The year 980 is the first year where the first sighting of wine making at Villa Saletta has been found. A whole history behind a winery, which is why they make their wines completely traditional. Since 2000, the winery has been owned by Guy and Julia Hands.
Only perfect berries are used, using small new barrels of Allier French oak with integral fermentation. Perlè vats are also used, which create a 'redox atmosphere'. This reduces the amount of oxygen to which the grapes are exposed, so that the first drops of wine develop slowly on the skin. This preserves freshness and aroma while extracting color and roundness for an elegant and supple soft tannin structure.
In all wines, the must undergoes a full malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. This converts the sharp acidity into smoother, more buttery flavors. They are one of the few Italian companies that does this full (and expensive) mallolactic fermentation in new oak and is a technique that is more associated with the (top) bordeaux wines.
The 980 AD is only made in magnum format and the 980 AD is a reference to the year they found the first record of winemaking at Villa Saletta. The Villa Saletta AD 980 is only made in the good years and 980 magnums are made of the 2015 vintage. The wine has a very velvety attack, rich in concentrated fruits such as cherries, raspberries, blueberries and cassis fruit. Very complex but also very elegant wine with flavors of black pepper and vanilla. This Super Tuscan in a 100% Cabernet Franc which has matured for 24 months in French oak and then had a further 6 months in the bottle.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2015 Villa Saletta AD 980 Magnum opent met geconcentreerd blauw en zwart fruit zoals kers, blauwe bes en cassis, ondersteund door tonen van leisteen, zwarte thee, zwarte peper en subtiele vanille, met een volle body, frisse onderstroom en strakke, fluwelige tannines. Door die frisse structuur en stevige tannines snijdt de wijn door vet en rijke smaken heen, waardoor hij perfect harmonieert met rundvlees, lam, wild, stoofschotels en gegrild vlees; de fruitigheid en fijne eikenhoutinvloed geven bovendien een elegante tegenhanger voor kruidige en gerookte gerechten. Kies voor langzaam gegaarde stoofpotten of braises, gegrild of peperkorst rundvlees en kruidige of rozemarijn- en knoflookgerechten van lam, of barbecuestukken met houtskool en een licht rokerig sausje om de complexiteit van deze Super Tuscan maximaal tot zijn recht te laten komen. |
