Wine-making has been Gianna Nannini’s
life-long passion. She involved superbly
qualified wine-makers, first and foremost Renzo Cotarella, a leading
wine-expert. This made it possible for the Belriguardo Charterhouse
to soon stand out from a host of re-nowned wine-producing farms from
the same area.
After reaping widespread success abroad, Gianna Nannini is now making
her grand entrée on the Italian wine milieu. She does so with
vigour, professionalism and a firm belief in her products. She has painstakingly
selected a handful of higher end products to innovatively assert the
key qualities of the land she is so closely re-lated to, mindful not
to twist or misrepresent them.
The three varie-ties chosen by her embody the spirit of this unique
wine-making territory, with all its scents, aromas and
compelling strength.
“Baccano”, “Rosso
di Clausura” and “Chiostro di Venere” all find their
common traits and their outspoken personalities in the Sangiovese grapes.
Yet each of them stands sharply out on account of its unique structure
and well defined organoleptic characteris-tics
Baccano (Italian for “noise,
racket, fuss”) is Gianna’s favourite wine. One cannot resist
drinking another glass rightaway. Mirthful and very scented, it is to
be enjoyed to its last drop. Suggesting either a sun or a moon eclipse,
its label hints at it being ideal both in the daytime and at night.
With a prevailing input of Sangiovese grapes, aptly blended in with
Syrah and Merlot varieties, it sends forth a delicate scent of cherry
blossoms from all around the Charterhouse. It reveals a wide, yet concentrated
body, with forth-right and almost crisp tannins, in keeping with a well-balanced
al-coholic content. The crescendo curve of its end taste is simply stunning.
It can be served fairly cool, at 11° - 12° Celsius. So as its
name goes, it is indeed the ideal wine to “make fuss” with,
to make “baccano”.
Cabernet grapes take the upperhand in “Il Chiostro di Venere”
(“Venus’ Cloister”), mellowed with a light blend of
Sangiovese. It has a commanding, permeating structure, with a superb
taste bal-ance. It surges boldly forward and fully envelopes the palate
with its rare refinement. It sends forth vanilla and leather scents
which in turn yield to currant and blackberry aromas. Its taste, wide
in density and quite persistent in its enticing, seducing finale, reaches
way deep. A great Tuscan wine with an adventure-loving twist to it.
The Rosso di Clausura (“Cloister Red”)
stakes it all on the traits of the Sangiovese grapes, with but a small
input of Merlot to reach a surprising final blend when it comes to gracefulness
and smartness. Though scents from spices, ripe fruits and plum pre-serve
prevail when first smelling it, no doubt its main strength lies in its
velvety smoothness against the palate, where it unfolds all of its roundness
and persuasiveness in a tasteful and appetizing finale. It flows straight
into your soul from the first sip.
