Covid 19: Respect the rules and go on

As you know we are in the middle of an international emergency (not only Italian) where every citizen is required a great effort and great civil responsibility to fight the spread of Covid-19. For this reason many events (perhaps all of them) related to wine will be postponed or even cancelled and our movements as well will have to be more controlled and limited. Despite this exceptional situation, our company, following the Government instructions and health practices necessary to protect our employees, normally proceeds with its business to ensure that our wines can regularly reach local and international markets, guaranteeing our partners around the world extraordinary commercial support as they do with us every day. While we are waiting to meet again and return to normal human relations and the splendid conviviality that wine represents, we are keeping you company, virtually, with the story of the events of the year just ended, certain that soon, thanks to everyone’s effort, which today translates into a necessary rarefaction of meetings, we will be able to toast together again.

Tasting Aperitif

The Tasting Aperitif… Just in time before Christmas!

Anche quest’anno, per salutare il 2019 e brindare al 2020, abbiamo incontrato gli amici giornalisti per un cocktail natalizio nella Capitale. La location scelta quest’anno è il Glam, contemporaneo hotel all’interno di un prestigioso edificio d’epoca, affacciato sul Palazzo delle Esposizioni, a due passi dall’Altare della Patria e dai Fori Imperiali. Protagonisti della serata la linea glamour di Sensi vini, 18 K, per il brindisi iniziale e soprattutto i vini di Fattoria di Calappiano, che hanno accompagnato la cena/degustazione. Il focus è stato sull’assaggio dei vini della Fattoria, azienda di famiglia di Massimo Sensi, fiore all’occhiello della produzione. Qui la famiglia Sensi coltiva le proprie uve secondo i dettami dell’agricoltura biologica, sperimentando e producendo vini attraverso uno sviluppo etico e sostenibile, attento all’ecosistema e alla riduzione dell’impatto ambientale. Ci troviamo nel territorio del Montalbano, tra le province di Firenze, Prato e Pistoia in un territorio valorizzato da un clima continentale mitigato dalle influenze del Mediterraneo, caratterizzato da un greticcio cretoso ricco di conchiglie e minerali, caratteristiche preziose per un vino di qualità. Una serata dunque in cui assaggiare tutte le declinazioni del sangiovese, dal Vinciano Riserva al Lungarno, fino alla mini-verticale di Collegonzi per osservare come il tempo modella e plasma questo elegante vino del territorio. In degustazione la prima annata del vino di punta di Fattoria di Calappiano, la 2015, e a seguire un 2016 in splendida forma – sontuoso, avvolgente e ricco di profumi. Infine un’anteprima, la nuova annata 2017, ancora in affinamento ma già in grado di mostrare la sua potenza e pienezza. In abbinamento alle tante sfumature del sangiovese altrettante sfumature gastronomiche proposte dallo chef Marco Scarallo. Tanti gli abbinamenti per valorizzare i vini, dal petto d’anatra in dolce cottura con puntarelle e uva sultanina allo stinco di vitello al vino rosso e cremoso di patata, fino al carpaccio di manzo con misticanza alle nocciole e cannolo di caprino e un golosissimo finale con il raviolo fresco di burrata in fondente di tartufo uncinato. Piatti strutturati e ricchi di sapore, in grado di accompagnare e valorizzare i sapidi e potenti vini che affondano le radici nelle colline care a Leonardo Da Vinci.

COLLEGONZI

The Collegonzi at the Convivio Troiani

We enter with the cameras in one of the temples of the Roman restaurant, Il Convivio Troiani, 1 Michelin star. A meeting between the kitchen of chef Angelo Troiani with one of his workhorses, the Amatriciana, and our most important wine, the Collegonzi. A starred food pairing to enhance the envelopment and fullness of Montalbano’s Sangiovese with the crunchiness and succulence of one of the most typical dishes of Roman cuisine. A marriage between Tuscany and Lazio, between Vinci and Rome, to discover a rich and delicious combination.
