TENUTA CISA ASINARI DEI MARCHESI DI GRESY Gaiun Martinenga, Barbaresco

This 20ha vineyard was planted on red clay loam soil at Woori Yallock in 2001 by Lou Primavera, with whom Giant Steps has a long-standing grape-supply relationship. Pinot Noir (114, MV6 and G8V3 clones) grown here on the north and north east facing slopes at 230m is noted for its complex structure and pronounced perfume. The 114 and MV6 are fermented as whole bunches in open vats, while the G8V3 is destemmed, given a long cold-soak and fermented separately to enhance its aromatic contribution. All ferments use indigenous yeasts and the whole-bunch components are periodically foot-stomped to release additional juice. The wines are pressed to 228 litre, French barriques (about 8% new) for 11 months before blending and bottling without fining or filtration.

Ciacci Piccolomini dAragona Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Ciacci Piccolominis 55.5 hectares planted to vine are dedicated to Sangiovese Grosso, the finest iteration of Sangiovese. Facing south in a warmer mesoclimate, the refraction and reflection capacities of ancient shale interspersed with the water-absorption properties of calcareous marl and an altitude between 240 and 360 metres make for a confluence of all the elements intrinsic to their signature superlative Brunello from the single Pianrosso vineyard. 'superlative Brunello across...'- Ned Goodwin MW These elements are maximised in tank for the first fermentation before articulation across a phalanx of traditional Slavonian wood during extended periods of ageing: 24 months for the DOCG Brunello. Brunello 2015

A light, very bright crimson. Smells like a rose garden with a little lavender thrown in! You'll also find aromas of sour cherries and blood oranges. Poised, elegant and persistent, this flows mellifluously across the palate
