The wine we drunk!

by Jerelis - last update: May 17, 2006

Chanti Baroncini 1999

Chanti Baroncini - 1999

The vineyards cover about 30 hectares of sunny terrain, ideally situated for the production of top quality wines. Wine has been made at Baroncini since extremely remote times. The first inhabitants on the site, the Estruscans, understood that the special makeup of the tufaceous soil that is characteristic of the district was extremely favorable to the production of wine and the excavation of cellars where it could be preserved at length.

The grapes, harvested by hand, are produced according to the European Organic Agricultur regulations and are then selected DOCG and DOC wines. And certified by the AIAB (Italian Organic Agriculture Association) member of I.F.O.A.M. (International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements). The Chianti wine is held in oak casks before being bottled.

Other numerous barriques are used for aging the Fior di Selva Red Wine as well as for producing Verdiglio White Wine.

Casteltorre 2001

Casteltorre - 2001

In 1931, 70 keen wine-growers joined together "to make wine together", laying thus the basis for what is today Casteltorre, that is the group of wine-growers. The groups links together 1000 skilful agriculturist who cultivate 1700 hectares of vineyards, and are the members of the family of the biggest winery in Italy.

The wine-production area is "Friuli Grave" and "Friuli Aquileia", a wide plain in the middle of Friuli Venezia Giulia, region in norht-eastern side of Italy. In these soils made of clay and gravel and in the favourable climate which characterises this Italian region, new and old vines found their ideal conditions of growth, skilfully exploited by man's keen and accomplished hand.

Vine-growing and wine-making activities are two aspects of the same art, learnt by our people through cenuries of experience. In fact, this art has ancient origins. "Casarsa Method", well know everywhere, has been elaborated by the local wine growers, this particular system, allows a better exposition of the bunches to the sun. After an early selection made in the vineyards, the grapes begin their process of transformation and, in the winery placed in the same area of their cultivation, the wines get ripe and refined under the watchful eyes of the oenologists. The marketing staff of our group can avail itself of the experience and qualification of its members, and the final product is granted also particular care in its image and distribuition. Special effort are made in facing and trying to match the needs of national and international markets, with the primary task of satisfying even the most exacting consumer.

This white Castletorre is a classical Friuli vine, which is respected forits delicate aroma and fine-textured flavor.

* Color: very pale yellow.
* Fragrance: fine, liaht bouquet of flowers and herbs.
* Flavor: dry, savory and fruity.
* Serving Suggestions: as an apertif or for hors d'oeuvres, seafood, soups, poultry and light cheeses. Serve cool.

 Splendid Venice pages - very informative and interesting. Just what VT should be all about! It's been almost 30 years since I was last there but the one thing that obviously hasn't changed is the cost of hiring a gondola! Worth it though...
