OTHERS SPEAK OF US

DECANTER - August 2007 issue - article titled "Can Tuscany Do Value? - There are plenty of Tuscan wines under £20, says Mark O'Halleron. But our tasting showed you need to exercise caution in which you pick..."

Of 100 wines tasted our CORPO NOTTE was included in the 24 selected and recommended: "Big, spicy, tarry and oaky nose. Palate is soft with good intensity of warm, spicy fruit. Decent complexity on the finish." 3 stars.

First we were impressed with your design and presentation.  It does give a quality feel, without making the error of masquerading as a wine with a long tradition.  The name CORPO NOTTE and the colour of the wine, the container and the label are unified in saying sturdy dark and concentrated.  They don\'t all say complex - just the wine does that.  (It) Reminded us of Cote Rotie, with its slightly "burnt" note and weighty feel in the mouth.
(...) Perhaps the one suggestion I might make is to include your own manuscript words about the two of you having grown, harvested and bottled "with your own hands".  (...) You are a "boutique" or artisanal producer.  YOU ARE LIKE A BESPOKE SUIT, A LIMITED EDITION, A UNIQUE BLEND, A SECRET KNOWN ONLY TO A FEW.  SIMPLY KNOWING ABOUT YOUR WINE CONFERS A CACHET.  DRINKING IT IS A NEAR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE."

Your ...(Corpo Notte)...wine is very good!!!!! Powerful aromas of crush black fruits, beautiful wine with plum and berry character. I liked a lot the balance:  it's rich and ripe, full bodied with fine tannins and a caressing texture.
Lovely, seductive and racy.
I like it a lot! "

"The comments about the wines were enthusiastic. Especially D.A. fell in love with Corpo Notte and...drank the whole bottle (with my help, of course).
The wines are outstanding (...)  Have you thought of selling en primeur?...you can always count on me to be your first buyer of any new vintage."
