Laphroaig Quarter Cask
$89.99
Casks were much smaller in the 19th C. than today. They gradually grew as the industry did, the larger casks being more cost-effective. But something was lost in the switch to big. The smaller casks gave the whisky up to 60% more exposure to oak thereby intensifying the maturation process. Laphroaig has recreated this style by transferring still maturing whisky into quarter casks for finishing.
Petrolo Galatrona Toscana
$264.99
This historic property dates back to 1834, when it was owned by agronomist Giorgio Perrin, owner of Petrolo and member of the Accademia dei Gergofili of Florence. He celebrated Sangiovese and this land, especially a spot called Campo Asciutto (now Bòggina), explaining how it was common practice at the time to plant “French grapes” in Chianti to blend with Sangiovese, in soils that favour specific varietals. The estate was acquired in the 40s by the Bazzocchi family who followed the tradition of carefully producing high-quality wines with utter commitment. The characteristics of this area add to its value; the land of Petrolo, where vineyards, olive groves and woods coexist, living side by side, forming a rich ecosystem that contributes to the perfect balance between the different grape varieties. The vineyard extends for three ha and was planted in 1990 on soils with a higher concentration of clay. Galatrona is the first Merlot vineyard that Petrolo planted, and it, along with Sassacia, is Italy's equivalent to first-growth Bordeaux.
