Senorio De Broches, vino dulce natural

Senorio De Broches, vino dulce natural is a sweet wine from the region of Malaga in Spain. The producer is Bodegas Antonio Muñoz Cabrera, which is a family owned Bodega that was founded in 1927. They focus on the grape Moscatel to produce sweet and dry wines. 

Their wine Senorio De Broches, vino dulce natural is made by letting the grapes dry in the sun in so called paseros so they can get a high sugar level and therefore no extra sugar is added to the wine. The wine is fermented up to 10% before brandy is added to stop the fermentation at the ABV of 15%. 

The taste is of orange, honey and dried apricot. A nice fortified sweet wine.

San Claudio II Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2015

Tuscan reds are among the most popular wines in the world but I have not drank so much from the region of Montepulciano in Tuscany. The wine San Claudio II Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano is from the producer Del Giusto Cantina. The Cantina Del Giusto is a small size farm situated near the foot of Montepulciano in the area of Acquaviva. it is run by the Del Giusto family, now into their fourh generation of winegrowers in Montepulciano.

Their wine Sand Claudio II is a Vino Nobile Montepulciano 2015. SAN CLAUDIO II comes from the name of the old farm built in 1958, once utilized for winemaking and ageing cellar, where today the precious old instruments used for wine making are conserved. The grapes used are 85% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile), 10% Canaiolo Nero, 5% Mammolo.  The wine is stored 6 months in stainless steel containers, 24 months in large casks of Slavonian oak, 8 months in the bottle before being sold.

The taste is of red cherry, red currant and some leather. A complex wine which are very good. This is a wine that is good to drink today but can be stored a couple of years longer.
