Enjoy it now, or within 2 years of bottling. No need to decant before serving. Founded by the son of a farmer in 1968, Bortolin Angelo winery has become renowned within the Prosecco DOC for its high-quality sparkling wine. Angelo Bortolin built the winery’s reputation himself, but since 1993 his three children have also become heavily involved in the business. Bortolin Angelo winery is in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene sub-region. The best vineyards here are found in the same environment as the winery itself - the precipitous edges of the Alps. Some vineyards are planted on slopes so steep that the Glera grapes can only be harvested by hand. Valdobbiadene is widely considered to be the best region for Prosecco in the whole of Treviso. The Valdobbiadene Extra Dry is a pale straw yellow, with fine perlage shooting upwards through the glass. Sweet scents of lightly toasted almonds and white flowers erupt from the bottle's neck, which is designed to imitate a twisting vine root. Notes of peach, pear, apple and light citrus mix on the palate, with some slight herbaceousness. It contains both a creaminess and minerality, with further notes of almond on the finish. Best served chilled, in a large glass for aeration. It will be excellent as an aperitif, or served with a citrus dessert, like a lemon tart or meringue pie.
Primitivo di Manduria 60 anni old vines
Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving. Lovers of big, bold and juicy reds will adore this Primitivo which combines power with balance and elegance. The nose is an explosion of bright cherries, sweet plum jam, and hints of licorice, sandalwood and cinnamon while the first sip reveals a rich full body, smooth texture, an intense hit of ripe dark berries and a very long finish. To craft this powerful wine San Marzano only use grapes harvested from their 60 to 100 year old vines which produce tiny quantities of intensely flavoured fruit. This 40 hectare vineyard known as the Valle del Sessantanni or “Sixty-Year-Old Valley” is one of the oldest in San Marzano and contains bush vines which had been abandoned prior to their discovery and rehabilitation by the Cantine San Marzano. The terra rossa or ‘red soil” here is rich in iron which gives the vineyard its striking colour and combines with the warm climate to offer ideal growing conditions for the Primitivo grape. Following the harvest and fermentation of the must, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months to add sweet spice character and additional complexity. Ideal for savouring on a cold winter’s evening by the fire, this characterful wine also makes an excellent partner for hearty meat dishes like a lamb chop, beef stew, or fresh pasta served with a rich ragu sauce.
The Book of Athyra: Contains the Complete Text of Athyra and Orca
The Book of Jhereg and The Book of Taltos collected the first five novels of Steven Brust's highly imaginative fantasy series that Locus praised as 'entertaining and worth reading.' The Book of Athyra features books six and seven in the series--Athyra and Orca. Vlad Taltos is a sorcerer and assassin without peer--as deadly at spell casting as he is with sword wielding. Accompanying him on his journeys are two leathery-winged jhereg who share a telepathic link with Vlad--and triple his chances against even the most powerful of enemies... In Athyra, Vlad finds he's ready to retire himself and his jhereg companions, but the biggest hitters of the House of the Jhereg have something else in mind. In Orca, Vlad must repay a debt to a boy who saved his life--even if it means breaking a financial scandal big enough to bring down the House of the Orca, and possibly the entire Empire...
