The historic Fontanafredda winery was founded in 1858 and this Alba wine is from one of the 11 villages that make Barolo shine. This Serralunga is hip. It\u2019s tiled, clear, with kirsch cherry, dried flowers, a nice patina of tannins and an ineffable length on the palate. A short period of decanting, 30 to 60 minutes, will give it wings. A succulent organic wine that can be kept for 10 to 15 years, even if it is already very good. Enjoy it with prosciutto or a fine piece of veal to embellish it. Brilliant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Varietal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100% Nebbiolo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Available in SAQ and BC Liquors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SAQ Code: 13818442<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BC Liquors Code: 99424<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contino Reserva Rioja 2017<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017-Bouteille.jpg\" alt=\"Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017---Bouteille\" class=\"wp-image-46709\" style=\"width:598px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017-Bouteille.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017-Bouteille-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017-Bouteille-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Contino-Reserva-Rioja-2017-Bouteille-114x114.jpg 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The province of Rioja is located in the north of the Iberian Peninsula and is the capital of Spain\u2019s renowned wines. It is surrounded by mountains in the north of its Avalesa section and the Ebro River in the south, and has a Mediterranean climate. This bottle is the result of 130 years of craftsmanship and great care. On the nose, the berries are charming, complementing the balsamic floral notes. On the palate, we find cherry, tertiary aromas of mushroom and cigar box.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. A minimum of one year\u2019s maturation in oak barrels, of which 40% are American and 60% are French, as well as one year in the bottle, enhances the whole, bringing out its spicy notes and smooth, even silky tannins. What freshness, complexity and personality! It will enhance red meats and grilled vegetables, as well as cheeses such as Manchego. Decanter gave it a score of 89 out of 100, it is balanced and elegant! To go higher, consider the singular Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja&nbsp;2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Varietals:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>85 % Tempranillo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 % Graciano<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 % Mazuelo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 % Grenache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Buy at SAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SAQ Code: 12347159<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ch\u00e2teau Arnauld Cru Bourgeois Haut-M\u00e9doc 2015<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Chateau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-Medoc-2015-Bouteille.jpg\" alt=\"Ch\u00e2teau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-M\u00e9doc-2015---Bouteille\" class=\"wp-image-46714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Chateau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-Medoc-2015-Bouteille.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Chateau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-Medoc-2015-Bouteille-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Chateau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-Medoc-2015-Bouteille-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Chateau-Arnauld-Cru-Bourgeois-Haut-Medoc-2015-Bouteille-114x114.jpg 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bordeaux is a mythical region to rediscover, given the quality of its cr\u00e9mants, whites, reds and sweet wines. In the heart of the M\u00e9doc, on the Left Bank, this region of ch\u00e2teaux is nestled not far from Margaux. The colour of this jewel is dark ruby and brilliant. On the nose, black cherry and salted butter caramel dazzle us. The palate is greedy with its fruity and finely woody notes (16-18 months in oak barrels) which give it a touch of sweet spices. A feeling of harmony comes over us and the whole thing culminates in an elegant and suave finish. And why not with filet mignon and saut\u00e9ed mushrooms or duck and meat pie? A tip: chill it for 20 minutes and decant it for 1 to 2 hours if the weather permits to oxygenate it. Delightful! If you can&#8217;t find it, try Ch\u00e2teau Larose-Trintaudon Haut-M\u00e9doc Cru Bourgeois sup\u00e9rieur.
