“Vigna Pedale” Castel del Monte Riserva DOCG 2016
The grapes for the Vigna Pedale come from vines that are over 30 years old. The vines are planted in a sapling system, which allows only a few grapes per vine. The harvest does not begin until mid-October, which is very unusual for this location so far south. Purple dark red colour. Spicy aroma of cherries, thyme, wild mushrooms and earth, the typical, unadulterated flavour is strong and concentrated with a subtle sweetness. This wine is already a great pleasure today, but still has potential for the coming years. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red with a drop of violet. On the nose with nuances of Amarena cherries, beetroot, also with great spice, like mustard seed, after a little time then on noble wood nuances, appears stony. Clear juiciness on the palate, with plenty of fruit at the core, cool finish, balanced and with race, firm pressure on the final." Falstaff
"On the nose, smoky spice notes to the ripe raspberries with hints of roasted chestnuts and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied with fine, slightly dry tannins and a bright bead of plum skin and raspberry fruit that combine for a tight, fruity finish. Lasting. Flavourful and entertaining." James Suckling

"A fantastic value, the 2019 Salice Riserva 50esima Vendemmia opens with black cherry and plum depths complemented by sweet herbs and tobacco. This is silky-smooth and rich with masses of ripe dark fruits and exotic spices. It leaves a staining of primary concentration while tapering off lightly structured yet energetic." Vinous

Ripassa della Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019
The world-famous Valpolicella Superiore from Zenato, produced using the Ripasso method, is a rich wine with the best value. It is peppery, with earthy tones and gravel giving way to black cherries and savoury herbs. It reveals deep, silky textures balanced by vibrant acids, while ripe red and black fruits resonate under a hint of lavender. Zenato's Ripassa is concentrated and intense, but at the same time conveys elegance and leaves a fresh note of violet candy on the palate that lingers for a long time. SUPERIORE.DE
"Right from the start, this wine shows a beautiful balance between fruity and non-fruity flavours. Aromas of wild plums, dried leaves and fresh flowers share the moment in the glass. The palate is soft and fruity, with flavours of black cherries at the centre. This fruitiness is supported on the finish by notes of turned earth and cocoa." Wine Enthusiast
"The Valpolicella Superiore Ripassa 2019 is dark and brooding in the glass with rich plum and mocha tones accompanied by crushed ash stone. On the inside, it is surprisingly juicy and energetic, combining sour cherry with notes of sage and black olive over a core of vibrant acidity. The 2019 leaves the cheeks tingling and finishes full of tension and spice as the balsamic notes slowly fade away." Vinous
"An elegant red wine of medium body and freshness, with light, fine tannins framing a juicy palette of sun-dried cherries and cranberries, red liquorice, eucalyptus and spiced orange peel that linger on the finish." Wine Spectator
"A beautiful blend of red berries, bright orange peel and spicy cedar on the nose that transitions into a full, round and silky palate with very fine tannins that are well integrated into the texture. Lots of flavour and good length. It's hard not to be satisfied with a glass or two of this. Lasting. Drink it now." James Suckling

“Silineo” Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2020
Rich and dense ruby red colour, open and accessible aroma with beautiful blackberry fruit and light tea notes in the background. The flavour is also beautifully fruity, reminiscent of ripe, dark cherries, followed by hearty tannins and a round finish. More classic Vino Nobile for this price is simply not possible. SUPERIORE.DE
"Exudes an aroma of black cherries, spices and vanilla; polished on the palate, the acidity and tannins in balance, notes of red berries and sandalwood in the powerful final. Goes well with game dishes and spicy roasts." Vinum
"Rich ruby red colour with brightening edges. Accessible on the nose, ripe berry fruit, sour cherry, dried violets, some coconut on the finish. On the palate with a certain light-footedness, ripe fruit tannin, juicy, subtly vegetal on the final." Falstaff
"The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo 2020 opens with hints of white pepper, chalk and dried blueberries. It is silky and plush with tart forest fruits that give it tension. A salty, mineral core provides a savoury character. Wild herbs and liquid stone characterise the finish, while the 2020 ends with a light structure and medium length." Vinous
"Notes of cherries, olives, oranges and peach pits here, with some vanilla. It’s lively and balanced, with a medium body, nicely polished tannins and a long, firm yet supple finish." James Suckling

“Collemassari” Rosso Montecucco Riserva DOC 2019 (BIO)
Intense ruby red, persistent, fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves and cinnamon as well as sweet tobacco flavours. Concentrated, fleshy, tannic, dark fruit flavours on the palate. On the finish, the spicy flavours merge with a pleasant fruity note. An unbeatable wine every year at a very attractive price! SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark, shimmering ruby red colour. Spicy and opulent on the nose, of ripe fruit, liquorice, forest floor and tobacco. Firm tannins and savoury fruit on the palate, carried by fresh acidity, mouth-filling with medium length." Falstaff
"Spicy berries, red plums and cherries are followed by a medium-bodied palate with fresh tannins and a juicy, medium-long finish." James Suckling
"The nose is a savory mix of sour and black cherries, fennel, pepper and graphite. On the palate, blackberries join the black cherries, while the slight dustiness of fennel seed provides balance. Tannins are taut, the acidity is bouncy, and the finish is full of heat." Wine Enthusiast
"The Montecucco Rosso Riserva 2019 is dark and brooding in the glass, with hints of rosemary and sage, chalk dust and autumnal spices that fade into redcurrants. The palate is elegant and refined with supple red and black fruits supported by a core of vibrant acidity. It leaves a layer of fine tannins and a hint of liquorice, while notes of sweet sage and violet blossom fade away." Vinous
"Multi-layered nose of cherries and menthol; pithy in the mouth, lively acidity, fresh, balanced final with an elegant final." Vinum
"Sangiovese, with the participation of Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon, for another of the "favourite sons" of the Maremma. Notes of blueberries on the nose, then laurel and undergrowth, finishing with eucalyptus again. Juicy on the palate, iodised tannins, fruity and balsamic notes." Luca Gardini

“Tignanello” Toscana IGT 2020
Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of Chianti Classico on the gentle hills between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers and comprises 319 hectares of land, of which around 130 are planted with vines. The estate's vineyards include two jewels: Tignanello and Solaia, which are located on the same hill, on calcareous and schistose marl soils of marine origin from the Pliocene, and which benefit from warm days and fresh nights during the growing season. Two wines are produced from these vineyards, which many years ago had the potential to become the starting point of the Italian wine renaissance. Nothing has changed to this day.
Deep ruby red colour. Complex bouquet of ripe fruit such as cherry, strawberry and blackberry, with delicate hints of violet, mallow and rose in the background, followed by roasted coffee and some cocoa. Vibrant, full-bodied and very complex on the palate with primary fruit, elegantly integrated wood spice, pepper and liquorice. Tignanello 2020 is resonant, dense, breathtaking, almost regal. The balance and freshness of the vintage will ensure a promising further maturation and development towards even more finesse and elegance, which will certainly make this vintage one of the best in the long line-up of Tignanello vintages. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich ruby colour with a delicate garnet rim. Very clear and precise on the nose, with a flavour of ripe, plump cherries and blackberries, plus delicate notes of chestnuts and blood oranges. Firm, savoury tannins characterise the palate, lots of juicy fruit, builds full-bodied." Falstaff
"A concentrated red wine with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, iron, tobacco and vanilla, framed by sweet spices and roasted flavours. It finishes with mouth-flattering tannins, but is quite balanced overall. Seductive and stylish." Wine Spectator
"The Tignanello 2020 shows a beautiful bouquet with an open-minded and accessible personality. Right away you can recognise dark cherries, dried raspberries, spices, toasted almonds and citrusy blood oranges. This vintage is very nice and will not require a long wait. The tannins are sweet and silky." Wine Advocate
"The Tignanello 2020 is so original, so intensely fruity that it almost tastes like a barrel sample. A burst of red Sangiovese fruit opens first, followed by notes of blood orange, cinnamon, spices, dried flowers and mocha that develop later. With time in the glass, the impressive dimensions come to light. In 2020, the Tignanello is wonderfully supple and racy, with fine tannins lying beneath a core of bright, plastic fruit. The balance here is simply superb. I can't wait to taste the 2020 again as it ages." Vinous
"The ancestor of the Supertuscans in timeless form: Multi-faceted bouquet with aromas of black cherries, black pepper, orange zest and herbs; despite its youth, it has a cosy texture, tightly woven tannins, the acidity provides ageing potential, complex finish that tempts you to have another glass." Vinum
"Violets and lavender with dark fruits and a hint of dark chocolate. Sophisticated nose. Medium-bodied with a fine tannin structure that gives it finesse and beauty. It is very long and lingers for minutes. Precision. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years." James Suckling
"One of the first Italian brands with international appeal and at the same time a great terroir wine. Refined bouquet with notes of blueberry jam, undergrowth and black peppercorns, with a citrus-like finish. Salty on the palate, very persistent, fruity and spicy on the finish." Luca Gardini

Limitation of 4 articles per customer“Argentiera” Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2020
Full-bodied, noble cuvée from the winery of the same name: aromas of red fruits, a light hint of roasted coffee, juniper, pepper and animal notes, an excellent tannin structure and a beautiful acidity give the "Bordeaux from Bolgheri" its exceptional independence and great elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Expansive bouquet with ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and ethereal-balsamic notes, plus cedar and tobacco notes, flirts with overripeness. In the mouth, despite the dense structure with a supple drinking flow, appears polished and full-bodied with fine acidity, elaborate tannin, not as crisp as some others, rather round, subtle and gently melting, in the final then with a characterful mineral-iron-like and typical spice." Weinwisser
"Argentiera typically shines for its reddish fruit in this hilly southern part of Bolgheri, and here we have an intensity of red fruits, mostly cherry, which dominates the notes along with a floral touch. The style is juicy with refined, velvety tannins, zesty acidity, and a polished, elegant palate impression. The use of oak is balanced, with a soft toastiness and restrained tobacco aftertaste. Still tight at the moment, this will need bottle ageing to soften it." Decanter
"The Argentiera 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is and remains a proud and cautious expression of a hot vintage. The fruit intensity starts with a bang, and the wine shifts up into sixth gear in the first few moments. However, the overall experience is somewhat shorter. Perhaps you should give it more time in the bottle." Wine Advocate
"A dark, brooding red, but also soft and complex, revealing flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, loam and sweet spice. Wonderfully balanced and fluid, with a long, detailed aftertaste that plays around the tannins. Impressive." Wine Spectator
"Charismatic bouquet of plum jam and herbs, also liquorice and pepper; powerful in the mouth with lots of juice, pressure and length." Vinum
"Rich flavours of currants and plums with undertones of chocolate and walnut. Full-bodied and chewy with layers of tannins. It is a big wine and very juicy with a polished and long finish. Needs five to six years to mellow." James Suckling
"Bright, rich ruby red colour with a delicate purple hue. Expressive and fragrant nose of rich wild berries, ripe cherries and a hint of dark chocolate, with fine floral components, precious wood and light spice. Shows itself on the palate with great melting and tightly interwoven tannins, very powerful, pure and clear in the course, very long, still young." Falstaff

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Bright ruby red colour, open-hearted notes of cherry, raspberry and violet, paired with green pepper and cloves. Delicate on the palate, with a nice tang. Delicate, fine tannins, vivaciously supported by a fresh acidity structure with subtle extract sweetness, round off this incredibly authentic and juicy Tuscan experience. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Chianti Classico is bright, floral and fruity, giving it great immediacy. Crushed flowers, cedar, tobacco and mint play with a core of vibrant Sangiovese fruit in this charming, medium-bodied offering from San Felice." Vinous
"A fresh and delicious Chianti Classico with a lightness and crispness. Sour cherries and light orange blossom. Light and beautiful." James Suckling
"The 2021 Chianti Classico proves to be a versatile wine and a fundamentally food-friendly choice with lots of purple and blue fruits with hints of fragrant wild roses. The wine has a medium weight and plenty of fresh acidity that pairs well with cream or butter ingredients." Wine Advocate
"Cranberries, strawberries and orange peel with fennel and sage and a mineral edge of just crushed rock are on the nose and then are repeated on the palate, where they come together in an elegant balance against firm but polished tannins and vibrant acidity." Wine Enthusiast
"Intense notes on the nose, hints of black raspberries, with memories of mint and cinnamon from Valdostan. Juicy and spicy flavour, with a comeback of rowan and green pepper." Luca Gardini

“L’Atto” Rosso Basilicata IGT 2022
"L'Atto" - "The Deed". The names of Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti's wines are reminiscent of his father's notarial world.
Atto exudes a bouquet of crushed purple candies, freshly cut plums and a hint of musk. It is soft and fleshy in style, while silky textures reveal an opulent display of ripe black fruits and sweet herbal notes on the palate. Spiced blackberries mingle with hints of ginger biscuits and purple-hued flowers as it finishes long. There is plenty of immediate pleasure here, but not at the expense of balance. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dusty dried florals, blackberries and exotic spice waft up from the 2022 l’Atto. This soothes with its silky textures and ripe wild berry fruits as sour citrus adds a lovely contrast toward the close. It finishes long and with a bitter tinge. Residual acids maintain a fresh character." Vinous

“Costamolino” Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2023
Creamy, fragrant white wine. The fine floral bouquet with a hint of citrus blossom and a delicate almond note is a dream. This brilliant wine is wild and mild at the same time. Sweetness and acidity are wonderfully balanced, the finish is flowing, slightly salty and wonderfully soft. SUPERIORE.DE

“Alta Mora” Bianco Etna DOC 2022
Here is one of the most beautiful interpretations of the white Carricante grape variety, matured for six months on the fine lees. A fresh, dynamic wine from Etna with a multi-faceted aroma of citrus, white peach, yeast, flint and smoke. Cool grapefruit and passion fruit, taut acidity and impressive mineral notes on the dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright green-yellow in colour. Delicately smoky, stony on the nose, with subtle hints of salted lemon and some white flowers. Vibrant, salty on the palate, with noble citrus fruit." Falstaff
"Remarkably fresh, the 2022 Etna Bianco wafts up with an herbal-tinged bouquet that blends wet stone and hints of smoke with crushed almonds and pear. This washes across the palate with a mineral-laden wave of ripe orchard fruits, offset by a touch of sour lime. It finishes crisply refreshing and long, with a bump of mouthwatering acidity that calls the taster back to the glass." Vinous
"The nose is characterised by light, floral aromas of yellow apples, pears, lemons and white flowers, while warm, stony undertones provide balance. The palate is characterised by citrus fruits, with tree fruits not neglected, before a slightly nutty, salty finish supported by a gentle acidity." Wine Enthusiast
"Notes of ripe apples and pears with spices, camomile and a stony minerality. Medium-bodied, supple and polished with juicy acidity and delicious fruit. Complex and full of character." James Suckling
"From the districts of Verzella and Pietramarina, a pure Carricante grown between 600 and 750 metres above sea level and then aged for four months in steel tanks. Notes of lychee on the nose, with a hint of lemon thyme and white melon, with hints of lemon and wild mint. Salty-orange on the palate, with a fruity, citrusy finish." Luca Gardini

“Ruspoli” Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Rich ruby red colour. Bouquet of rose hips and ripe raspberries, juicy and gripping on the palate. For us, another beautiful facet of Chianti Classico, just as it should be: authentic, drinky and excellent value! SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark red; barrel-like, wet autumn leaves, inviting; barrel-like, round, juicy, sweet, off-dry, length, drinky, very pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"Bright ruby colour with a slight garnet hue. Smells of crisp, dark cherries, iodine and sea salt on the nose. Grippy, fine-meshed tannins, shows good grip, juicy fruit, savoury and clear, still a little young, but has good potential." Falstaff
"The powerfully savory nose features notes of earth, balsamic, meat, leather and soil, but lighter aromas of herbs, strawberries and cherries provide balance. On the more fruit-forward palate, bitter orange peel and dark chocolate maintain balance, while acid zips past grasping tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"Red berries and cherries on the nose with a hint of bark. Medium to full body with very fine tannins and a tight but fruity finish." James Suckling

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Open-hearted, very appealing bouquet of tart berry fruit, forest floor, bitter almond, blue flowers and grilled herbs. The palate has the typical Sangiovese profile of bright red berries, with wonderfully integrated acidity and freshness. A classic from Castellina in Chianti, rich in finesse every year and unbeatable with white meat dishes and sugos. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. Clear and expressive on the nose, blackberry and redcurrant, followed by some thyme and cloves as well as white pepper and marzipan. Refreshing and lively on the palate, pleasantly savoury, ripe, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, juicy and animating through to the final." Falstaff
"Transparent ruby red colour. Fully ripe fruit with an intense, characteristic, rustic and spicy aroma. Lots of acidity and light tannin after very pure, tangy fruit on the palate. Extremely fresh and quite persistent with a certain fruit fullness. Really very refined and ethereal." Jancis Robinson
"The 2021 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli smells of dark cherry, plum, leather, liquorice, menthol, dried herbs, incense and sage. Supple and expressive, with marvellous depth, the 2021 is a fine edition of pure Chianti Classico." Vinous
"The Chianti Classico Fonterutoli 2021 comes from a vintage that delivered great results throughout the region. It is somewhat darker, stronger and more concentrated than the normal entry-level Chianti Classico. Cherry and dark plum give way to beautiful mineral tones. This added intensity is part of the house style and a little gift for those who appreciate more meat on the Sangiovese bones." Wine Advocate
"Notes of raspberries and cherries with red liquorice, dried orange peel and spices. Medium to full-bodied with a fleshy structure. The tannins are broad and velvety with a juicy, red-fruity mid-palate. Fresh and crisp on the finish." James Suckling
"This powerful red wine is dense and fleshy and is reminiscent of cherry, tobacco, iron, earth and wild herbs. Balanced and fresh, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit, savoury Mediterranean herbs and mineral notes." Wine Spectator
"Red currant on the nose, with hints of cinnamon and bitter licorice, iodized on the palate, with hints of sensations of small fruits and sweet spices." Luca Gardini

“Orion” Primitivo del Salento IGT 2022
Orion is a very special Primitivo, it is always fresh and of a remarkable persistence. Dense ruby red with a violet rim, the nose is intense with aromas of ripe and fleshy red cherries, followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. In the mouth powerful, smooth and very long. Its clearly defined acid wire makes it fresh and pleasantly different from the sweet, jammy Primitivo monotony that is otherwise offered far too often. SUPERIORE.DE

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Fine, slender and racy Chianti Classico from organic cultivation - and one of our particular favourites for 20 years. Captivating aromas, dense, firm body, deep and juicy, with well-defined tannins and a fresh and appetising finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark red; rather discreet; good acidity, juicy acidity, also fruit, tannic, not drying, length." Merum
"Brilliant, youthful ruby red colour. Beautiful, pure bouquet of cherries with mineral and savoury notes. On the palate, an impeccable balance between fresh, concentrated red fruit, juicy acidity and fine, gravelly tannins. Simply irresistible." Jancis Robinson
"The Chianti Classico 2021 is accessible and easy to drink. Mild cherry and dried raspberry, followed by almond, blue flower and peat moss. The winemaking is very simple and starts with spontaneous yeast fermentation and a short maturation in large oak barrels. You get good value, especially with this classic vintage." Wine Advocate
"The Chianti Classico 2021 is great. Bright and vibrant, with plenty of Sangiovese character, the 2021 is everything a Chianti Classico should be. Bright red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and tobacco all come through well in this juicy, wonderfully inviting Chianti Classico. The 2021 is one of the best editions of this wine I've tasted recently." Vinous
"Notes of cooked strawberries, red liquorice, blood orange and cedar wood. Medium body. Bright and racy with crisp acidity and a flavourful finish." James Suckling
"Discreet yet persistent, pretty herbs and spring blossoms sit atop glossy strawberry. While the palate is slightly austere and angular still, it demonstrates terrific tension and focus. Fine-grained tannins provide an effortless, unforced structure, while pristine raspberry notes are heightened by saline minerals in this midweight beauty." Decanter

Italy and wine. They just belong together. In no other country is wine so taken for granted. Italians are connoisseurs. Italian cuisine is world famous. Lunch and dinner are often really celebrated. And there's no meal without wine. This has a long tradition in Italy. Everywhere. From South Tyrol to Sicily. Some regions have built up a great international reputation with special autochthonous varieties that are native only to these regions. Above all Tuscany with Chianti, Brunello or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Or the Super Tuscans after models like Sassicaia, Ornellaia or Tignanello, which can keep up with the best red wines from Bordeaux.
World-famous are also the top wines from Piedmont, Barolo and Barbaresco, which are often compared in their finesse and elegance with much more expensive wines from Burgundy. Or Amarone from the valleys near Verona, Soave and Bardolino from Lake Garda. Or the cool red ones (yes!) from the Sicilian up-and-coming region around the hot volcano Etna.
Italian wines are diversity.
Due to the different climate zones and soils up to the mountains of Valtellina, but also close to the Mediterranean Sea or big lakes, there are various wine variants. Italian White wines as well as red wines, sparkling wines or dessert wines. In San Gimignano as well as in Puglia. From South Tyrol to Sardinia. There is actually no region in Italy without demanding viticulture.
Back to the roots. Old grape varieties and organic wines are "in"
For some years now, excellent wines from organic cultivation have been on the rise. Old grape varieties are rediscovered and celebrate successes, some winegrowers literally fanatically cultivate their wine in amphorae and bring great so-called "natural wines" into the bottle. All this makes Italian wines so typical, wonderful food companions with fine fruit and drinkability are the recipe for success. And all this with a very good price-performance ratio. The best wines of Italy never let boredom arise, from the "icon wine" to the up-and-coming boutique winery: exciting wine experiences await you! SUPERIORE.DE
