New Wine Released 2011 Ayden Wines Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva CASTELLO DI BOSSI - RENIERI DI MONTALCINO Vintage. 2010 Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the vineyards of Marco Bacci is blended from Frantoio, Leccino, and Moraiolo olive varieties to produce the unique taste, similar to the fine wines that the Bacci wineries are known for. As a producer of world class wines, the quality and care of each olive is essential in the production of the Extra Virgin Olive oil; which is among the world's finest. Tasting notes: A vibrant, rich green hue precedes a refreshingly crisp nose with generous fruit alongside more nuanced vegetal aromas, among which artichoke emerges clearly. The palate is supple and elegant, ending in a succulent, nicely piquant finish with excellent length “The main difference between our olive oil and the olive oil of other makers is that we harvest the olives every day, and press the olives every night. Our olives are pressed, not more than 12 hours from the harvest as this ensures we obtain the best of flavors and taste”. Marco Bacci © 2009 – 2011 Ayden Wines. All rights reserved. Yearly Harvest Released in Feb/March of the following year About Andrew Johnson Ayden Wines Having been in the F&B business for over 22 years, I have cultivated a long standing love and passion for wines. When I first tasted a classic Italian red, it inspired me to uncover the secrets of how a little grape could evoke such complexity of texture, aromas, and flavors I experienced. I have since dedicated myself to developing a sound knowledge of wines, travelling to the vineyards in Italy for a first hand personal experience on how grapes are cultivated and harvested, and studying the history and fundamentals of wine-making. In 2009, I was appointed as the direct family representative of the wineries of Marco Bacci. For many of us, the world of wine and wine appreciation may seem intimidating, but it need not be at all. Anyone can begin the journey of learning about wine and how to taste wine at their own pace and in their own style. Some wine lovers get excited and are bubbling with passion in their approach towards the world of fine wine, while others will prefer to pace themselves a step at a time, or just simply enjoying a glass of wine occasionally. Whichever path you choose, it only takes an introduction to get you started, to make you feel comfortable about tasting and assessing, discussing, and appreciating wine. An introduction I would like to share with you. Andrew Johnson Mobile : +(65) 9061.1170 (Singapore) +(39) 345 322 19 40 (Italy) Email: aj@aydenwines.com Website www.aydenwines.com
