Borgo di Gete

Producer: Agricultural Company Reale

Region: Costa D' Amalfi - Tramonti - Lattari Mountains

Variety: 100% Tintore di Tramonti

Year: 2017

Vinification: Temperature controlled fermentation in steel tanks for 15 days. Aging in barriques for 18 months.

Colour:Fully saturated purple ruby: very dyeing or tinting color!
Fragrance: A first whiff of alcohol wafts away, leaving intense aromas of blackberries, dark red cherries, balsamic oil, sweet spices, and herbs on the inviting nose.
Taste: Fresh, juicy and precise, with ripe, dense flavors of dark fruit and spices, complicated by a hint of pure chocolate. The finish is long and vibrant. This is one big but refined wine that calls for steaks and rich game dishes or stews. More importantly: it is also a knockout. 100% Tintore di Tramonti picked from extremely old vines planted in 1920 (the Casa de Rosa vineyard) and 1929 (the Vigna Diana).

Dish combinations:

• Various red meat and game dishes: bistecca fiorentina, venison with a berry red wine sauce, tagliatelle with wild boar ragu.

Serving temperature:18 C° - decant at least 2 hours in advance!

Shelf life:until 2038

Anecdote: This is a gem that perfectly matches the DNA of Vino Celeste: limited quantities but very high quality. The Tintore grape is only cultivated by a few producers to make red wines. Luigi knows better than anyone how to handle the Tintore grape to create a top wine. He only produces it in exceptionally good years. This wine is already drinkable but can easily age for another 15 years. A standout that can easily compete with the best from Tuscany and Piemonte. Only 1500 bottles worldwide, so we are proud to have secured a number of bottles. Not to be missed!

Scores: 94/100

An initial whiff of alcohol on blows off, leaving behind intense aromas of blackberry, dark red cherry, balsamic oils, sweet spices and herbs on the inviting nose. Fresh, juicy and precise, with ripe, dense flavours of dark fruits and herbs, complicated by a note of dark chocolate. Finishes long and lively with very good cut and clarity. This is one big but refined wine just begging for steaks and rich game dishes or beef stews. More importantly, it’s also a knockout. 100% Tintore di Tramonti picked from extremely old vines planted in 1920 (the Casa de Rosa vineyard) and 1929 (the Vigna Diana) and aged eighteen months in French oak barrels.
