Need a special restock for your cellar? For a “secret” stash to keep aside for special occasions, here’s a top collection of 10 fine wines and 2 sparkling wines!
Chardonnay Piemonte DOC
Chardonnay, the most famous white grape variety in the world, has found in the hills of Piedmont the ideal place to express its characteristics to the full. From this territory comes a wine of great flavour with austere and enveloping notes. Straw-yellow colour with golden highlights; a refined and elegant bouquet. Full and substantial on the palate. Excellent as an aperitif, with cold appetisers and fish dishes. Serve at 8-10 °C
To the eye it shows an intense straw-yellow colour. On the nose there are fruity hints of pear, peach and pineapple, with notes of honey and vanilla on the finish. On the palate it is fresh, with a pleasant acidic component and good softness.
Barbera Piemonte DOC
Traditional red wine produced with characteristic Barbera grapes in the areas of Asti, Cuneo and Alessandria in Piedmont.
Deep ruby red in colour, the aroma is well-balanced with hints of ripe blackberries.
Spumante Rosé Millesimato
Fine sparkling rosé. Fresh fruit aroma with hints of pink grapefruit.
An elegant and intense wine with a bright pink colour, a fresh fruit aroma with hints of pink grapefruit, raspberry, currant and an elegant rosehip note. The sparkle is made up of small and persistent bubbles.
Blanc de Blancs Millesimato
Fine sparkling white. Elegant and intense.
Its wonderful golden transparency shows a fine and persistent perlage. Intense on the nose with pleasant hints of citrus and acacia flowers. Cool and dry on the palate, is distinguished by the refined and elegant character.
"Andrea Etichetta Nera" Vino Rosso
A sign of the times, sweet and bitter at the same time, defines my Andrea Black Label Red Wine. It is the echo of his dreams that fills the Cellar, between the brick vaults and the sinuous curves of the barrels. The whistling breath of air that accompanies each visit to evaluate its consistency and evolution, low currents that together trace a whirling waltz of expectation. A red that knows how to express unusual, enthralling and impetuous notes. A wine that alternates Mediterranean impetuosity with melancholy suspensions, always poised between dissonant emotions: never out of place on important occasions, always sincere in its silent song in the heart of the enthusiast.
Andrea, Wine Maker Giordano
The Andrea Black Label Red Wine offers a dark and dense colour, impenetrable to the eye. Marc shadows appear in the glass and rapidly slip away. The nose gives traces of wood, making specific reference to its period of rest.
There are faint echoes of spirit soaked fruit and sensations of chocolate and tobacco. A fragrant evocation of spice brings order to the bouquet, to accompany the tasting and mark the milestones note by note. Rich, well-balanced, with smooth, essential tannins, it gives the taste a prolonged and austere finish
CABERNET SAUVIGNON ITALIA
The international vine Cabernet Sauvignon finds the perfect habitat in fertile sandy soils. The modern vinification fully respects the tradition and the low temperature contributes the preservation of the aromas of the grapes.
Intense characteristic blackcurrant flavours and hints of violet, pepper and spices.
"Rosso della Terra"
Big, robust and elegant oak-aged red wine.
Ruby red wine with hints of vanilla and mature blackberries. Rosso della Terra has a good structure and a long aftertaste thanks to the ageing in small wooden casks.
RINFORZATO APPASSIMENTO PRIMITIVO PUGLIA IGT
A wine with a sumptuous structure and a rich, assertive character. Elegant from the aromas, it reveals all its power on the palate, reminiscent of ripe fruits, chocolate, and sweet spices
"Esclusivo Etichetta Oro" Rosso Puglia IGT
A prestigious red made with red grapes from Salento and vinified with the utmost care and attention, as well as maximum respect for oenological practices. The care behind the period of ageing in oak casks at the Giordano Wineries gives it the “Exclusive” character that is behind its name.
A full red with amaranth reflections; an intense, exclusive bouquet with well-defined notes of vanilla and leather, typical of raised oak. To the palate it is full bodied and with excellent structure. Remarkably harmonious, in spite of its impressive tannin.
Bianco Garda DOC
The fresh elegance of Lake wines is unmistakable: this white, with its reflections and facets, has it all. Luminous as a sunrise over Lake Garda, this white blends the characteristic notes of white flowers with a soft but ever present saline nature that immediately invites another sip. Its persistence surprises, its personality convinces, its territorial spirit tells ancient stories using modern language. A white for those who love colours and subtle nuances.
Straw yellow with verdant reflections, it opens to the nose to very clear hints of white flowers, and then leaves room for white-fleshed fruit. On the palate it is moderately intense, with good persistence and a finish that confirms the olfactory sensations it offers.A fine white in all its aspects, pleasant and versatile.
"SELVATO" ROSSO TOSCANA IGT
Red wine aged in oak barrels, full of suggestions of a land that loves wines and has a long tradition of excellence. Luca Maroni, prestigious sensorial analyst, has attributed to our Toscana Rosso Selvato an exceptional evaluation in the yearbook of the Best Italian Wines: 94 points.
Bright red colour with hints of grenadine; a fine, variegated fragrance with notes of ripe fruit, spices and vanilla; a warm, harmonious flavour with a full, persistent and pleasingly soft body.
Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Surely the most important and well-known red wine of Sardinia, the Cannonau (also known as Grenache) is an all-in-one wine that perfectly reflects the Mediterranean character of the island/ The wine expresses itself in this region with unique and easily recognizable organoleptic characteristics; it pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, typical local dishes, and more.
It is a vigorous, warm and full-bodied wine, with considerable alcohol content and good tannins. In the glass the wine reveals all the scents and aromas of the Mediterranean scrub, with hints of spices and a decided balsamicity. The flavour is dry and persistent.
