Party, party, party! - Red wines

Deep red in colour with purple hints; obvious scents of ripe fruit and deep notes of blackberry and cherry, as well as candied fruit and jam, coming together within a bouquet of spices and vanilla. An ample, warm and rotund taste that balances perfectly with the perfect level of soft tannins and flavour. The final is long and fruity, with a pleasing aftertaste of spicy fruits.

Deep red in colour with a clean bouquet of ripe fruit, blackberry and violets; a full-bodied flavour that is both soft and balanced, with a harmonious aftertaste and persistent aroma.

A forthright wine with an intense colour, clean bouquet and notes of ripe fruit, blackberry and violet. On the palate it is soft, balanced, with a persistent finish: a wine for the whole meal, like wines used to be.

Deep red color with admirable purple hues. Complex aroma with hints of ripe fruit, cherry and cocoa. A wine of great complexity and considerable thickness, with hints of ripe cherry and peppery notes on the final. Very soft and well structured.

Like a mirror from a fairy tale, the red of the chromatic texture has purple veins and reflects the light, creating changeable and fascinating patterns. The red fruits, raspberry and marasca, emerge through a full and expressive smell: the vanilla, distant and suggestive, peeps through. On the palate it is harmonious and full-bodied, a velvety with a distinguished aftertaste. You can catch clear traces of chocolate and vanilla.

Vinification

Grapes and vines are my everyday life. I see sprouting plants, budding flowers, growing fruit, maturing and reaching the perfect moment for the harvest. At harvest time, I watch over the whole process: mine is a conductor's job, every aspect is an instrument which must play the right notes to produce the perfect harmony. Each variety has its own voice: if in the denominations certain tones are crystallized, a blend allows you to add your own, shaping a wine that has an unusual, new character. For the Andrea Vino Rosso, I chose the tools that I thought best suited to orchestrate the taste I had in mind. After the careful selection of the grapes, after fermentation, after the first time in the tank, I made the vines talk in the way I thought best, giving this red a pinch of my personality. The refinement did the rest, in the comfortable setting of the Giordano wineries. And there, this wine matured, taking on a part of me during our silent dialogues.

Tips

The search for something new is the basis of constant personal growth. We talked a lot about the Winemaker’s Choice line.  We were asked to come out of the shadows, not only to put faces to those who, behind the scenes, make Giordano wines, but also to offer a personal interpretation of the wine according to each of us. This Red wants to be my business card, it is a wine which conquers me. I hope I can break through to your heart, just as it has broken through into mine.
