Haut Lafitte  is one of the oldest châteaux in Bordeaux.
