2009 Leon Millot
Dry red wine
This red wine is well-balanced and full bodied, with a beautiful ruby red colour. On the nose, it’s a wonderful array of smoke, herbs and a hint of clove… with a whisper of violets at the end! On the palate, you’ll experience unravelling layers of leather, blackberry and pepper. Due to its youth and tannic structure, this wine continues to linger and evolve long after it’s gone. Well integrated Canadian oak (aged for 6 months), Leon Millot is an excellent accompaniment to strong cheeses, lamb, steak and heavy pasta dishes. Enjoy now or age up to 5 years.

Del Gatto Estates

 

Del-Gatto Estates, Bella Vigne is family owned and operated, specializing in hybrid grape varieties. Hand planted, hand picked and hand crafted - our wines will take you on a new journey. You will feel the life in the vines, our love for them, and the passion we have for each vintage. Bringing an authentic feel of Italy to Southern Ontario, we invite you to enjoy something new. Civediamo Presto ! (See you soon ! )





Our vineyard is located in the most picturesque part of Cape Vesey, on the north side of County Road 8, in the heart of the fruit belt. We are a couple kilometers past the Rose House Museum.


The property is approximately 74 acres with currently over 5 acres of vines planted. White Varieties include: Geisenheim (GM322), Chardonnay, Traminette, Frontenac Gris and Seyval Blanc. Red varieties include: St. Croix, Leon Millot, Baco Noir, and Frontenac. You may not have heard of some of these varieties, but we guarantee that once you have tried the wines, you will agree that there are indeed other complex and wonderfully enjoyable varieties available other than the mainstream Cabs, Merlots and Pinots.

The vineyard was planted by hand, and is maintained by family. While we have specialized equipment to keep the weeds at bay; in our first years, we did everything with hand tools. Hand-hoeing still continues but we get a little help from our tractor and grape-hoe. Depending on the variety, we hill up the vines in the fall to protect them through the winter.
