Appetising sparkling yellow-green colour and fine foaming perlage. Clear and intense fragrance of peach and green apple, with aromas of fine buttered pastry in the background. On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced with lots of fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong red with dark reflections. Delicate scent of plum jam and gingerbread. Also soft on the palate, with notes of nuts, sultanas and with beautiful juicy fruit. A real flatterer, wonderfully balanced with great drinking flow, and one of our bestsellers for years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pleasant nose of ripe plums, together with hints of fresh cherries, black pepper, aromatic herbs and prunes. Full-to medium-bodied with a good bead of sweet fruit, riding firm, silky tannins. Long, controlled and well-balanced finish." James Suckling

Bright, shining yellow, fine fragrance of white fruits and blossoms. Fresh, well-balanced taste with pleasantly lively acidity, delicate bitter almond note in the finish and a fine mineral vein in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

The Riserva from the great traditional line of de Castris captivates with intense cherry fruit and fine wood notes. Powerful, round and harmonious on the palate, with a wonderfully long finish. Every year a fantastic price-pleasure ratio! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright dark ruby. Very spicy nose bordering on animal, pepper, dried rose petal, then Amarena cherry, reverberating with pickled plums. On the palate then marked by beautiful juiciness and freshness, opens with delicate pressure, shows character, slightly salty, coherent palate progression." Falstaff

"A harmonious red, medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and well-knit flavors of crushed black cherry, espresso crema, violet and spice. A streak of rich, loamy earth is the savory underpinning that emerges on the chewy finish." Wine Spectator

"An alluring mix of clove, allspice, ginger and dusty rose rises up from the 2017 Salice Salentino Riserva. It's silky in texture yet lifted in feel, presenting a pure display of red and blue fruits giving way to exotic spices and sweet tannins that saturate toward the close. Notes of plum and licorice linger through the long, lightly structured finale." Vinous

Creamy, fragrant white. The fine floral bouquet with a hint of citrus blossom and delicate almond notes is a dream. This brilliant wine is wild and mild at the same time. Sweetness and acidity are wonderfully balanced, the finish flowing, slightly salty and wonderfully soft. SUPERIORE.DE

With the Lugana San Benedetto, Zenato shows every year anew how delicious the whites from Lake Garda can be. Crisp apples, pears, flowers and spices are just some of the notes that flow from this graceful, very pleasing white wine. On the palate, it is spicy, full and harmonious and the vibrant acidity blends freshly and well into the overall picture. SUPERIORE.DE

A bright, brilliant wine with golden reflections. The aroma is characterised by floral notes, summer fruits and honey. Rich and fresh on the palate with a full round finish - very drinkable! SUPERIORE.DE

Rich and dense ruby red, open and accessible nose with beautiful blackberry fruit, light tea notes in the background. Also in the taste a beautiful fruit, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, then hearty tannin and a round finish. You simply can't get more classic Vino Nobile for this price. SUPERIORE.DE

"Surprises with an opulent fruit bouquet underpinned by fine spicy and violet notes; compact on the palate, has good tannins, finishes long." Vinum

"Medium shimmering garnet red. Fragrant on the nose of cardamom and ripe blackcurrant, a hint of liquorice and cocoa bean, multi-layered. Spans a wide arc on the palate, grippingly tightly meshed tannin, builds up in layers, compact, pithy, pulls itself juicily into the finish." Falstaff

"The 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silineo takes some time to open up in the glass, dusty and floral, yet beneath, I’m finding musky blackberries and hints of cedary spice. Its textures are silky-smooth and pliant, contrasted by floral-tinged tart berries and a flourish of sour citrus that keeps the expressions lively. A hint of wild herbs and a gentle grip of tannin lingers." Vinous

Soave Monte Carbonare is a beautiful, rich and mineral white wine. Complex aromas of apricot, citrus and orange, structured, expansive and fresh on the palate. Good ageing potential and highly drinkable - ideally aerate sufficiently before drinking! SUPERIORE.DE

Generous bouquet of yellow peaches and aniseed. Ripe, yet incredibly fresh fruit on the palate, very harmonious and diverse. In the long final we discover a mineral note as well as a delicate hint of caramel, very nice interpretation of a Greco di Tufo. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Greco di Tufo Novaserra is savory to the core, with notes of dusty florals, exotic spice, and young pear up front. With time in the glass, it gains richness, taking on green citrus and a hint of hazelnut. On the palate, I'm finding this Greco to have a fresh and vibrant display, soothing the senses with ripe, citrus-tinged apple, while stimulating acids and minerals build through the long and zesty finish." Vinous

"The Mastroberardino 2019 Greco di Tufo NovaSerra shows clarity and lots of tangy lemon with white peach, quince and pear. This Greco-based wine is linear and bright with great acidity and sharp mineral tones that add focus and framing to those citrusy notes at its core. NovaSerra is the ultimate palate cleanser, especially if a plate of calamari fritti is in the works." Robert Parker

"White spring blossom, exotic fruit and peach aromas shape the enticing nose. It's savory and medium in weight, doling out Meyer lemon, honeydew melon and ripe yellow apple before a tangy saline finish. Bright acidity lifts the juicy flavors." Wine Enthusiast

"Aromas of honeydew melon, crushed stones, thyme, and dried peaches follow through to a full body with a dense palate and lots of white pepper and spice on the finish. Very typical." James Suckling

Perfect Sicilian white wine with bestseller status: light and of excellent balance with very delicate acidity. Straw yellow colour, the aromas delicate and fruity, with light notes of apple and banana. Pleasant, clean taste reminiscent of ripe fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

The rugged, red-tinged rocky landscape of Ripe in the immediate vicinity of the vineyards gave its name to the Riparosso. Its intense bouquet of delicately fresh character is beguiling, the velvety and mild taste absolutely seductive. SUPERIORE.DE

The Tralcetto is concentrated and beautifully complex. Already in the powerful bouquet of sweet and sour cherries, it reveals its original grape. True to the classic style, it reveals a very good taste with powerful fruit. A wonderful Montepulciano with a nuanced spectrum of aromas and a remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Terlaner Cuvée (formerly Terlaner Classico) is the wine that best embodies the identity and personality of this iconic agricultural cooperative in South Tyrol. It has been closely associated with the history of the winery like no other wine since its founding year in 1893. Since the 2013 vintage, its grapes have come from selected vineyards in the Vorberg, Kreuth and Winkl sites. Aromas of tropical fruit and passion fruit, peach, pear and sweet almonds are surrounded by a salty, mineral vein, giving this beautiful white wine finesse and the typical Terlan character. SUPERIORE.DE

Concerto is an extremely elegant, perfectly balanced Lambrusco. Purple ruby, fine foam. Clear and flawless its dark fruity blackberry aroma, round, fresh and animating the dry, tart-spicy taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark purple with a persistent head. In the nose of rich cherries and plums, blackberry syrup, also has something of elderberries, delicate yeasty notes in the finish. Juicy on the palate, with tension, shows well-integrated perlage, has persistence throughout." Falstaff

"Black cherry aromas. Frothy mousse, plums and concentrated black fruits on the palate." Decanter

The white wine classic Critone, made predominantly of Chardonnay, offers clear aromas of yellow fruits and fresh apple scent. The elegant taste has a beautiful structure and remains fruity-fresh until the remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant ruby red. Intense varietal aroma of ripe red fruits, almonds and slightly roasted coffee, full of freshness, elegance and length on the palate. A top wine in its class, not least because of its excellent value. SUPERIORE.DE

Powerful fragrance, showing fresh fruity tones, but also spicy nuances. Very appealing on the palate, full and hearty, well structured and with the certain finesse of a class wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep dark red, complex, almost beguiling aroma reminiscent of plump, ripe raspberries and strawberries, plus the finest spice, creamy, chocolaty, very haunting. A soft texture on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep red colour, fascinating complex aroma spectrum on the nose. Dominated by the ripe berry scent, with hints of plums and tobacco. Powerful and intense on the palate, rich in extract, with juicy soft tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Well-meshed aromas of wet tobacco, menthol and dark cherry drive the dense nose, with an energetic lift from peppery thyme. Grippy red plum skin and cherry notes are fleshed out by juicy waves of acidity on the midpalate. Come the finish, everything cinches up into a neat package." Wine Enthusiast

"Some balance of fruit and oak to this riserva. Medium-bodied with fine oak and fruit tannins that are melded together. Could do with more fruit mid-palate. A little two-dimensional, but structurally sound and a decent." James Suckling

Dreamlike Barbera, dedicated to the last work (La Luna e i Falo = Young Moon) of the writer Cesare Pavese. This wine symbolises the connection to the earth and to one's own origins. Dark purple. On the nose complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, finest spices, plums and black forest berries. In the mouth polished, dense and with lots of fruit. Present but silky tannins, finely enclosed by the fruit, finesse-rich and persistent with a first-class acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with violet. In the nose with a clear use of wood, light malt, milk chocolate, then violets and wild berries. On the palate supple and with a rich melting, comes in many layers, then in the finish unfortunately a bit consuming due to the wood use." Falstaff

"Rather complex nose here with a black-fruit core that’s colored by a variety of aromas, from hazelnuts to clay-like minerals, violets and perfumed bark. The same complexity on the almost full-bodied palate with luscious, sweet-fruit flavors and a controlled finish with very fine, lightly firm tannins. Long, savory aftertaste. Nicely done. This is serious barbera that will age nicely for some years. Gets better and better every vintage." James Suckling

Bright, shining ruby. Youthful nose of early ripe cherries and wild strawberries, slightly vegetal, delicately peppery and spicy in the aftertaste. On the palate very juicy and with young tannin, crisp fruit, high drinkability, in a few months still complete, great food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

"The change in the winery is most evident here. Much more precise, purer than previous vintages. Enormously fragrant, fresh and crisp, with red fruits, cherry, raspberry. Extremely animating to drink with fine tannin, remains delicate and elegant until the final. Very animating. Bravo!" Weinwisser

"Their easy-drinking 2020 Morellino di Scansano delivers lots of soft cherry and sweet ripeness. This Sangiovese-based wine also shows Mediterranean herb and wild rose. These are fresh and immediate results to pair with a plate of cheese ravioli in sage and butter sauce. The wine concludes with a soft, accessible personality." Robert Parker

"Made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo, this opens with aromas of red-skinned berry, underbrush and baking spice. The bright palate offers dried red cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside velvety tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Plenty of sweet berries and cherries with hints of burnt orange. It’s medium-bodied with a caressing, creamy structure. Pretty fruit at the end. Balanced and beautiful. Always satisfies." James Suckling

Chianti Classico Vallenuova has the potential to become a favourite wine. It is the archetypal expression of Sangiovese from a single vineyard, which could not be more typical and authentic. Lively, sparkling ruby, a little cedar and small wild berries on the nose, along with spices, beetroot and white pepper. On the palate, leather, tobacco and a hint of citrus fruit, in the final it presents itself pleasantly lean with a convincing, drinkable freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Serious, intense, many-layered nose. Very savoury and dense with great construction. Long and interesting with admirable depth. Hugely impressive wine. Very clean, fresh finish." Jancis Robinson

"Aromas of earth, and even barnyard, mingle with cherry and raspberry flavors in this dense, taut red. Though monolithic and austere, the fruit persists and matches the tannins in the end, where mineral and tobacco elements also emerge." Wine Spectator

"A fresh, tangy Chianti Classico with red berries and hints of orange peel. Medium body and a crisp finish." James Suckling

Bright ruby red with violet reflections and intensely fragrant, very clear, the Ca' di Pian shows ripe dark cherry and black currant. Beautifully juicy on the palate, it develops with power, but always remains elegant. A hint of mint in the precise finish. SUPERIORE.DE
